Easy on the eyes, thoughtful at their core.

Pique Newsmagazine’s October editions trace the experiences shaping B.C. communities through personal narratives and deeper looks at the issues behind them.

Illustrated by Jon Parris, these covers spotlight an Inuit woman reflecting on the joy of cutting fish, a Whistler journalist sharing her personal breast cancer journey, and a local writer’s creative outdoor writing space. One issue also delves into B.C.’s resource rush and its impact on Indigenous reconciliation, with leaders cautioning that industrial expansion could strain relations with First Nations.
