The Honourable Ravi Kahlon Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs Parliament Buildings, Victoria, BC VBV IX4 Via emall:
Dear Minister Erskine-Smith and Minister Kahlon,
Open Letter I.e: Fundinf! for renewal of the Balmoral and Ref!ent sites I write You today with regard to concerns rai5ed by Vancouver East community members who seek your commitment to act quickly and cost-share the lmmediate construction of safe social houslng that rents at shelter rate in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) at the Balmoral Hc)tel site, 159 East Hastings Street, and the Regent Hotel,160 East Hastings Street. As you likely know, by way of background, these buildings have been shut atad vacant for years. The City of Vancc)ijver issued an order to evacuate the Balmoral Hotel in 2017 due to fire safety and structural cc}ncerns that made the building unacceptable for habitation. The City has owned
the property since late 2020 when it reached a settlement with the owner to expropriate the building. City officials conducted studies of the building and determined in 2022 that the
building posed Imminent threats to safety and ordered that it be demolished; community engagement and abatement work followed, and in July 2024, the hotel demolitic}n was completed. Recent Tjap repc]rts advise that the City "is finalizing lease terms with BC Housing to redevelop the site and adjacent city-c]wned sites Into social housing" with
"work is antici
ated to be
2Q2Z, subject to enterlng the necessary partnership agreements with BC Housing and regulatory approvals."
The Clty of Vancouver also issued an order to cease occupancy of the Regent Hotel, as of June 28, 2018, due to the unacceptable conditions of the building, and the City has owned the
Regent since December 2020 when lt reached a settlement with the owners to expropriate the property, Since then, the Regent has remamed vacant,I understand that some planning has been underway to bring the building up to code sufficient to be safe for occupancy. Recent fle!A±± reports say that in August 2023 BC Housing began site remediation "with plans to replace the SF{O units with updated self-contained suites", although there is no timeline for
completion of the renovation work. I also understand that since it took ownership the City has borne costs fc>r such essentials as
maintaining security and fire watch, installing fire systems, and abatement work at both sites.
The President of the Carnegie Community Centre Associatlon (CCCA) recently wrote to me
sharing concerns they have raised with the City of Vancouver about the future of the site. They have been working closely with DTES community residents and in December 2024 said they received an update frcim "city planning staff about activating the old Balmoral Hotel site for the
next two years" and are "hoping the city will be ready to start building shelter-rate housing on
the site as soon as the 2 years of activation are up, or even sc)c)ner". The letter also raised
coricerns that no renovation work is taking place yet and that there are no public plans for the sites -informatic>n that was recently confirmed by media repc>rts.
The CCCA ralsed a number of questlons, seeking a progress update fc)r the Regent and Balmoral sites, Including plans ancl timelines; asking if funds have been secured for the respective
renovation and construction work, and requestlng a liaisc)n person at BC Houslng A copy of the
CCCA letter is attached for your reference,I ask if you could please keep me informed of the
response to these questions. So long as the Balmctral and Regent sites sit vacant, people li'ving in the DTES wc]nder if they will
ever see the promised safe, dignified, affcirdable homes replace the 320 or so SRO roc>ms that were lost when the buildings were evacuated due tct life and safety threats. As the CCCA point out, "there are nearly 3,500 individuals on social assistance without a permanent .address in
Vancouver. This does not Include senlors and those who are homeless but not recelvlng
welfare". Fast action to get renewal of the Balmoral and the Regent completed would provide a home for lots of these most vulnerable people without displacing anyone. Historically, with this kind of project, where the City contributes the land parcel, the cost of
building and renovatlon, as well as operatlng agreements that prc)vide rent subsidy to allow the
suites to rent for welfare shelter rate, would typically be cost-shared between the provincial
and federal governments.
It would be Imperative that the Federal government is back at the
table working collaboratively with the City and the Province to deliver affordable housing in our cc]mmunitv.
2
Therefore,I call on you to work qulckly to come to a cost-sharlng agreement for the costs of completlng this work, and immediatelv begin the constructlon. I stand ready to assist in whatever way I can to move these pro|ects forward. Thank you for your attention to thls matter and I look forward to your prompt reply so that I may keep community members Informed.

Forcefully from cumulonimbus clouds-
The future is bleak with nursing homes to forget the aged

Depressingly to the prairies of horizons unknown
Who is spoon feeding who in times of despair and need?
Like many broken dreams. to the drains, (hrown It snowed ln Flcirida whlte indeed. Contradictions:
Yet. to flaunt status, success. Buy vacation homes
Our children are watching, seeing the bad models
ln unceded territories, tropics, war stricken nations
The god-complex self-righteous leaders, no repercussions
More other reasons: some hearts are of jealousy, hate
Many are living with bullets, knives, fire. anger, wounds
Anti-migrants, anti-multiculturalism, pro-supremacists
What's up with that? Disregarding our women, girls
Fascists. Supporters of insurance companies, eugenics
Our mothers, sisters, nieces, wives. Ain't she a woman?
Some think to rather be Americans than Canadians
Which held each one for nine months Do nctt dare allow
Rather be in dusty Miami or pleasing (he rich in NYC
Those who say, Feminism is dead Think of the womb
Dying to be surfers, islanders, buy properties in Hawaii
Let it spring feminism. the energ'.y' ci' women

Speaker has hope about zirtificial intelligence By Jean Swanson

Cl()ck: On Race, S|)ace, (Ind Time` rooing our Artificial Intelligence (AI) "never gets tired and iiever ro]]s its eyes." That's v\i'hat Elisa Baniassad . a
UBC` coi`iputer pi`ot` and speaker at the Carnegie Learning Centre's speaker series said when she gave a talk on March 11 at the Learning Centre. Baniassad used her own experience as a pcrsoi] with ADl lD wlio has a special needs cliild to talk
about some of the good things about AI. Slie recouiited her earl.y years as a child in a school in Eiigland where she was yelled at and told to "focus" when she couldn't d6 it. Then she told about her son wlio \vas told at school to write a stor}'. He couldn't sit do\`'n and wiite one but 1`e could tell a stor}J to cliatgpt (a form of ^I) and chatgpt wi`ote it. Ai`d tliere \vas Ilo shaming or yelling. "Al takes power away t`rom the powerful aiid gives it to people \`Iio doii't have po\\e[.." she said. AI is

Its teclmically diffcrcnt from how computer pi.ogi`ams wol.k`" Baniassad said She explajiied that AI woi-ks by haivestmg e\ er} u eb
pagc` t`acebook i)ost. etc. Chatgpt cxplaii`s the differeiice betw'een .\1 and computer programmiiig as follows: "AI I-€fers to thc. s]mulatjon of human intelligence in machines. It involves creating s}`stems that can learn. reasoii` dud make decisions based on d{ita.
Computer Programming is the process of \+'riting instructions (code) for a computer to follow in order to p€rrorm specific tasks." Btliiiusbad Said that programmers. doctors` teachers and journalists are some occupatioiis whosejobs could be taken b}` ^1. She didn't think that people \\iho have physical jobs need to be \`'orried about losing lheirjobs to AT.
Billionaires are not worricd, added Baniassad, becaiise they own tlie AI.
