@nathancullen Hi Nathan - I'm trying to reach you with an invitation. Would you be able to DM me on here? Much appreciated!

Thanks @bkclifford 🙌

When we say that investments into affordable housing since 2018 are historic, this is what we’re talking about.

Thanks to everyone who has made a donation, and to everyone who helped to promote.

We've reached the $1275 mark and we'd love to add to that total to provide just a bit more support to the 12 residents who have been impacted by fire.

The next time someone asks why we can’t have more detox beds and housing, we can just tell them:

The original application submitted under the outdated 2014 Vancouver Building Bylaw (VBBL), which was updated in 2019. Application must be updated to meet the 2019 VBBL.

Obvi.

This is maddening. The proposed detox centre at Clark Drive East 1st Ave is still stuck in Vancouver permit limbo.
Vancouver is not a serious city.

@CWhitzman @NicoleChaland @leilanifarha @MPfoh Update: I tried creating an account last night but need a code and am on a wait list. Weird, but what isn’t these days.
