Join the Photo Petition at Pride Tomorrow (Saturday)!
Haven't signed yourself on our photo petition yet? Meet us tomorrow on Saturday August 16th at New West Pride just inside the Anvil Center.
We'll be there from 3pm to 8pm.
After two successful votes at New West City Council, we only have one left before the new Tenant Assistance Policy is officially on the books for all renters living in purpose-built rental buildings in New West.
Want to ensure every renter who loses their home to redevelopment is guaranteed a new apartment at the same rent? Join us at one of the dates below and sign the photo petition to send a strong message to this and any future council.
- Saturday August 16th (3pm to 8pm): At New West Pride outside the Anvil Center.
- Thursday August 21st (5:30pm to 7pm): By Columbia SkyTrain at Carnarvon and 4th Street
- August 23rd (2pm to 5pm): At our Community Party at Holy Trinity Cathedral (514 Carnarvon Street) featuring free food, trivia, and more!
If you're living in downtown New West, pressure to develop is rising as the province's Transit Oriented Development policies have rezoned these areas for larger towers. A sale and change in ownership could happen faster than you think. And even if you don't live downtown, if you plan on staying in the community long-term, there's no telling what the future of your apartment complex may look like. Renters don't leave with equity when their homes are sold off for development. Protect your home and the people in your community.
