As the weather chills and the holiday season approaches, Megaphone #93 takes a retrospective look at Lookout Emergency Aid Society as it celebrates its 40^th anniversary. The organization has provided shelter for more than 11,000 people in the last three years alone.

We also profile local comedian Graham Clark—and his facial hair. The do-gooder funny man donates his comedic and artistic talent to a number of charities, Megaphone included.

Also inside this issue, David Suzuki uses logic to fight for nature; internationally renowned author and activist Naomi Klein voices her concern against condo development in the Downtown Eastside; and we have vendor profiles, upcoming art events, poetry from our writing workshops, horoscopes and more!
