Every week from Friday to Sunday night, The Tyee has a fresh look and feel. It’s the Weekender, our weekend culture section for the arts, life and ideas.

The Tyee’s Weekender is home to some of the best independent culture writers in B.C. You’ll find fun, lively writing on the intersections between culture and politics, health, environment, technology and more.

If you’d like to write for the Weekender, reach out to us with a pitch. The Weekender newsletter goes out to readers every Saturday morning and features a special weekly “Three Things” digest from culture editor Dorothy Woodend. Subscribe today.

The Tyee has always had a reputation as a home for excellent stories on the climate, environment and all sorts of wondrous creatures — stories that you won’t find anywhere else.

And since the launch of our new biodiversity module in April, that coverage has been supercharged, with close looks at oceans and rivers in Western Canada and the state of environmental protections and politics in the Carney era.

Read on for some of this fresh biodiversity coverage, supported by our Builder members. You can join them here.

From Alaska to California, people are pouring their smarts and hearts into successful enterprises that are low carbon and locally rooted. They’re employing and training, producing and sustaining.

So The Tyee created a whole new section to tell their stories and share best practices for a healthy bioregion. We call it What Works. It’s where you’ll find regular reports on the business of creating what works for a better future.
