love this video, really powerful with the slides and wendy's audio. great work!

i have heard wendy recite those stats for years, i look forward to the day when she will be able to lean some new stats, ones that reflect a positive change, ones that reflects a government that adequately address the needs of our community. i am hopeful one day i will get to hear that audio with slides of social housing attached.

i want to see the papers put out a full weeks report on our success as a community and as a province to combat poverty, create sustainable opportunities for everyone to be housed, for everyone to be able to receive a reasonable living wage and for vancouver to be the envy of cities in terms of our ability to solve homelessness. that's the video i want to see.
