Vote yes on October 17.

The most important thing you can do is show up. On October 17, Vancouver voters will be asked two questions: whether to strengthen bylaws against open-air hard drug use in public spaces, and whether to ask the Province to convert part of the former St. Paul’s Hospital into a secure care facility for people in crisis. A strong yes vote gives City Council a clear mandate to act, and sends a message to the Province that Vancouver needs its fair share of treatment infrastructure.

Spread the word.

Talk to your neighbours, your coworkers, your family. Share this campaign on social media. Many Vancouverites care deeply about this issue but don’t yet know a plebiscite is happening, or what’s actually on the ballot. The more people who understand the two questions before October, the stronger our mandate for change.

Add your voice.

Every conversation helps build momentum. If you’ve witnessed street disorder, worked on the frontlines, or lived through the crisis yourself, consider sharing your story, it’s one of the most powerful ways to help others understand what’s at stake.
