- Get “harassed” by Greenpeace
- Run everywhere to catch the latest events
- Exaggerate details and add fictional context to make our content look somewhat more entertaining/enjoyable
- Shame ourselves and stress and struggle because we cannot keep up with the very loose article deadline
- Sit in the Parksville corridor with our computers and notepaper to keep us company as well as the passing hotel residents going to the pool
- Our breaks are walking to the next committee room to write
- We stand or sit in committee rooms because there’s no other chair or table
- We are happy being here even without chairs and even without talking
- Daily exercise-stairs
Being an IPC delegate is reconciling with each other at the end of the long day sharing each others stories being relatable laughing from exhaustion because we finally communicated from the first time in 48 hours
As other delegates say and observed, “IPC delegates have evolved into a different form of delegate.
