Living in Vancouver – you have to expect a little rain here and there and local Social Media users often flood the streams of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with photo’s and hashtags to do with whatever weather system has blown our way.
Whether it be fogcouver or raincouver, it seems we’re obsessed with our weather, so come rain, sun or snow – whatever the weather, it’s all over the news…whether we like it or not!

The process involved in the manufacturing of Rite in the Rain paper was designed to have an ultra-low impact on the environment. The water based coating process emits only steam and all mill off-cuts are recycled back into the paper-manufacturing stream. Made from renewable wood fiber, Rite in the Rain is totally recyclable as plain paper. All printing plates and processing liquids are recycled. 100% of printing inks are soy based. Our Polydura cover material contains post-consumer recycled material. The modern facility and equipment are designed to be energy efficient. |

Rite in the Rain 20 & 32 lb. papers meet the archival criteria laid out by ANSI/NISO Z39.48-1992 (R2002). So… not only will it survive the elements, it will survive the attic! All of our books and copier papers are made from these grades. |
PERFECT FOR STUDENTS
Newcomers to Vancouver will no doubt be aware of the attractive – if rainy climate on offer before semester starts and it’s our spectacular seasons that makes Metro Vancouver such a great place to live. Alumni like this UBC blogger offer advice on what type of backpack to buy…
“…Don’t buy a canvas backpack. It will get soaked, and the rain will ruin all your meticulously copied lecture notes. Try and get one that’s somewhat water-resistant, and keep your important papers in a plastic folder to avoid runny ink and disintegrated sheets of lined paper..” How to survive your first term in Raincouver
