[Dnfd_announce] "Woodward's East" condos rezoning decision Tuesday at City Hall

[Ivan Drury]

The public hearing for the proposed condo project at 955 E Hastings
finished last week. Nearly forty people came out and spoke about the
project, the majority were low-income residents and their supporters
speaking against the project. You can watch the amazing speeches of these
community leaders through the city website here:

The council decision about the project was put off until this week, Tuesday
October 30 at City Hall. The meeting starts at 9:30am but there is one
discussion point on ahead of the decision, listed under "unfinished
business", so we don't know what time the decision might be made.

Downtown Eastside residents will be meeting in front of Carnegie Centre at
9am sharp to go up to city hall together and be present for this decision
which, no matter which way it goes, will play a central role in shaping the
future of the community. Everyone who opposes this mega project is welcome
to come join us.
