The editors of Spacing are excited to announce that the magazine will host a release party at the Canvas Lounge in Vancouver to celebrate the publication of the newest national issue. We will have some fun activities and a few door prizes. This event is held in conjunction with the annual conference for the Canadian Association of Planning Students (CAPS).
This is the first of a few release parties we will host across. Details of our Toronto event (and possibly Ottawa and Montreal) will come next week.
For those of you with friends and colleagues in Vancouver, please pass this event onto them. You can forward them our Facebook event listing, too.
