We took second place in the annual IAFF Media Awards competition for our "Community Partnership" campaign.

Stream of Dreams
We took advantage of media covering the new Lougheed Skytrain station's opening to grab a little of their attention. Using the 300ft long chain-link fence that connected it to the mall, more than 1,000 children mounted their painted fish in the name of salmon conservation.

Fire Prevention Week
Each year, we created a media event surrounding fire awareness. This year's challenge involved a friendly competition between the Fire Chief and the Mayor racing on air propelled scooters.

Live and Let Live
From 1998-2003, 1,304 BC youth lost their lives. These stats inspired Lougheed Town Centre to put a new PR spin on the upcoming Grad Season. This multi-layered program received over $200,000 in media exposure, ICSC accolades, and the Solicitor General's Safety Award. The campaigns finale was a 675 person candlelight vigil, led by the Mayor, down Lougheed Highway in the pouring rain!
Lunar New Year
In 2006, Lougheed Town Centre's "Chinese New Year" event was ready for a shakeup. We renamed the event "Lunar New Year" to include the bordering Korean community. This two-day event celebrated both cultures, their dignitaries, artists, community groups, and traditional performers. PR efforts resulted in multiple pages of print coverage and hours of TV/cable coverage.
Vital Information Program
As community partners with the Burnaby Firefighters, we designed the collateral to get their program launched and assisted with editorial support.
