Openin~Ceremony 1
The 19 Annual Heart ofthe City Festival opened on Wednesday, October 26 in the Carnegie Community Centre's theatre. The welcome drumming was done by Love Medicine. ',. Bob Baker, an elder from the Squamish Nation, welcomed all with a song about building community and Terry .'. Hunter, executive producer of the Festival, was master of ceremonies. Both Bob and Terry acknowledged the ~ life and times of Kat Norris, Elder-in-Residence for the festival for the last few years. Larissa Healey, featured on the cover of the program guide this year, performed her grass dance in full regalia. Her words helped show the inextricable link between her native language and all the cultural protocols acted out in the dancing. One cannot exist without the other. And, as has been attested by a local organization, culture I saves lives. Carnegie's own lexwst'i:lem Drum Group performed and acknowledged the sad news ofStanley Paul's passing. They ended their presentation with a song for the children who never returned from residential schools. One ofthe highlights ofthe opening was the additional panels of the Festival mural, with Richard Tetrault and fellow artists who added 3 more panels to honour other persons in the Downtown Eastside community. Following are words by Gilles Cyrenne - his 'morning page' written the day ofthis opening ceremony: '.I..

Community is My Mentor (Talk given at beginning of Heart of the City Festival) Woke up thinking about the delusions of individualism this morning. In every moment of our lives from conception to death, with every breath, in every step that moves us, we depend on community in small and big ways. We begin helpless in community offamily: all the caring we receive - a gift from parents expecting nothing in return. This gift from community keeps on giving. This fountain pen I hold revising these morning pages: how much community went into creating it? Who mined the metal for the nib and grip? Who designed it and drafted a plan for craftspersons to build a prototype? Which person in what factory assembled it? Somebody worked on an oil rig to produce the plastic that forms my pen's body. Somewhere there is a factory that produces the ink and there's a store up the street, The Pen Shop, where people work who sold me"my special morning pages pen. In order to buy it, a money system backed by a government central bankl supports me. (Don't get me going on how far away from the world of gift our politics and economics have strayed with their expertise in monetizing everything- that's another story) Here at Carnegie a community who inspires my writing supports me. We are all connected. My nephew who builds pipelines in Alberta from where the plastic originates, the clerk in The Pen Shop, and everybody in this room are a part of these words I write. And we are here enjoying a festival with multiple free events - a gift from community. Think also of e~erything and everybody who collaborated to enable this gathering: the original community play, organizers and staff of the festival, the carpenters who built this floor some 120 years ago, everyone who has ever walked here, community activists who saved this space for us. None of this is possible without all of that - all of it, a gift from the past carried into today. In life's every moment we are with community interdependent partners and mentors. Every step we take, everything we touch contains an entire world with a history unfolding within it which changes us as we change it. None of us ever does anything completely alone. We are never an individual thing totally apart. Individualism with its ego-centredness sometimes deludes us that we are the great hero actor in our own drama, but that's all just a magnificent delusion which forgets we are living in gratuities that surround life's every moment. We are interdependent,
close to symbiotic,
we are community.

The Down Town East Side
GordonBird I'm Luanne. I have an invisible disability. I've been given the revolving door for over 30 years, with the few travel agencies that were good going out of business 5 & 15 years ago. Now I have no one to go to. I've read CLS newsletters that have stories of people with disabilities who wanted to go to Hawaii and Italy. Society's attitude was that they couldn't do it there because they were disabled. The people living in CLS group homes got a support worker and got heard, I've lived on my own for 35 years. I've talked to many support workers and would have paid them top dollar to get heard and still haven't been heard. There are 4 places in B.C. I've been trying to get to, to learn about and to explore. I'm trying hard to get heard. Luanne Bradshaw
Pivot Drug Policy Lawyer CaitIin Shane testifies before the ~en"ateStanding Committee (Oct 19,22) ;,
•
Last week, I appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs to share Pivot's views on Bill C-S: An Act to Amend the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The Bill had its first reading at the House of Commons in December 2021 and is now at the Senate Committee stage, where stakeholders (like Pivot) are invited to testify and make recommendations. Bill C-S proposes to amend the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. It aims to do three things: repeal certain mandatory minimum penalties for drug-related offences; restore the use of conditiona sentence orders; and establish diversion measures for simple drug possession offences. ORAL SUBMISSION: Good afternoon honorable members of the Committee and thank you for having me today. My name is Caitlin Shane and I'm the staff lawyer of drug policy at Pivot Legal Society. I'm joining you from Vancouver BC on the stolen lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. I've circulated a more detailed brief that explains Pivot's position in full, but for today, I'll focus on Bill C-Ss proposed amendments to the CDSA, and specifically those under Part 1.1 "Evidence Based Diversion Measures." • In short, Pivot is concerned that by proposing measures that lessen but don't fundamentally alter the criminalization of drug use, Bill C-S is currently fated to maintain the status quo, and in doing so, to fail its own purposes. I'll explain.
