Meet Chris Parry, V.I.A.’s new stock reporter.

Another great local Kickstarter project launched today! In the video below is Bika, the bike rack made of salvaged pine beetle wood. Learn more here .

Vancouver's Steven Sal Debus just launched a Kickstarter project for a new product that's going to have you saying "Why didn't somebody already do that?!" then hopefully pitching in to help make it a reality.

It's been heartening to see so many projects continue to successfully crowdfund here in Vancouver, and we've been showcasing some of our favourite projects over the past years trying to give them an extra push.

Over the next few years I'm publishing 500 Coffees , introducing you to hundreds of people who are doing interesting stuff in and for the city you live in. This is COFFEE #81.

Generally when we post local Kickstarter campaigns we'll share one at a time, but there are currently three really great Vancouver inventions being crowdfunded right now so today we opted for a roundup. The first invention is Lifepack.

Yesterday I wrote this post about Connor Meakin's new brand, Pure Bone Broth , that just launched out of Vancouver. In my haste I wrote that it's BC's only bone broth brand, but that's actually not the case, so I figured I should clear it up.

My friend Connor Meakin has been brewing up something great lately. Over the past six months he's been testing recipes and methods, and has perfected two bone broth recipes that he's now proudly selling in Vancouver.

Here's another great Kickstarter project out of Vancouver: YodelUp! It's a new product developed by two brothers who love snowboarding and music, and it allows you to control the music playing on your phone as well as acting as a walkie talkie.
