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.
