This has been bothering me for a while now and I want to ask the opinion of some others attending General Council 40 in Kelowna.
Over the past few years (having been accelerated in the past few months), the Vancouver Olympics have overtaken the city of Vancouver and the province of BC (and much of the rest of Canada, in the form of advertising campaigns, etc.). But while most Canadians are reveling in the attention the world will soon focus on our country, injustice and discrimination and racism bubble just beneath the surface.
I was blown away by this article. In short, four students at the Emily Carr Institute for Art & Design in Vancouver designed low-cost housing for the homeless. They cost under $1500 each, and were made to be used anywhere in the province.
I encourage you to read the rest of the article, it will make your heart grow two sizes bigger and fill your spirit with hope.
