TopicsLooking for People from B.C.
Hello Allcanucks,My name is Robert Arseneau, I'm part of the editorial department with
BCBusiness magazine, based near Vancouver. I was hoping someone at your
organization could help us with a popular article we run each month called
Expat. We find people from British Columbia who are working in exciting
locations around the world and ask them a few questions via email about
work, life and culture in their new surroundings.
We are looking for a previous B.C. resident working in a non-diplomatic
position in Denmark for an upcoming issue of the magazine.
If someone at your office can think of a person who might like to
participate or another organization that might be able to help, please write
me back and I'll be happy to contact them. Also, feel free to forward this
email to anyone who might be interested.
If you're interested, here are a few examples of articles we've done in the
past:

Thanks for the help, I hope to hear from you soon.
Here are the questions. We would also like to have a high-resolution picture
of you to go with the piece, preferably something casual that shows
something of the area where you live.
When answering the questions, try to be as light and candid as possible. It
helps to think of it as chatting with someone at a café, rather than writing
an email. Anecdotes are fantastic, if any of the questions triggers a
specific memory for you. Two to three sentences for each question will be
plenty. Also, please feel free to include anything else you'd like to add.
