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.

It’s a lively space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers. If you know someone using their creativity as a force for good, we’d love to know. We’re proud to showcase people across the region using their creativity as a force for good in the Weekender’s monthly Creative Forces series, and we welcome nominations from readers.

If you'd like to write for the Weekender, reach out to us with a pitch.

As this mid-size city on North America’s West Coast modifies its laws, bolsters its infrastructure and prepares to host seven World Cup games, The Tyee has followed the developments closely. We’ve looked at the different approaches Canada, Mexico and the U.S. have taken as they’ve prepared for game day, the specific ways the World Cup will transform Vancouver and the tournament’s potential costs to the city, both to its finances and to its people. And then two Tyee editors debated whether the games are even worth it.

Look out for more coverage of the World Cup in The Tyee. This coverage is 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.
