“It doesn’t have to be this way.” Housing those experiencing homelessness reduces ER visits and hospitalizations.
But even more important than the economic argument for housing justice is the moral one.
Three medical students chime in on the crisis.

According to @BCCDC statistics, as many as 30% of people suffering fatal overdoses in BC were unstably housed. #HousingIsHealth: as we enter the 7th year of BC’s toxic drugs crisis, it is crucial that the BC government take bold action to address the ongoing #housingcrisis.

2020 has certainly been a rollercoaster, but that doesn’t erase the honour of having the opportunity to represent Canada at the Olympics. Looking forward to a time where communities can come together through sport after this period of unrest and uncertainty 🇨🇦
It has just been officially announced that my amazing sister @formacannie will be representing Canada at the postponed 2020 Olympics! This year was a strange one to qualify for the Olympics, but Annie never does things the easy way. I'm so proud of her!!
