Great idea Aanya!  One thing to let your clients know is that the law doesn't change until 30 days from today.  Doesn't really make much difference at this point but good to know, all the same.
For anyone confused about advertising, you can't be charged for placing an ad or running a website but, the advertiser or web host can be if the advertising is explicitly for sexual services.  I think it will be unlikely that enforcement will go after advertisers or web hosts in Vancouver but that won't change the behaviour of the advertiser/web host as many will start rejecting sex work ads.
Some groups in Vancouver are pressuring for a meeting with senior officials from the VPD to see if they'll issue a public statement, similar to the one they made when the medical cannabis laws changed, stating that they won't be setting up indoor john stings.  If they are willing to get that message out to clients, that will be a major coup.  We're working hard on this and I'll keep you informed.
Stay strong everyone!

Hello everyone,
I was  thinking it would be beneficial to share ways on how to make the new c-36 laws work for us, and how the new laws are impacting us. Already today I have had 3 people call from their workplace unwilling to share their cell numbers. It kind of creeped me out that the change was so instantaneous. If I may, I would propose a Christmas/Holiday potluck in early December? This will give us a month to gather some Intel and experiences. How is Dec 7th? I could host unless someone else is dying to. Please let me know if this works for everyone.
