Digital Stories Canada is dedicated to the art of digital storytelling with a Canadian connection. The site is maintained by Lorna Boschman, recipient of the 2016 Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award in Film and New Media.

Many of the stories featured here were created through workshops at the grunt gallery in Vancouver – featuring work by community members who collaborated with Lorna Boschman and Sebnem Ozpeta. The free digital storytelling workshop series is offered twice a year through the grunt to create work by community members for the Mount Pleasant Community Art Screen.

Art brings us together as a community. Digital storytelling is one of the best ways to map the aspirations, resiliency and concerns of a community.
