Behind the Scenes

We are associated with the Canadian Association of Journalists and this weekend they are holding a conference in Vancouver. Our very own Spencer Hall is attending and ran into some old friends while meeting some new ones.

The goal of this conference is to bring together journalists from across the country while attending various workshops and hearing from keynote speakers such as photojournalist Amber Bracken. Journalism is always a learning experience and we appreciate the opportunity to learn new techniques!

1. Vehicle Impounded from Drunk Driver: A driver recently had their new vehicle impounded for not having a license and blowing a blood alcohol concentration over .05.
