Billboards, Halloween and Sustainability… oh my!

It’s raining!  Perfect time to convene for a bit of coffee house activism.   A nice cup of steaming tea, a cookie, and a chance to plot up some public space shenanighans.

Luckily, the VPSN has not one but two opportunities for you this evening.

1. Billboards, outdoor advertising and public space corporatization…  Help us map out a strategy to deal with the expansion of outdoor advertising in Vancouver.
