ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Granville Island Works is a GIBCA Olympic Committee initiative.

Format inspired by Peter Braune, New Leaf Editions.

This project is the result of a synchronistic meeting many months ago between a printmaker on Granville Island and an inspired graphic design student, whose school assignment led her to the Island in search of a good story.
