February 14, 2010
Monday morning, the joint RCMP-VPD Integrated Security Unit (“ISU”) agreed to allow the Red Tent campaign to drop a 45’ banner off the Cambie Street Bridge. The banner reads “HOMES FOR ALL” and is intended to draw attention to the homelessness crisis in Canada and the need for the federal government to implement a funded national housing strategy.
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.”
