Homes for All Leafleting/Petition at Mount Pleasant Community Centre and Connect the Dots Event

The housing crisis is hitting people in Canada hard. On the campaign trail, Carney promised to tackle housing unaffordability by creating an entity called Build Canada Homes (BCH) — a new Crown Corporation that would “act as a developer to build affordable housing at scale.” 

If we want to tackle the housing crisis, we need to start by demanding BCH’s mandate expand to ensure affordability is the #1 priority — and that people, not corporate developers, are the first to benefit.

On Wednesday, September 3rd, from 5pm till 8 pm, we will be leafleting and getting petition signatures at the Mount Pleasant Community Centre and then joining the Connect the Dots event close by in Jonathan Rogers Park, 110 West 7th Avenue Vancouver, to do the same: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/connect-the-dots-vancouver-tickets-1471437060859.
