Right: Homes For All banner hangs from Cambie Bridge February 15.
February 16 - Yesterday, Pivot Legal Society's Red Tent Campaigners dropped a 45’ banner off the Cambie Street Bridge.
The banner declaring "HOMES FOR ALL" was intended to draw attention to the homeless crisis in Canada and the need for the federal government to implement a funded national housing strategy.
Permission to drop the banner was given by the joint RCMP-VPD Integrated Security Unit ("ISU").
According to Pivot Legal Executive Director, John Richardson, "The fact that the police are allowing this message to get out is a message in itself. Every officer who walked a beat knows firsthand the challenge of homelessness. This is a problem everyone wants to have solved."
