Children and Creativity -Awinning combination! Creativity at play.Inspiring futures.
That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby.The Burnaby Now,localbusinesses and organizations, and the Burnaby School District, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section
Every year,the students create insightful, creative, thoughtful –and often humorous –advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects while also conveying compellingmessages at times.
Businesses and groups can select which students’ advertisements get to run in the section. This year once again, instead of aprofessional photographer being able to visit the schools, the teachers have graciously sent some into us! The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby Now and then another Design an Ad section is complete.
Iwould like to thank all the students, teachers, and advertisers who continue to make this annual project asuccess.
