East Van municipal spectator.
I'd love to see something like this on the Vancouver side as well. Coal Harbour could rival North Van's shipyards if we wanted it to

Their report leads with "West Vancouver has had a well-deserved reputation as an affluent enclave resistant to

I am hopeful this puts some serious pressure on @eby-david.bsky.social and @ravikahlon.bsky.social to start stepping up and requiring other municipalities step up and provide housing options.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.

Science works, y'all.

Other municipalities need to step up. It's time to end kettling every person vulnerable to homelessness or with a monkey on their back to Vancouver.

Unsurprisingly none of the candidates running in the Cloverdale-Langley byelection are prioritizing decrim or homelessness. Gotta keep those issues contained to Vancouver.
