Upcoming Events
Council Speech Writing Workshops
Monday February 24th, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm @Carnegie Community Centre 3rd floor classroom
One of the few ways that we can make sure ordinary people’s voices are heard is to speak directly to city council at a public meeting. The next big opportunity is on February 26th for Ken Sim’s motion that will specify what he meant when he said he’d stop net new supportive housing development, integrate the DTES into the rest of the city, and crack down on crime.
If you want to understand his motion and prepare your own response to share at city council with us, we can help! We’ll have 4 workshops running at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm to get people feeling confident about using their voice to hold these politicians accountable to our communities. RSVP if you can come!
Carnegie Housing Action Lunch
Fridays at noon
@Carnegie Community Centre 3rd floor classroom
This is a weekly meeting hosted for residents of the DTES who are driven to fight for a compassionate, community-centred approach to ending houselessness in the DTES. We will talk about and plan actions to educate and agitate for changes in the housing system that prioritize good housing for those who are economically excluded in society, as well as identify emerging government policies that may interfere with that goal. If you have any questions, contact us via our email.
