STAR POWER
Vancouver celebs have had plenty of moments on our covers and in our pages. Here are a few of our favourites.
BRYAN ADAMS FEBRUARY 1986
Adams’s hit single Let Me Take You
Dancing earned him a spot on our “Nine Bands for the Eighties” list in April 1980 (alongside Bob Coulter, Cover Boys and The Young Canadians); he later appeared on the cover of VanMag’s February 1986 issue... in a pair of purple tights.
DAVID SUZUKI AUGUST 1981
The Vancouver-born activist took his daughter, Severn, on a week-long trip to Toronto sans mother (“Feminist Tara was in no position to deny this, and there was just a slight hesitation before she nodded assent”) and shared his thoughts on travelling alone with an eight-month-old baby.
SETH ROGEN JULY 2 007
After landing a starring role in Knocked Up, the Vancouver-born comedian had lofty goals for the future: screenwriting ( Pineapple Express hit the big screen just one year later) and commissioning the Seth Rogan Public Restroom in his hometown.
