Iran Dance Protest
On International Women’s Day, a Persian dance group used dance, which is banned for women in Iran, to protest the gender inequalities of that country. Laura Wright finds out more.

New Olympic Broadcast Centre
Midweek’s Meg Wilcox takes a tour of the W2 Media and Culture House in downtown Vancouver—a hub for non-traditional media and citizen journalists reporting on the Games.

Chinese Banquet
Studies show the Chinese community is at high-risk for chronic diseases. Midweek’s Sannah Choi learns how the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation are promoting healthy eating habits at a Chinese banquet.

From Field to Table
Midweek’s Anna Konewka finds out how community gardening and nutrition relate.

Strip
International Women’s Day and strip clubs make an odd mix. But Midweek’s Victoria Ptashnick took the day to check out Ottawa’s Barefax and learn what strip culture means to dancers and those who watch them.
