EXPERIENCE

Starting at 9PM PST on the night of March 6, 2009, the Great Northern Way Campus in Vancouver will be connected live to SAT in Montreal via fibre optic cable and mobile camera operators streaming live footage to in-house projection screens at both locations. With VJs mixing new and archival footage, the two cities will trace their common theme to a stunning soundtrack from Akufen and Deepchild.

We are inviting our friends across Canada to let us know if they can host a drop-box for mobile device drop-offs. Let us know via twitter: @FearlessCity or email info at fearlessmedia dot ca.

Another festive donor shows off her soon-to-be Fearless swag, a sweet little camera soon to be doing good all over the DTES!

Eric is pictured with his flipphone donation for Fearless. As he helpfully reminds us, it's never too late to donate!

Another mugshot of Phaedra, a happy donor for Phones for Fearless! Hi Mom! (this can't be the first time someone on the DTES has sent this message)

Props to the crew at social media marketing firm Radar DDB in downtown Vancouver for recruiting donations from their staff team for use by Downtown Eastside residents. Thanks James, Matt and Brett and everyone at radarddb

Read all about it: Phones for Fearless is far from finished! With all the great gifts people got over the holidays, we know there will be some used phones, cameras, and other mobile devices kicking around looking for new homes, and we stand ready to provide them!
