City of Vancouver ends $320,000 Block Stewardship contract awarded to VANDU
VANDU told Global News it was disappointed but not surprised the funding was cut because the group had reported back to the city, and was honest about its activities.
When asked how the money was spent, Tao said it was primarily going to the block leaders and residents involved in the dignified work programs plus “staffing costs for essentially doubling, tripling our capacity here at VANDU.”Former Vancouver city councillor George Affleck said keeping the streets clean should be a priority and focus for the city’s engineering department, and doesn’t believe social grants should be given out for street cleaning.
“It could be deadly to the occupants that are in the tent, it could be devastating and potentially deadly to the occupants in buildings,” Chief Fry told Global News.
