AHA MEDIA at the Opening of the Vancouver City Centre – Canada Line Station
AHA MEDIA was very pleased to attend the Opening of the Vancouver City Centre – Canada Line Station located at Georgia and Granville Streets.
Lineups stretched around the block and the wait time for the Free Skytrain ride to Richmond were more than 2 1/2 hours!!
In this video, Today, August 17, 2009 is a historical day! The Canada Line is open to the public and goes between Vancouver and Richmond
The line makes Vancouver the only city in Canada to provide a high speed link between its airport and downtown core
This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone. For a better quality version of this video, please DM April Smith @AprilFilms on Twitter.

AHA MEDIA films Vancouver Critical Mass Bike Riders on Robson and Burrard Streets
As our urban environment screams for a reduction in pollution, Critical Mass movements around the world lead the way. This event, typically held on the last Friday of every month is where bicyclists and other self-propelled commuters take to the streets en masse.
Critical Mass is a grassroots reclamation of public space — a bike ride and skate — held the last Friday of every month. Bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates, self propelled couches, and any other form of human powered locomotion are all welcomed!
Although this event did not originate as a protest movement many cyclists have adopted this event to ‘reclaim’ the streets and reflect the urgency for environmental care and change.
