The Courier and Metro Years

 

Here are a few stories from when I wrote my reported column in the Vancouver Courier called Talk of the Block (2015 to 2018) and another in Metro called Urban Scrawl (2017 to 2018). I am a bit embarrassed by the writing as I was a fresh grad at the time! But they were popular reads nonetheless, and almost always on the front page. Because both papers have since closed, the links here are via Wayback Machine.
