Here at the Vancouver Tech Journal, community comes first. We know the new year can be hard on your wallet (it’s the cost of living in such a beautiful place, right?), so we wanted to help you start 2023 off well.

We’ve assembled a library of perks and benefits from a collection of local companies, including discounts on products, courses, events, and experiences. Each quarter, you’ll receive an email like this one updating you on the latest perks in our collection, or you can view them at any time here. 

Of course, these perks are only available to Vancouver Tech Journal members.
