Every week from Friday to Sunday night, you've likely noticed The Tyee with a new look and feel. It's our new culture section, the Weekender. Because we're now devoting weekends to showcasing creative ingenuity in Vancouver and across the region.
The Tyee has long run culture stories, but having a place to showcase them puts a new emphasis on the importance of these pieces in our lives, building a meeting place for a diverse and intergenerational audience.
Our hope is that the Weekender will act as a new space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers.
You can expect to see an exciting range of work by Tyee staff writers as well as new voices taking the Weekender stage. If you'd like to be a part of it, reach out to us with a pitch.
Thanks to our featured sponsor for our April 25 edition: Figure 1 Publishing.

Tripping over the rug
(read related story)
“Sometimes we think that if we don’t talk about things that happened in the past, those events will have no impact on us today. That is far from reality. Rather, past events and experiences have a way of impacting us, even when we don’t want to think about them. I share these wise words a therapist once said to me when trying to avoid discussing an uncomfortable issue. ‘Sweep it under the rug, and you are bound to trip over it.’
For some, that might be the most difficult part of truth and reconciliation. While it can be difficult to hear the stories, it can be even harder to realize that those experiences of mistreatment and discrimination made easier paths for others, especially if those others are us.”
