@Hutchyman Next door actually! A major drug bust next door isn’t a reason to put an OPS here. It’s a reason to question why anyone thinks this is the right location.
If this isn’t housing for seniors, why is @seniorsupportbc helping fund it? What tangible benefit are seniors receiving from that funding, particularly at a property that was recently the site of a major drug bust?

@oddfellowsent@AmirsDoingItAll@KarmSumal@VancouverPD If it’s truly a healthcare service, it belongs in a healthcare facility. A major drug bust next door isn’t an argument for putting an OPS here. It’s an argument for why this is the wrong place for recovery and the wrong place for a residential neighbourhood.
@Vote4ABC@PeterMeiszner A healthcare service is supposed to improve health + safety. After a significant drug bust at the next doo Murray Hotel, how can @Josie_Osborne@Dave_Eby and @VCHhealthcare still defend this location? Choosing to proceed despite that raises serious questions about their judgment
A major drug bust next door, yet we’re supposed to believe this is the ideal location for an overdose prevention site? How does placing a healthcare service beside a property linked to drug trafficking make sense? @Josie_Osborne@VCHhealthcare@Dave_Eby
#VPDNews: Vancouver Police have arrested three men and seized drugs with an estimated street value of $86,000, along with $1,300 in cash, following an investigation in downtown Vancouver.
VPD patrol officers initiated “Project Atlas” earlier this month after observing suspicious activity at the Murray Hotel at 1117 Hornby St.
Officers executed a search warrant and seized:
344 grams of fentanyl
336 grams of cocaine
75 grams of methamphetamine
Imitation firearm
Various edged weapons
The following three men were arrested, transported to jail, and released on an undertaking with an upcoming court date:
A 37-year-old man from Surrey was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking.
A 42-year-old man from Ontario was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking and obstructing a peace officer.
A 46-year-old man from Vancouver was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking.
"Project Atlas highlights the value of proactive policing from our officers. Their work resulted in the seizure of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine, helping to protect our community from the harms associated with drug trafficking." says Inspector Erin Roulston.
The investigation is ongoing.

@Geronimo987654@Josie_Osborne@Dave_Eby@terryyungyvr They seem determined to stick to the agenda they’ve already decided on, regardless of what residents have experienced or continue to report.

First it’s an SRO. If it attracts drug dealers and buyers, @Josie_Osborne + @VCHhealthcare will say an overdose prevention site is needed because “that’s where the users are.”
It’s a model that risks creating the conditions used to justify the next step.

Every day work continues at 900 Helmcken during the so-called pause erodes public trust. If community input is genuinely being considered, the project shouldn’t appear to be progressing as though the outcome is already decided. @Josie_Osborne@Dave_Eby@terryyungyvr
@Geronimo987654@Josie_Osborne@Dave_Eby@terryyungyvr Yes, this will be the fourth time they have shuffled the site, sane operator with in the same few blocks…we know 👀 That’s why this neigbourhoid is opposed
