[RELEASE] Nine City Councils are calling on the BC gov't to recognize housing as a human right. Housing is recognized as a human right at the federal level in Canada. It's time our provincial government steps up to make the same commitment, in policy and practice. #bcpoli

We’re disappointed there’s once again no increase for assistance or disability rates in #BCBudget2025. Without at least indexing rates to inflation, the most economically vulnerable people in our province will not be able to meet their needs.

When MLAs swing by the office, we make sure to get a word in!. We presented @s_malcolmson @terryyungyvr @NdpJoan a stack of postcards signed by people in BC, calling for serious investment in public transit. We want to see cross-ministry collab for the good of BC. #bcpoli

Whether you’ve been renting for one, five, or 25 years, the profit-driven rental housing market, outdated residential tenancy policies, and loopholes in current housing legislation place tenants at the mercy of landlords. Tenants in BC deserve safe and reliable housing. #bcpoli.
A provincial call to action on International Tenants' Rights Day. Guest opinion from @TRAC_BC and @PovReductionBC: Government must, at minimum, take the profit out of eviction.
