Today, Chinese seniors fought their hearts out outside city hall to stop luxury condos from being developed at #105keefer . Meanwhile, while the most divisive gentrification project in Vancouver moves forward, mayor Mayor Ken Sim decided to spend his day with BC Lions cheerleaders.
Hundreds came out to testify on behalf of Vancouver’s Chinatown and the #105keefer decision has been postponed until June 26.
