The provincial election this past weekend has brought many changes. You may have heard that our Executive Director Amanda Burrows was elected as the new MLA for Vancouver – Strathcona. We're thrilled for her success and are incredibly proud of her courage and vision to step forward to support this community and represent it in the legislature.
Amanda will be leaving her role as Executive Director effective November 17th and the Board of Directors have begun discussing the process for an executive search. Acting Co-Executive Katie Bricknell Koncan and Rob Vandermey will continue to lead the organization until November 30, as originally planned.
Amanda has proven to be a focused and compassionate leader and steadfast advocate for the Downtown Eastside community during her time at FIRST UNITED, and we have no doubt that she will continue that in the legislature. We wish her well and look forward to seeing her around the neighbourhood. Please join us in congratulating Amanda on her success and giving thanks for all that she has given to FIRST and the DTES!

I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. That’s how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.

#VPDNews: The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is again urging pedestrians and drivers to be careful on the road following the death of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle early Sunday.
This is the second pedestrian struck within just a few days in the city.
The 45-year-old woman was hit by a vehicle as she crossed Main Street at National Avenue just after midnight on Sunday. She was crossing at a marked crosswalk. It is not yet clear if she was crossing with a walk signal at the time.
An SUV travelling southbound struck the woman and she was thrown approximately 30 meters.
Police, paramedics, and fire crews responded. The VPD Accident Investigation Unit was also called in. The victim suffered significant injuries and resuscitation measures were performed, but she was pronounced dead at the scene just before 1:00 a.m. on Sunday. The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with police. Alcohol and substance use are not believed to be factors in the incident.
It was dark and raining heavily at the time. Police are once again calling for additional caution on the roads this season as visibility becomes more challenging for both pedestrians and drivers.
Three days before this incident, a seven-year-old girl was injured when she was hit by a vehicle at East Pender Street and Victoria Drive. She was released from hospital with minor injuries.
Police have not yet requested charges as this latest incident is still under investigation.
