GrindDown Vancouver Magazine As a locally owned, operated, and created magazine, GrindDown Vancouver Magazine‘s mission is to not only be a solid source of quality locally written articles and local information; but also to show the real human side to issues and ideas from its writers and partners. Our goal is to involve each individual reader in a personal way that will create an impact on more than just an emotional level. This positive impact will be the catalyst to building strong ties and relationships in the local community.
