Vancouver’s guide to just about everything.
Born on the eve of the Summer of Love, The Georgia Straight has been a cultural cornerstone of Vancouver since May 1967. Originally created as an alternative to the city’s conservative papers, today we’re on a mission to build community through thoughtful, insightful coverage of all things local.
We are your go-to destination for discovering Vancouver: what bands to know about, what restaurants to check out, and what events are going on this weekend—but also who’s pushing this city forward.
Curious, progressive, engaging, and a hell of a lot of fun, The Georgia Straight is an essential part of life in Vancouver.
Throughout the year, The Georgia Straight also produces two exciting reader polls:
- Golden Plates Awards (Spring): The best in local food
- Best of Vancouver (Fall): The best in local, well, everything else
The Georgia Straight is audited by Verified Audit Circulation (VAC).
