Event Description
This hearing has been reconvened several times as over two hundred citizens signed up to speak. For more details on writing to mayorandcouncil@vancouver.ca before the hearing, please see the details in my discussion section. Or you can sign the petition at http://vancouvernotvegas.ca/. I have attended two hearings so far and was impressed by the professionalism of our councilors and mayor. Let your children see what democracy can look like. Compare City Hall with Parliament Hill. Please write now. Don't let Vancouver become a Pottersville.

Village Vancouver has over 1000 members. I wish each one would write council so that the "no" letters would outnumber the "yes" letters. Surveys show that the public is against the casino, but the "yes" side is more concentrated.
