Back to EpisodesCampbell: Downtown Eastside Needs Smarter Collaboration
Description
Former Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell, now the provinces special adviser on the Downtown Eastsides crises, has extended his contract to improve coordination among groups and make aid more effective. He notes the neighborhoods worsening conditions due to fentanyl, Riverview hospital shutdown, and stalled rental builds. Campbell advocates for safer single-room occupancy buildings and supports the citys pause on new supportive housing in entertainment zones. While some praise his efforts, others criticize lack of visible progress. The focus now is on smarter collaboration among partners to address the Eastsides challenges.
