Dear Tyee Reader, We are less than a week away from our November 13 deadline to raise funds to support investigative environmental journalism in honour of the late Rafe Mair. So far, 190 people have given over $12,000. If we’re going to hit our target of $50,000, we’ve got a long way to go. That’s why we were overjoyed when we received a message from the Karen Cooper Gallery, a fine art photography gallery in Vancouver. These special folks have offered to donate the sale of a Limited Edition Fine Art Aluminum Print to the Rafe Mair Memorial Fund. To view the piece and purchase online, go here: http://karencoopergallery.com/rafemairmemorialfund/
"Lynn Canyon Stairway" Limited Edition Aluminum Print. Image courtesy of Karen Cooper Art Gallery. “Lynn Canyon Stairway” captures the lush forested area on Vancouver’s North Shore, not far from Lions Bay, where Rafe Mair called home for the late years of his life. As a reminder, 100% of the funds raised in the Rafe Mair Memorial Fund will go towards heavy-hitting environmental reporting. If we hit our $50,000 goal, we’ll create a new fellowship for an emerging environmental reporter to pursue a series of articles, with mentorship from experienced editors and journalists. Take home a beautiful photo of British Columbia’s coastal rainforest, and know that your purchase went to help fund independent journalism that will shine a light on the battles being fought over BC’s wild places. Click here now to check out “Lynn Canyon Stairway.” Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will go to the Rafe Mair Memorial Fund for Environmental Reporting. Or, to give to the fund directly, just click here. In appreciation, Jeanette Ageson, The Tyee PS. Our deadline to hit $50,000 is mere days away! Will you help us get there, and fund fearless reporting on BC environmental issues? Click here to give now. | |
