Title: Tenants rally April 2nd
Post by: romank on March 29, 2024, 10:17:06 am
"No Demovictions" has apparently called a rally in front of City Hall at noon on Tuesday April 2, 2024

Short notice ahead of a scheduled April 5th meeting of the Planning and Housing committee of city council

ND suggests writing letters and having tenants showing up in person or otherwise getting intervenor status and so on - I’m paraphrasing.

If you missed it a couple of M.P.P.'s showed up at the rally esp. Andrea Hazell who mentioned her proposed rent cap (I am paraphrasing - rather than take my word for it a better plan is to look her up at https://andreahazell.onmpp.ca/mpp-hazell-debates-her-bill-the-relief-for-renters-act/ (https://andreahazell.onmpp.ca/mpp-hazell-debates-her-bill-the-relief-for-renters-act/))

Again I'm paraphasing so check what other people had to say but the general consensus ahead of Friday's housing committee meeting is that two salaried bureaucrats are impacting the lives of thousands of residents

CP24 broadcast a few minutes of coverage on their 5 p.m. news segment. Link is to a short, crude video clip. I have more, original video on file
