Support the Tyee Fellowship and Fund Independent, Investigative Journalism in BC!

Written by TheTyee
Change topics:
 

The Tyee is fundraising to create four Investigative and Reporting Fellowships, grants we give to journalists to finance in-depth analysis of important issues in BC. Previous Tyee Fellowships have broken major stories, empowered citizens, and won national awards. They've uncovered dangerously inadequate dams on the Fraser River, argued for cheap public transit, explored the possibilities for improving our schools, brilliantly advocated for toxic-free job sites, and have chronicled the local urban farming revolution. Once we've raised the money - we have $3,500 to go and eight days left to find it - journalists can apply by proposing their ideas, which will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges. Anyone who donates to the Fellowship can suggest ideas and be entered to win one of three fantastic prizes. Visit http://thetyee.ca/About/Donate/ to help fund fiesty, fresh, investigative journalism in BC!

Bridging the Generation Gap Workshop:
This workshop is designed to bring elders and youth together to open dialogue on the issue of racism through which they come up with inter-generational ways of combating racism on a micro and macro scale. We aim to promote multiculturalism and diversity where we disolve common cultural stigmas.

The workshops are delivered by Elders from 411 Seniors Centre Society for youth ages 15-25. There are various locations throughout Vancouver in Richmond, East Van, Burnaby, and North Vancouver between November 2-10, so sign up now as there is limited space!

If you are interested in participating or require further information please contact Catherine at 604.684.8171 ext 231 or ceagles@411seniors.bc.ca

The fourth annual Homelessness Action Week is coming up October 11 - 17. This year add your voice to the call for a national, affordable housing strategy at www.stophomelessness.ca.

Four Metro Vancouver mayors including Surrey mayor and council are supporting this intiative.

Also, check out the calendar pages on the website to see what is happening in your community. Volunteers are needed for Project Homeless Connect events.

Vancity staff really stepped up to the plate in 2008 and volunteered at Connect events in Surrey and Vancouver. In case you missed it, here is a link to the video Kate made in Surrey last year:
