Vancouver Keeps New Supportive Housing on Pause
A motion from Coun. Rebecca Bligh was finally heard in council, after the mayor’s false allegations delayed it.
Over a month after it was derailed by a false claim that a city councillor distributed illegal drugs in public, Vote Vancouver Coun. Rebecca Bligh’s motion to end the pause on new supportive-housing construction in Vancouver was finally heard.
But the motion to overturn a pause on new supportive-housing buildings did not pass, with four ABC Vancouver councillors and Mayor Ken Sim agreeing with the vast majority of the 26 people who spoke against the motion.*
