The beautiful Crab Park at Portside. Let's keep it ours!
"KEEP PORT LANDS IN PUBLIC HANDS"
________________________________________________________
Crab Park at portside ( where we hold the annual July 1st Festival ) is the last piece of undeveloped public waterfront land in Vancouver.
A private company wants to build a stadium/entertainmant facility in its vacinity without the people's approval.
This will severely compromise the park's natural beauty and destroy the immediate neighbourhood.
We want the land to remain in the hands of the public, and continue to be available for the benefit and enjoyment of all citizens.
You can learn more about this and offer your support to keep a much-needed waterfront greenspace intact: here.

THANKS GO OUT TO:
* Martin Jordanov of JMS Audio for supplying sound equipment for Radio Bandcouver.
Visit JMS Audio for all your professional sound needs.
* Vancouver Radio Legend Red Robinson for posting my blurb about "Independent Radio" on his Reditorial page.
* Long time local music supporter and columnist Tom Harrison for writing the article on Radio Bandcouver in The Province.

* I, Mark Bignell, work with local music believers:
IMU Productions, and Three Chord Rebel Productions,
perform the odd corporate DJ duties with Swan Sound,
write articles for The Skinny Magazine and The Columbia Journal,
operate for other shows at Co-op radio ( Main & Hastings-alternating Mondays 4-5pm & Metis Matters-Wednesdays 5-6pm )
,co-produce 2 annual festivals: Crab Park Festival ( July 1st, 1-4pm, at the foot of Main Street ) and The Point Roberts Arts & Music Festival ( August 2 & 3 this year, Noon-7pm / Noon-5pm )and support acts who don't tend to cave into form over content!
Radio Bandcouver endeavors to offer some of the spirit that COAST 800 / 1040 and SOUNDPROOF did, in airing music that's a tad more eclectic!
* My co-hort, Arseniy Vodopyanov, is an independent filmmaker, photographer and supports acts that truly inspire him!
Arseniy has a page displaying some of his work.
* Take out or re-new your membership with Radio Bandcouver and Co-op radio at 604-684-7561
