The voices of Vancouver's diverse communities are important & when they are overlooked or silenced, decisions get made in bad faith. It's not FIFA or busy scheduling — that's a diversion.

A quote from Green Party of Vancouver City Councillor Pete Fry that reads, "It’s sort of couched in language around, ‘Well, we’re busy with public hearings and FIFA.’ But I don’t think that’s really accurate. I think this is a victim of chainsaw cuts. We know that this particular department, the clerk’s department, is faced with about $8 million in cuts as a result of the ‘zero means zero’ budget. I think that when we dig a little deeper into this report, it identifies it’s about $160,000 in clerks to support the ten advisory committees that are going to be terminated. And I think that’s really what’s driving this.” over a photo of Vancouver's City Hall 12th Ave. entrance. A call to action with the words, "REGISTER TO SPEAK OUT! Register by 5 pm, Sun., Dec. 8. R1 is first on the agenda for Dec. 9!" over a photo of Vancouver's City Hall 12th Ave. entrance.
