Local journalism needs your support

Vancouver Is Awesome was built on the idea that community comes first. We are proud to be a trusted source for local news, food, travel, and Canucks coverage and we value the opportunity we have to spotlight small businesses and awesome people doing awesome things in and for Vancouver.

However, Meta blocking news sites in Canada has made it challenging to easily share our stories.

Producing quality journalism is even more important now.

Your financial support means we can continue delivering the stories about and for Vancouver that V.I.A. is known for.

Every dollar goes back into our journalism.

If you read our stories on a regular basis on our website or through our newsletters, we thank you for being a loyal reader.

If you can help us with a financial contribution, that would be greatly appreciated.
