SEEN IN VANCOUVER #332: Our Favourite 365 Scout Images From The Past 365 Days

If we have our post-dated shit together, this should be the first Scout post of 2012 (scheduled to be published at 12:00am on January 1st). Even if we don’t and it isn’t, we’d still like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our readers, who checked us out over 2 million times (making 2011 our busiest year yet), and to all our 100+ advertisers and GOODS members. We’d also like to thank our many contributors – Nic, Will, Amorita, Claire, Dan, Kim, Sean, Joe, David, Owen, Morna, Emily, Ian, Ellen, Scott – you folks are awesome! Thanks also to our social media manager Kimberley Ong for her @scoutmagazine tweeting; to Phoebe and Aren at Glasfurd & Walker for making us look so damn good; and to Karen Hamilton of Tiny Bites for tricking out our tech. We’re stoked about what we have in store for Vancouver in the coming year, but today we’re looking back on the one that was. Here are our favourite 365 photos from the last 365 days, including the phone shot of Save On Meats above, which was taken mid-lunch earlier today…
