[van-announce] Forum on Vancouver civic politics - April 9

[Kimball Cariou]

Since the November 2005 civic election in Vancouver, many of the 
progressive actions taken by the previous COPE majorities and their 
allies on City Council, School Board and Park Board are under attack by 
the right-wing NPA. Social housing is being scaled back drastically, 
consultation with citizens is being reduced, the World Peace Forum is 
under constant attack, and a new round of cutbacks is hitting students 
and teachers. This forum will hear from two speakers with wide-ranging 
experience in civic politics, who will present ideas on how to rebuild 
the struggle for progressive civic reform in Vancouver.


Which way?
for progressive civic politics in Vancouver...
