The following is an open letter about the "Freedom Rally" and "Freedom Convoy" coming to Vancouver on October 17/18. See below for list of endorsers. 

At the October 8 special meeting of Vancouver City Council, an important motion proposing bold action for unsheltered Vancouver residents will be voted on. 

On October 6, Vancouver City Council will debate a motion tabled by Mayor Kennedy Stewart and titled "Protecting Tenants - Taking Action Against Renovictions".

The VDLC is calling on the City of Vancouver to legislate rents tied to SRO units, not to tenants. This policy, also known as vacancy control, will help to save crucially needed affordable housing spaces for those who may otherwise face homelessness. 

The VDLC endorses the open letter "Time to Fundamentally Reassess Canadian Foreign Policy" issued by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute. 

In Canada, we’ve weathered the pandemic by sticking together and supporting each other.
