Carne and vegetarian tacos
Handmade tortillas
Mexican street corn
Fun activities for the kids

On June 1, we had the pleasure of welcoming over 200 members of Vancouverâs post-production community to another sold-out VPA Summer BBQ at Craft Beer Market in English Bay.
From reconnecting with colleagues and making new connections to enjoying great food, drinks, and one of the best waterfront views in the city, it was a fantastic way to kick off the summer together.
We’re also proud to share that, thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,500 for the BC Cancer Foundation through our raffle fundraiser! Congratulations to our raffle winners, and a huge thank you to our generous prize donors: Western Imperial, Line 21, and Oddfellows.
Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our volunteers, sponsors, dedicated VPA team, and, most importantly, our incredible members. Thank you for celebrating with us, for supporting one another, and for being part of the Vancouver Post Alliance community. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

VPA Summer Wellness Seriesâ
â
Supporting the Mind Behind the Workâ
â
Post-production runs on focus, pressure, and constant gear-switching â and that takes a toll over time. The VPA is partnering with our friend and colleague Shanelle Connell, a Registered Clinical Counsellor with Therapy: Off Script (a practice built specifically for film and entertainment professionals), on a short video series for our members.â
â
Here`s what she`ll be covering:â
â
COGNITIVE SWITCHING COST â The Art of Depletion Through Distraction: Why constant task-switching quietly drains your focus and creativity, even on a "normal" day.â
â
THE TORTURED ARTIST â Why Great Work Only Feels Possible When You Suffer: Challenging the myth that burnout is the price of doing great work.â
â
FINDING IDENTITY â Because When Work Slows, Who Are You Really? What happens to our sense of self between projects â and how to build an identity that isn`t tied to being busy.â
â
đď¸ The first video, âCOGNITIVE SWITCHING COSTâ, is now up on our website! Check it out here at our link in Bio!â

Little House on the Prairieâ
Streaming Now on Netflixâ
â
After more than four decades, the classic, much-beloved show Little House on the Prairie is returning to TV. While the bones of the show are the same â a family leaving home and migrating for more opportunity, facing the harsh landscape and what that brings with it â this Netflix Original Series adaptation, which premiered on July 9, is more aligned with the book version.â
â
The series is aiming to align more closely with American pioneer Laura Ingall Wilder`s semi-autobiographical novels, which follow the Ingall family`s early years on the Osage Nation Reservation from 1869 to 1871.â
â
]Filmed in Manitoba and finished in Vancouver, this project has many Vancouver crew members to congratulate! â
