This is your chance to help determine which issues we will focus on in our
next project: 
~~PRACTICING DEMOCRACY~~    It will take two minutes to complete.


Apologies to those outside Vancouver, but this form must be filled out by
*** CITY OF VANCOUVER RESIDENTS ONLY***



On February 27, 2003 Vancouver City Council unanimously passed a motion
confirming their participation in Practicing Democracy, a Legislative
Theatre project that will be in performance March of 2004. Headlines Theatre
will work with people in the effected communities (see below) to create
interactive Forum plays on two topics. The audience interventions in the
theatre events will form the basis of a report back to City Council that
suggests new or revised law on the issues under discussion.

human mechanisms necessary to help make this work?

services. What can the City do?
