I am thrilled that Vancouver Is Awesome is the newest publication to join our product mix at Glacier Media. The digital team is so jacked about it that we are dedicating this e-news as an extended introduction: the get-to-know (here), the sponsored content need-to-know (here), and the fun facts did-you-know (look below).

As a follower slash fan slash nerd, I love that VIAwesome is so happy and upbeat. Rain slogging naysayers will need to look elsewhere because this is one hundred percent Fun City.
