Long-term Vancouver residents (myself included) need to acknowledge that cities are living, breathing, and EVOLVING entities. Nostalgia for how things used to be does not win over people's right to housing and community.

Four amazing leaders “nerding out” together on housing solutions. We love to see it! #HousingCentral @MPfoh @thomjarmstrong @jfatkey @Dave_Eby

Great support for Premier @Dave_Eby’s housing plans here at #HousingCentral. I’m particularly glad to hear him talking about acquiring existing affordable market housing, and recognizing the huge role of the community housing sector in building the housing we need. #VanPoli

It feels so good to be surrounded by 1,500 of my peers in the community housing sector again at #HousingCentral 2022

Managing to squeeze in some sessions at the @BCNPHA conference today and pleased to catch updates from @Vancity & @catalyst_cds - appreciate their out of the box approaches to the #HousingCrisis #HousingCentral

Mind-blowing! That's how I describe #housingcentral Mid-Day Day 2 plenary with Dr. Ameil Joseph and Gabriel Peters on designing for discrimination to a future of building justice. It's another reminder that we still have so much to learn #lifelonglearning

It's not too late to send in comments or sign up to speak in support of the @CityofVancouver Streamlining Rental initiative. This policy would help create the bare minimum conditions to support secured market or below-market rental in more areas shapeyourcity.ca/rental-rz

"Boyle’s motion, by providing “density bonuses” only to non-profits, is a way of streaming land value increases that would otherwise go into the pockets of speculators, into social benefit." - @pmcondon2 #vanpoli #everyneighbourhoodforeveryone thetyee.ca/Analysis/2021/…

We had a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the occupancy of Emmaus Place in Langley, a partnership with the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church Housing Society. Featuring 82 rental homes - 70 dedicated for seniors and 12 stacked apartments for families rentemmausplace.ca

We use a 'tenant-informed design' feedback loop to ensure our buildings are aesthetically beautiful AND practically functional

@wazaroff @soyabeanlc @BrightsideHomes @morethanaroof @robynsnestt Thank you!

@pfbvan Hi there, do you have any copies of the Jade Peony by Wayson Choy? Thx :)

Really looking forward to participating in this @PIBC_SouthCoast Emergence Panel tonight. I hope to see some of you online soon!

The failed Little Mountain project is the perfect example of why we must “keep community lands in community hands.” It should have been developed/owned/operated by a non-profit & could have been housing ppl affordably for over a decade already. Shame. bc.ctvnews.ca/it-stinks-vanc…

The last residential school in Canada was closed in 1996. On #OrangeShirtDay, we are thinking back to this important TEDx talk by @Skusgluums on the history and legacy of trauma they left behind. ted.com/talks/ginger_g…

Same.
