Who’s up and down? Who’s getting attention, and who’s doing it in the wrong way? Who’s making an impact on city hall?
Our new regular series looks at the key people and players who we think are trending higher or trending lower. It’s not scientific (yet) and we hope to include more key people’s opinions in future ones. For now, it’s just my thoughts.
Who’s up
👍 Ravi Khalon and the provincial government
Truly the biggest winner since we last did this series is the provincial government’s housing strategy, led by the Minister of Housing Ravi Kahlon.
Help us build the future of hyper-local news in Vancouver
If you've read this far, you probably get something out of Vancity Lookout — and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm Geoff, the founder. Here's the honest version of how this works: every story you read here is reported by a small team and funded almost entirely by the few hundred Vancouver readers who've decided this kind of journalism is worth paying for. No hedge fund owners. No clickbait quotas.
Just neighbourhood reporting that takes time to do properly — the VPD budget, the Broadway Plan, the Downtown Eastside, city hall on the days nobody else shows up.
If you want to read more of this, and you can afford it, the most useful thing you can do is become a member. It's how the next story gets written
Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Vancouver.
