Hélène Lequitte at La Source wrote a very thoughtful piece on Forbidden Vancouver in October 2012. Hélène and Will spent a good while talking through the motivations and passions behind Forbidden Vancouver – made for an interesting article! (provided you can speak French of course). Hélène was kind enough to talk in English to Will, since his French is ‘somewhat rusty’.
