Editor’s letter
Dear Sophie,
Thirty! Somewhere between the girl who blew out five candles in her mum’s kitchen and the woman who runs half of Vancouver’s best rooftop parties, you became our favourite person.
This year we wish you adventures that scare you a little, rest that restores you a lot, and a decade even more golden than the last.
— Maya, Liam, Chloé & the gang

Thirty years in print

Golden hour
Rooftops, friends and a city that sparkles a little more because she is in it.

Caps in the air
Graduated with honours — and the loudest cheer squad in the hall.
p. 22
16
The road-trip summer
Windows down along the coast, singing every word wrong.
p. 16
5
The first wish
Rainbow sprinkles, five candles and a wish she still won’t tell us.
