History Catalogue
A list of past initiatives through Novus.
- 01
Novus Podcast
Led by Sav & Alexander, they were interested in learning more in depth about the community members of Novus. As Sav left for SF, the podcast came to a halt.
- 02
Novus Socials
Pop-up style events usually led and supported by a wide variety of people. The first one was organized by Leejoo, where he met Ardelis and Samim at the beach. Samim organized and sponsored our #2 Social, and most recently we had our Novus 1-Year Celebration with the help of Chris. In the past we've also had closed dinners amongst a smaller group of Novus folks.
- 03
Novus Contributor Appreciation Dinner
This is one of the events that many are not aware of — our appreciation dinners. To date, we've hosted two Novus dinners for our contributors. We had a lot of great conversations about the Vancouver ecosystem here.
- 04
Novus × Praxis Afterparty
Manveer and I got $$ to organize a Praxis event. We used a part of it to host an afterparty with some Novus folks.
- 05
Novus Salon
Inspired by Steven's French Salons, we hosted our own version on the topic of incentivizing innovation in cities, states, and countries. In early modern France, salons became a center of intellectual conversation on social issues, and significantly impacted the cultural and political landscape. We're bringing it back in Novus fashion.
- 06
Novus in Toronto (Aceocial Collaboration)
We actually had a lot of interest from other cities to host Novus, including New York and Toronto. The one that actually came to fruition was one hosted by Aceocial, our informal sister org.
- 07
Festive Celebrations
We've tested festive Novus events with little luck — but it could be a great way to continue to engage our community in fun and festive ways.

Novus Weekday Coworking
Run informally by hotseat users at Northeastern University — Vancouver, through the Telegram group chat.
