This podcast was recorded on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories belonging to the Qayqayt First Nation; in a socially-distanced recording space in the Gallery at Queen’s Park.

Since 2015, the Music by the River Festival has taken place on Thursday evenings in Westminster Pier Park. However, due to COVID-19 Pandemic and the need for social-distancing, it is presented this year as a podcast series.

Season 2 of the ArtsNW podcast is produced by the Arts Council of New Westminster, and brought to you by the Government of Canada, Province of BC, the BC Arts Council, and the City of New Westminster. The theme music for this season is composed and recorded by Benjamin Millman.
