Calling All Renters. Monday, June 6th

6/19/2016

 
  • Worried about rent increases and renovictions? 
  • Nowhere to move because everything has got so expensive? 

The City of Vancouver will release a new neighbourhood plan for Grandview-Woodland this summer or fall. The plan will likely bring even more development and pressure on rent. Join us to talk with activists from neighbourhoods that have already been through the planning process and are fighting for the rights of renters. Find out about their struggles, the pressures on Co-ops, and policies in Vancouver that affect renters. Let's talk about what we can do to make secure and stable rental homes in Grandview-Woodland.

June 6, 2016 (Monday)
7 to 9pm

Canuck Family Education Centre
1655 William Street, entrance off Grandview Park
Speakers TBA
