Since Richmondside launched last June, we’ve been reporting in depth on air quality and related issues in the city. We’ve investigated and mapped Richmond’s major pollution sources, spoken to local doctors about community health impacts, profiled organizations working to offset carbon emissions by planting trees, and published a bilingual resource guide for people concerned or impacted by air pollution, among other articles.

Instead, we’ll be highlighting local clubs and organizations that are bringing the joy back and ushering in an exciting new era of sports and fandom in The Town.
