Gold Medal! ⚾️🥇

We’re honoured to share that Play Ball!, our coffee table book created with the Vancouver Canadians, has won Gold in the Canada West Non-Fiction category at the 2026 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs).

Created to celebrate both the Vancouver Canadians and nearly 150 years of baseball across the Pacific Northwest, the book brings together archival photography, memorabilia, historical research, and the stories of the players, fans, and community members who helped shape the game in Vancouver.

The result is more than a team history—it’s a celebration of a beloved Vancouver institution and the enduring role baseball has played in the city’s story.

Congratulations to Jake Kerr, Jeff Mooney, Tom Hawthorn, and everyone who contributed to bringing this story to life. Thank you for trusting us with such an incredible piece of Vancouver history.

✨We’re excited to welcome Paulina Cameron as ECHO’s new Chief Growth Officer!

What happens to a family legacy when the memories that built it begin to fade?

As dementia diagnoses rise, families—especially those with multigenerational businesses—are quietly losing more than stories. They’re losing the clarity, values, and decision‑making logic that once held everything together.
“Memory insurance” is becoming essential: intentionally documenting origin stories, purpose, and lived experience before they disappear. It’s not nostalgia—it’s continuity.

A foreword by Jim Robson (1935-2026)

This week, we mourn the loss of legendary BC Hall of Famer, Jim Robson. In his honour, we give you the foreword he wrote for “Play Ball!” - sharing the beginnings of his broadcasting career and his love for baseball since the age of 16.

Rest in peace, Jim. 🥀 by @echostorytelling

Happy International Education Day! 🎓

Here's a throwback to our school history collaboration with Royal St. George's College. For its 50th anniversary, RSGC wanted more than a timeline. We transformed decades of memories into a heartfelt, scrapbook-style story of values, quirks, and community spirit. A companion to the headmaster’s anniversary video, the book captures the magic of being a Georgian.

Happy holidays, friends!

This year, join us as we donate to @ChildFund, a nonprofit that helps children thrive in spite of the toughest challenges in the world. Because even in the darkest times, children have a right to safety, the right to a childhood. As the great activist Marian Wright Edelman said, “If we don’t stand up for children, then we don’t stand for much.”

With wishes for peace, and gratitude for the special role you have played in our story,

The ECHO Team

2007 was a big year for Purdys Chocolates.

To celebrate 100 years of business, the company got to work on all manner of centennial frolic. We were here for it:

✨A huge gala was organized, with guests including the Mayor of Vancouver and a performance by singer-songwriter Jann Arden.
✨An exhibition called “The Story of Chocolate” was held at Science World.
✨Commemorative tins, mugs and a collector’s envelope from Canada Post were commissioned.
✨An iconic Coat of Arms was designed, which is now used in storefronts and packaging.
✨Mr. Purdy’s original 1907 vanilla caramel (a long-time signature favourite) got a modern twist by adding a sprinkling of Himalayan Pink Salt, becoming an instant bestseller.
✨We documented Purdy’s 100-year journey in “Chocolate of Choice”
✨ We also created “The Chocolatier’s Apprentice”, a children’s book to support the national literacy initiative, Raise-a-Reader.
