On Friday 17, we hosted the Capilano Courier Awards with a very special guest speaker—Irwin Oostindie, former Courier crew member and winner of the 2025 CapU Alumni Awards! He shared about his journey as a student organizer and activist in the late 1980s, the role of print and media in knowledge mobilization, and what we can do as a student publication to join existing efforts to build Vancouver as an inclusive city.

In this episode, listen to Irwin talk about journalism, witnessing, and how to mobilize communities through storytelling and media.
