Olympic Tent Village

On February 15, downtown eastside residents and housing activists established a tent village at 58 West Hastings Street – a Concord Pacific property currently being leased by VANOC for use as a parking lot.

No more empty talk, no more empty lots

Instead of empty lots and empty promises, the Rally for Housing and the Olympic Tent Village are calling for:
1. real action to end homelessness now
2. end to condo development and displacement in the downtown eastside
3. end to discriminatory ticketing, police harassment and all forms of the criminalization of poverty

The rally was organized by the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre Power of Women Group. For more information, including more video footage, check out the tent village webpage.
