AHA MEDIA at Great Farm Trek 2009 at UBC
The Schedule
PAST: UBC Farm History
PRESENT: The Vancouver Campus Planning process and the UBC Farm
FUTURE: The Great Farm Trek 2009
AHA MEDIA helped to celebrate the UBC Farm and its future! 🙂
“It has been a great year for the farm, in terms of innovative programming, awards, and media attention. However, the future of the 24 hectare farm is still not clear, so it is time to come together to celebrate the Farm’s accomplishments and show our unified support for a bright future for the Farm! This is a celebratory, family-friendly event. We want thousands to join us as we trek from the UBC Student Union Building (SUB) via the Board of Governors meeting and then on to the UBC Farm.”
“We will have Vancouver’s own ever-wacky and danceable Carnival Band, the high-energy percussion ensemble known as Sambata, Papa Thom from the Shepherd’s Pie Tour ’09, Agora String Band, and much more! At the UBC farm there will be music (the soul-quakin’, boot-shakin’ bluegrass boys of the Agora String Band, and the hip hop alt country tom waits-sylin’ Blackberry Wood.) As well there will be food, addresses from James Mackinnon (100-Mile Diet author,) Rex Weyler (Greenpeace founder), special recorded greetings from David Suzuki, and the Mayor of Vancouver, and a ceremonial planting. ”

AHA MEDIA helps to give coverage of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES )
We, at AHA MEDIA are lucky to help give coverage of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES ). As we move towards the 2010 Winter Olympics, there are many different media groups reporting on our area. such as “Operation Phoenix”
As we are local DTES residents and citizen journalists, we are able to provide OUR unique perspective to the situations and issues concerning us and work with others who want to hear what we have to say 🙂
Below is a photo of Stephen Hui, Technology and Online Editor of the Georgia Straight publication, J-Hock DTES outreach and April Smith of AHA MEDIA hearing what each other has to say about Technology, Citizen Journalism and the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. 🙂
Thanks to everyone who supports us in trying to give the Vancouver Downtown Eastside OUR type of media representation . 🙂