-Bill C-5's principles correctly identify that substance use is not a criminal issue, but a health and social issue. -It rightly finds that interventions should be founded on evidence-based practices that protect the human rights, health, and dignity of people who use drugs. -It recognizes, significantly, that criminal sanctions for drug possession increase stigma and quote "are not consistent with established public health evidence" But despite accurately identifying the principles and evidence in issue, Bill C-5 proceeds to propose solutions that don't follow these principles or evidence to their logical conclusion. If Bill C-5 wants in good faith to honour its principles, it should actually decriminalize drug possession. This is being called for, desperately, by people who use drugs, their families, numerous Chief Public Health Officers, over 180 civil society organizations across the country, the province of BC, and various entities of the United Nations. It is time to listen to the experts, and legislate accordingly. I'm primarily concerned that when it comes to people who are actually being criminalized for drug use, these diversion measures will just continue to cycle people through the criminal justice system. I'll explain why: -Bill C-5 retains police and prosecutorial discretion to lay drug possession charges, and it explicitly provides that if police fail to follow protocol, there are no consequences, either for the officer or the person who was failed. We know that poor and racialized drug users are consistently, disproportionately targeted for drug possession charges-ifthese provisions don't actively combat that reality, we can't expect it to change. -Bill C-5 requires that police collect information-including personal identification-from people who receive warnings or referrals. That information is then made available to police and the courts. This provision alone mimics criminalization and is absolutely enough to keep drug use underground. The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized that even the most informal interaction between police and marginalized people is experienced as detention. Provisions respecting data collection must be removed in their entirety. Though the record suspension provisions are well-intentioned, they qlso won't protect most people who are criminalized for drug possession. Record suspensions are easily revoked, including where the person commits an indictablejaffence or they're considered not to be of good conduct. An indictable offence can be as minor as breaching a probation condition requiring abstinence. I would urge the Senate to consider a more effective approach to suspending and expunging records for drug possession offences. Those are sort of my overarching concerns and of course, my core recommendation with respect to the diversion measures is to decriminalize drug possession. Short of that, there are amendments that can be made, and I've included those in my brief, but it's with the earnest caveat that this framework-this current iteration of the Bill-will not serve the Bill's principles and is not truly a public health or human rights approach to substance use.
