This week marks the start of the Spacing Road Show!
Spacing’s publisher Matthew Blackett is setting out on a 10,000km journey across Canada in June and July to promote the new national issue and to host launch parties/discussion panels in 10 cities (senior editor Shawn Micallef joins the tour in Edmonton). There are two parts to this tour: a western swing from Winnipeg to Victoria (June 16-July 5), and an eastern swing from Toronto to Halifax (July 12-25).
First up: Winnipeg on Thursday, June 16th at the RAW Gallery.
Events on the western swing will take place in Saskatoon (June 20th), Edmonton (June 22nd), Calgary (June 24th), Vancouver (June 28th), and Victoria (July 5th). The eastern swing starts in Toronto (July 12th), and heads to Ottawa (July 19th), Montreal (July 21st), and Halifax (July 25th).Check out the Spacing Road Show micro site for all the details of each event. You can also visit Spacing’s Facebook page to RSVP to the events in your city.
At each event you’ll be able to pick up a copy of the new national issue and ask questions to the panelists. The discussion topics will vary from city to city to reflect local urban design concerns.
Please take the time to invite your colleagues to these events and spread the word to your far-flung friends who might be interested in Spacing.
