AHA MEDIA is very proud to celebrate its Second Birthday and Second Year Anniversary online on Thursdayday November 11, 2010
Dear friends, family and fans of AHA MEDIA
We are very happy to share with you that AHA MEDIA online has turned 2 years! This joyous occasion is to be celebrated with some cake and champagne, so please enjoy with us!
We’ve had a full and very enriching year learning, growing, working, collaborating and being part of something greater in Vancouver and Downtown Eastside!
When AHA MEDIA works as Fearless City Mobile project participants from W2 Community Media Arts Centre, we peer train others in our Downtown Eastside (DTES) neighbourhood on media literacy and help bridge the digital divide in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, most recently through our DTES CAMP
AHA MEDIA is very proud and honored to be in the documentary film With Glowing Hearts
We are proud to continue to grow everyday and help document/report from social justice issues , community festivals and social media events!
AHA MEDIA enjoys providing an independent and alternative perspective to general main stream media views. Through our new media devices and cameraphones, we hope to be a news resource for everyone who is interested in us.
We appreciate everyone and all the times we were able to help in providing our services!
We look forward to another great year with you!
Thanks very much! 🙂

PRESERVING FOOD TRADITIONS Workshop for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Saturday Nov 6 2010
Workshop
PRESERVING FOOD TRADITIONS
Saturday November 6, 1pm-4pm
radha yoga & eatery, 728 Main, 2nd floor
This fall, radha offers “Urban Meanings”—a unique series of interactive workshops for soul sustenance and inspiration in the city. Andrea Potter, chef at radha, shares her experiences and lessons learned in preserving traditional foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi and pickles. We will make a batch of community ‘kraut and discuss questions such as: How do I, a modern city-dweller, benefit from learning an ancient skill? What are the benefits of preserving food at home? How do I benefit from preparing food with a community? What is culture? Fermented foods are ‘cultured’ by a community of organisms. Join us in this fun, community-oriented discussion and take home a recipe and practical skill to get started in preserving your own food traditions! For more information: 604-605-0011 or www.radhavancouver.org. $40, please pre-register with a $15 non-refundable deposit. (5 seats pay as you can, pre-register)

CELEBRATION OF OPPENHEIMER PARK for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Saturday Nov 6 2010
Community Celebration
CELEBRATION OF OPPENHEIMER PARK
Saturday November 6, 11am-2:30pm
Oppenheimer Park, 488 Powell
Join the community in a celebration of Chief Henry Robertson’s new carvings to be installed in Oppenheimer Park. Many trees fell during the devastating storm in Stanley Park four years ago, and with the help of Constant Arts Society and the DTES Heart of the City Festival, one of those large cedars has found a home in the Downtown Eastside. The cedar is being carved in two vertical halves by Chief Robertson, his son Henry Robertson Jr., local carvers and community youth. Join us for music, drumming, song, ceremony and celebration as we honour these two new carvings for the Downtown Eastside in the traditional territory of the Coast Salish.
Afternoon musical guests include: Sam George (Tse-at-sul-tuxch) of the Squamish Nation; the Snowy Owl Drummers with Dalannah Gail Bowen and Aboriginal women of the community; Oppenheimer Park’s Sunshine Choir led by Swallow Zhou; the Carnegie Village Choir conducted by Beverly Dobrinsky; and Patrick Smith with the Oppenheimer Drum Group.
This carving project and celebration is made possible with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, City of Vancouver Great Beginnings Program, Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, Vancouver Moving Theatre, Constant Arts Society and the Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival. Everyone welcome! Free
