Meet this year's emcee, Steve Tornes 
 

Steve is an SFU alumnus with a MA in Urban Studies who has an inexhaustible passion for all things related to urban planning, data, politics, and literature. Throughout his studies, he has focused on how transportation collides with space, equity, and everyday mobilities — with these interests culminating in his thesis on the Vancouver Bike Share Program. Steve is also the creator of the Trip Diary, an original Below the Radar podcast mini-series examining how we move through urban spaces.
