Finding news on the drive home

Heading home after a long day at The Undercurrent office, I began noticing the type of arrow signs indicating film locations so ubiquitous around Vancouver. Smelling a story, I followed the string of film trucks heading south.

Heading home after a long day at The Undercurrent office, I began noticing the type of arrow signs indicating film locations so ubiquitous around Vancouver. Smelling a story, I followed the string of film trucks heading south.

The set had locations marked off in a number of places, and I made my way around to all of them, hoping to catch someone for an interview before deadline. It was a bit crazy, driving around in the dark, but that’s the thing about being a journalist, even on a small weekly paper, it’s still important to get the story.

I found out that the crew wasn’t going to vanish by morning so I was able to return to the scene and bring you the scoop.

Finding enough fresh stories to fill what seems like a little paper is a big task. It’s always a treat to have people pop in with their news and photos. Please keep the leads coming and contributions coming.

This week I hope you enjoy the stories and images from some of the Halloween fun that went on over the weekend. We are also looking ahead to Remembrance Day with a story shared by sisters Pernille and Tina Neilson about their dad who was part of the resistance during WWII.
