GVAT Homes For All Assembly Oct 2nd 2022
Channel: Greater Victoria Acting Together
Date: 2022-11-06

Over 300 people attended GVAT’s Homes For All Community Assembly on Sunday October 2nd.  This was our first in-person assembly since the pandemic, and we can say with confidence that it was a success! 

Most importantly for making progress on those solutions, all leading candidates for mayor in Saanich, Victoria and Esquimalt showed up, agreed to support the policy platform and to meet with GVAT within 100 days if elected! In fact, a jovial "competition" emerged for how soon they'd meet with GVAT. That is a hopeful sign that they see GVAT's power to impact change and mobilise public support. 

Many other candidates - mayoral and council - publicly shared our event and their support for our municipal policy platform. This all points to a massive success and a great mandate to build on for future actions to ensure these policies are adopted at council tables across the region.
