CAROLYN FUNG
From Halifax, NS Carolyn brings to MMV a fresh perspective on Vancouver living.

JOANNA LEE, ARTS & DINING
As a graduate in the interdisciplinary arts (majoring in art history and economics), Joanna has a careful appreciation of the finer things in life.

KENNETH LAW
Ken is a purveyor of things he deems “randomly cool and whimsical”. This can include anything from tracking down early demo CDs of avant-garde atonal 8 piece bands to reading scholarly journal articles on apocalyptic predictions, as long as it’s something that may come up on “Jeopardy” it’s worth picking up. By training Ken is a tree-hugger and seal-rescuer, but his weekend hobbies align closer to analyzing obscure clothing designs, most of which he cannot afford, critiquing fancy restaurants that he probably cannot fund going to again, and bouncing around randomly in concerts.
