Bring a Homes Not Freeways or similar sign if you want to make the connection between the billions being spent on freeways and the lack of money available for affordable housing.

The Red Tent campaign is also holding a Friday night sleepover http://www.redtents.org/

The Olympic Tent Village also needs your ongoing support. Streams of Justice, the Downtown Eastside Women Centre Power of Women Group, and others successfully set up an
Olympic Homeless Tent Village at 58 West Hastings. 58 West Hastings is a lot owned by the condo developer Concord Pacific and was being used as a VANOC parking lot during the Olympics.

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.

We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
