Spring turns one’s eye to the beauty around us. And what better way to celebrate the season than to purchase the new issue of Megaphone out on the streets today from a vendor. In this issue:

Radical Acts of Art: Photographer Jayce Salloum isn’t afraid of battling government censorship in order elevate marginalized people’s stories through his art.

More Livable Cities: Vancouver could learn from other cities battling homelessness by providing their own low-income homes.

Database Delivers: Vancouver declares its rental standards database a success, but it only covers half of the city’s rental units.

Pour One Out: Megaphone vendor Bob remembers the friends of his father—those who drank, those who didn’t, and those that are still with us.

Plus: Poet Neil Benson talks about the meaning behind his metaphors; housing activists fear a notorious developer is eyeing another low-income hotel; Megaphone launches its annual Voices of the Street literary issue; and much more!
