During our stay in Vancouver we were given the opportunity to do something that may ‘impact’ the city. As a group we decided it would be beneficial to have conversations with people of the East Hastings area and perhaps gain some understanding of their city and what it is to them. With the 2010 Olympic games coming up we wanted to know how that would affect Vancouver’s homeless population, which was obviously present. We wanted to give the homeless a voice as they rarely get a chance to be heard. We decided to create a ‘wordwall’, it consisted of Bristol boards and whatever suggestions, comments, concerns… basically anything the people of the streets wanted people to know about the area. We met a lot of people who were genuinely concerned for their city and what will happen in the future. We plan on taking their hand written words and sending them to the city’s MP.
