This hearing has been reconvened several times as over two hundred citizens signed up to speak. For more details on writing to mayorandcouncil@vancouver.ca before the hearing, please see the details in my discussion section. Or you can sign the petition at http://vancouvernotvegas.ca/. I have attended two hearings so far and was impressed by the professionalism of our councilors and mayor. Let your children see what democracy can look like. Compare City Hall with Parliament Hill. Please write now. Don't let Vancouver become a Pottersville.

Comment by D King on April 8, 2011 at 4:22pm Village Vancouver has over 1000 members. I wish each one would write council so that the "no" letters would outnumber the "yes" letters. Surveys show that the public is against the casino, but the "yes" side is more concentrated.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
