Harm Reduction Victoria, the Action Committee of People with
Disabilities, the Committee to End Homelessness, the Society of Living
Intravenous Drug Users, the Vancouver Island Public Interest Research
Group and the Victoria Coalition Against Poverty are united and
speaking out at City Hall to show our opposition to the proposed
amendment to the Streets and Traffic Bylaw 'To Better Regulate
Boulevards and Medians.'
This law would make it illegal to sleep on boulevards such as the
green at Pandora Ave. It has become obvious that the intent behind
this proposed amendment is to further criminalize poverty and
homelessness in our city.
