The Development Permit Board approved 105 Keefer
We won't give up, because the heart speaks louder than money.
The Development Permit Board approved 105 Keefer with conditions. We’re deeply disappointed and saddened at the City’s decision.
After three hearings, hundreds of hours of speeches, and countless rejections from the community and the City for almost a decade, the City decided to be on the wrong side of history, and sided with the gentrifier billionaire developer instead of working for its citizens.
But, we’re not going to give up. As long as Beedie hasn’t built 105 Keefer yet, there’s still hope.
Here’s how you can help right now:
Email Mayor and Council, Premier Eby and the BC Housing Minister Khalon to immediately acquire 105 Keefer from Beedie.
If the button doesn’t work, see the Email Instructions below.
Sign a 105 Keefer petition in solidarity with low-income residents of Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside that will be delivered to multiple levels of government.
Donate funds for future mobilizations against Beedie
Thanks to your countless letters, incredible speeches, invaluable donations, and unwavering support over the years. It took all of your effort to push back. We’ve pushed back Beedie this far, and we can continue to push back together because the heart speaks louder than money. 講心不講金.
