No Vacancy: Vancouver’s Housing Crisis


Originally broadcast as part of a local investigative television series focusing on urban accessibility and affordability, No Vacancy: Vancouver’s Housing Crisis takes an in-depth look at Metro Vancouver's acute housing shortage.

Hosted by Grant Hardy, the program shines a spotlight on how historically low vacancy rates and rising market rents impact vulnerable populations—particularly residents living with disabilities. Through interviews with municipal planners, advocates, and architects, the film examines the structural drivers of the housing crisis while showcasing emerging non-profit initiatives and universal design solutions aimed at building a more inclusive community.

Join us for a community film screening and post-film discussion exploring one of the most pressing social justice issues in our region.


 

 

 

 

Have you always dreamed of writing a book?

Maybe it’s a memoir. Your family stories. A novel. A children’s book. Or the wisdom and expertise you’ve gathered through a lifetime of living and working.

I’m looking for writers and storytellers right here in White Rock + Surrey.

Through The Art of Storytelling, we’re growing opportunities to gather, write and bring our stories into the world, from immersive workshops to ongoing Writers Circles and author development.

Right now, there may also be room for a small number of local writers to join our six-month Writers Circle beginning October 14, gathering online and, with enough local interest, in community here too.

Whether you’re ready now or simply thinking, “One day, I’m going to write that book,” I’d love to hear from you.

Tell me a little about the story stirring within you and whether you’re interested now or in the future:
