What if we prioritized public toilets & drop-in spaces over costly decampments, sweeps & street flushing? My May 21 resolution asks Council to rethink our approach to street disorder, with drop-ins and public toilets. #VanPoli 🧵 1/6

“Most ridings in the City of #Vancouver are expected to support the #BCNDP in the upcoming #bcelection, but two tight races with recently rejigged boundaries could go either way: Vancouver-#Yaletown and Vancouver-#Langara.”

You don’t need a home to vote. If you’re experiencing homelessness you can use the address of a shelter, hostel or similar place that provides food, lodging or other social services. #bcpoli

Another OIC update!

Order in Council 299 added more professionals to the mental health presumption under Workers Compensation Act.

This recognizes the impact that these challenging (and critical) jobs can have on workers and makes it easier to access supports.

Sad day for New Democrats. Bob was a legend. He was always thinking 20 yrs ahead and had a no nonsense approach which I appreciated. Sending love to his family and friend🙏🏾❤️

Plans for a new community building with 100s of homes, and health care, for people in the DTES are moving ahead! 🙏🏽 to @VCHhealthcare and 625 Powell St. Foundation for working with us to create this needed community cornerstone!

Still overwhelmed at being presented @BCCSU's Bud Osborn Award for Knowledge Translation by @guyfelicella last Friday. Bud was a mentor to many. His poetry revealed deeper truths of the drug war. That's what we seek at @crackdownpod & @vandupeople.

Hope to Health provides people with comprehensive, wraparound services, including mental-health support, addiction treatment and preventative care. This helps people stabilize and improve their lives. 2/2

It can be difficult to find a pathway to hope and to healing, especially for vulnerable people who may not have a support system. That's why we’re taking action so more people in the Downtown Eastside can receive compassionate care that addresses their needs holistically. 1/2

Today, thanks to the @NDP and thanks to labour activists across Canada, federal anti-scab legislation passed the House of Commons. An incredible testament to what can happen when we put the rights of workers front and centre in Parliament. https://t.co/jTofeQZPsR

Massive cavities, mouthfuls of broken teeth, bleeding gums and abscesses.
There are just some of the serious dental issues Dr. Melvin Lee has treated in less than two weeks of providing care under Canada's new public dental insurance plan. https://t.co/YbawMCa74V .

[Ravi Kahlon @KahlonRav]

We’re acting to stabilize rents & reduce displacement of vulnerable tenants who live in SRO buildings in the Downtown Eastside.

As we work to phase out SROs & provide more dignified housing we can’t risk losing this current affordable housing supply.

Huge news. Province intros sro vacancy control. Could save 1500 Sro units from massive rent increases. Thanks to sro collaborative for their work on this. #vanpoli
