Right to the City: Rally
for a National Housing Program

February 20, 2010 Rally for a National Housing Program, at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
300,000 Canadians experience homelessness on an annual basis. There are somewhere between 10,500 and 15,000 homeless people in BC. A homeless person dies every 12 days in BC.
Between the early 70's and the early 90's, Canada had one of the best social housing programs in the world. The UN now calls Canada's housing crisis, 'a national emergency.'
This rally was held to pressure the federal government to once again re-establish a national housing program in Canada.
