Summer is just around the corner, and The Westcoast Reader print edition will be taking its usual break in July and August until September. But, don’t worry, the online version is not closing up shop in the summer!
Our editorial team has decided to revive some of the most popular older articles from the print editions and offer them to you in electronic format. Most of the pdf’s will be accompanied by grammar and vocabulary exercises.
Many thanks to The Vancouver Sun and The Province for giving The Westcoast Reader permission to re-use their photos for our “Reader Favourites” summer series.
Every Monday and Wednesday, we will upload a pdf file of one such article; Fridays will be dedicated to summer announcements and reader submissions.
We are also preparing polls and a contest for you, so keep checking our website regularly!
