In preparing for my move, I asked myself one day, what will it be like to live there -- not as a newcomer, but as one who had already assimilated into the community and culture. I recalled how it was when I was a teenager growing up in the U.S. There came a point when I became a local, no longer feeling separate, but part of my new community.
So, about two months before my scheduled departure to Canada, I started a daily morning habit of reading online news publications. I wanted to get a feel of Canada, and more specificallly, Vancouver and B.C. What happens there on a daily basis? What are the people interested in or concerned about? What are the issues that preoccupy or invade their daily lives? What do they celebrate and is a source of pride and identity.
Here are the publications I read daily:
Vancouver Sun - www.vancouversun.com
The Province - www.theprovince.com
Vancouver Courier - www.vancourier.com
The Georgia Straight - www.straight.com
Happy reading!
