633 MAIN CONDO TOWER REZONING HEARING
Wednesday February 27
6pm
Vancouver City Hall

One week after the rezoning hearing for 611 Main there is another hearing
for another major 15-storey condo tower right next door. The gentrification
threat is the same as with 611 Main but this project does not include any
social housing at all. If all these condos are approved and built the rate
of condo to social housing development will be 51 to 1. City policy says
that condos and social housing should be built at a similar pace.

SOCIAL HOUSING NOW! UNITED WE STAND!

Saturday March 2, 2013
Noon - 1pm
Vancouver Art Gallery, Robson Street
(750 Hornby St. Vancouver)

Taking place on unceded Coast Salish Territory: the traditional territory
of the Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueum, and Skwxwú7mesh/Squamish nations.

On Saturday March 2, the Social Housing Coalition of BC will STAND united
in Vancouver and demand that social housing be a central issue in the
coming BC provincial election. The rally will gather all the STANDs and
their supporters from across Metro Vancouver as a sign of unity and support
for a comprehensive solution to BC’s housing crisis. Grab your “Social
Housing Now” banners, come show your support and join the rally on the
Robson Street side of the Vancouver Art Gallery!

Shortly after noon, the rally will take to the streets and march through
downtown. This united, roving STAND for Social Housing will end at 1pm at
the Vancouver Public Library (350 W Georgia St). The rally and march will
be the second major mobilization of the social housing campaign to change
the discussion about the housing crisis in BC and influence the platforms
of the major parties running for the election in May.

Come to get involved in the fight for social housing.

Start and end locations of the event are close to mass transit (Skytrain
stations and important bus routes).

Organized by Social Housing Coalition BC
