A Vancouver-based choreographer will celebrate 20 years of artistry with a star-studded gala this week. Joshua Beamish founded MOVETHECOMPANY at age 17. On Thursday and Friday he will stage two performances, bringing together some of North America's finest dance artists on a single stage. "[Audiences are] going to see five works - that are relatively short - that span my career from 2007 until 2022. So it's quite a spectrum of work from different points in my creative career," Beamish explained.

Once a bustling commercial hub in the 1960s and 70s, the gradual decline of Vancouver's Chinatown neighbourhood started in the 1980s and 90s. In recent years, that decline has been compounded by concerns about public safety and gentrification. Reports of violence because of Chinatown's proximity to the Downtown Eastside have also discouraged visits to the area. This all came to a head during the COVID-19 pandemic, when anti-Asian racism increased by 717 per cent.

Eve Lazarus of North Vancouver has made a career out of highlighting the hidden histories that are all around us in books like Vancouver Exposed and Cold Case BC. Her latest title - Beneath Dark Waters: The Legacy of the Empress of Island Shipwreck - follows that tradition and is perhaps her most ambitious work to date. The May 1914 sinking of the Empress of Ireland in the mouth of the St. Lawrence River is still the worst peacetime maritime disaster in Canadian history.
