If you really care about housing issues, a wonderful way to get involved is to join local advocacy groups like @vaneighbours. They're hosting an event this Saturday! https://t.co/4QIn4qq2wQ

With Vancouver's population projected to continue growing over future decades, we need to make sure VSB enrolment increases, rather than declines, to accomodate residents.
Read Russil Wvong's letter to VSB trustees on growth projections and its effects on housing:

[Russil Wvong @russilwvong]
