The long promised Olympic Village Elementary School is finally on its way to becoming a reality. With space for 630 students, it’s 5 meters taller than first planned, meaning construction can only start after a lengthy rezoning review, & city council’s approval #Vancouver #OurVSB

People need belongings to survive: shelter, medical goods, clothing, food. We’re suing the City of Vancouver because their cruel bylaws violate the right to life, liberty, and personal security. These new restrictions are dehumanizing and discriminatory. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/05/16/v...