[The following piece was directed to Jaimie McGregor, the new Director of Carnegie (6 months in) and submitted to the Newsletter by Priscillia Mays Tait.] Carnegie Community Centre For years, Carnegie has been the "living room" of the Downtown Eastside. Many of the area's residents still live in SRO housing. Usually this means living in one small room. By the time you put in a bed and some kind of system (wardrobe or dresser maybe) to keep your clothing, maybe a sink and a hotplate to serve as a kitchen, there is barely room for a few possessions and little space for any activity to speak of. Carnegie has been a godsend to people in such situations (also to those living in shelters or on the street) for many years. There was a time when all floors of Carnegie stayed open until 10:30pm and patrons could stay in the building until 11pm. People often sat with their friends, conversing or singing and making music or playing chess (International or Chinese) or playing cards or dominoes. Others might read or sit with their laptops or do their sewing or drawing or other creative activities. There were so many programs of so many kinds that the theatre and classrooms were almost constantly in use, and space was ingeniously used to store materials and accommodate transformation from one use to another. There were quite a few acoustic guitars that had been donated to Carnegie, and people were able to take out a "loaner" guitar and find a corner somewhere in the building to strum it. If it happened that the Theatre was not being used for a particular program at any time, it was quite simple and usual for a patron to be allowed to go into the theatre and play the piano, whether they were an accomplished player or just people who needed to express themselves. In short, tremendous effort was put into Carnegie by staff and programmers, and the City of Vancouver must have been quite supportive. People really tried to have Carnegie provide as much benefit to its patrons (who for the most part had nowhere else to turn) as it possibly could. This was a tremendous challenge which was powerfully met. Over the years, we have watched Carnegie change. "Security" seemed to become more and more a priority, Floors closed earlier and earlier, & more and more restrictions.were placed on what patrons could do, and when they could do it. Carnegie at one time was incredibly unique. There was nothing like it anywhere in Canada, alld probably North America. The atmosphere was wonderfully welcoming. I have no doubt it saved many lives just by being the way it was. When the Pandemic came along, Carnegie shut down. Even before that, it had been creeping toward becoming just another institution. (I should mention the effort and expense that used to go into celebrating Camegie's volunteers, especially at & with the monthly volunteer dinners, when staff members would cook for and serve the many volunteers who put in so much hard work the rest of the month.) The Library and the computer room always had a lot of use. Now I hear that the computer room will become extinct, becoming a staff room. Of course we want Carnegie to provide good working conditions for employees, but there does appear to be a pronounced trend toward providing convenience for staff at the expense of patrons. From what I see in the neighbourhood, the needs are greater than they have ever been. Where can area residents go to append a day or an evening? Especially if they do not want to drink alcohel? Carnegie has provided one of the few healthy outlets for people who have nowhere else to go. What else is available for people who need some kind of hope for a better life? At Camegie (at least in the past) the barriers to admittance and acceptance & to hope and progress were not high. People in dire straits could find a glimmer of sunshine, a possibility to live and share and create a betterlife for themselves. Camegie's Music Program (the afternoon jams and the evening cabaret) is the only program which be-
gan when the community centre became a reality in 1980 and continued without stopping right until Carnegie basically shut down for the pandemic. Those who needed to express themselves musically and those who needed an evening out where they didn't need to drink or spend money (they didn't have) had a place to be. It was well-attended throughout the years. There used to be monthly dances. Most times the band would be composed of community musicians. Carnegie would give them the time and space required to rehearse and work up about 30 songs to provide 3 hours of entertainment for residents of the community who would dance up a storm or choose to sit at the tables around the edges of the room and just listen. So many wonderful things have happened at Carnegie, and so many people have been helped in so many ways, that it's hard to remember even the half of it. Maybe by remembering what was once possible we can be inspired to breathe new life into the old "Sandstone Lady", to imagine and to create a magical rebirth and have her once again be a vital "living room" of the Downtown Eastside. To get a feel for what Carnegie has been and what it could be in the future, one could do a lot worse than to have long chats with people who've been around a long time. It's important to realize that many DTES residents don't have much source of stability in their lives, and it's helpful if Camegie can provide some. Park Board . There is an ongoing problem at Woodland Park community garden, which has been occurring for several months. Pretty much every night someone uses the garden as a toilet for solid waste. Even though there is a port-a-pottie now available, the problem continues. This problem was happening long before the campers began setting up their tents at Woodland Park. (Some citizens in the area, particularly those citizens with children, are quite concerned about the presence of the campers as well.) Perhaps it's time to re-evaluate the policy that dictates closure of washrooms at night. We need to recognize that this has become a real health hazard. Children often play in the garden. An alternative to keeping washrooms open would be to establish regular nightly park surveillance by Parks Board personnel, . perhaps in coordination with City Police. Maybe security cameras could be installed. We feel much compassion for any individual who is in such distress that they must relieve themselves in a community garden. ~aybe they find a port-a-pottie too dark and claustrophobic in the middle of the night. But there must be some way to resolve this issue. P.S. Hug a tree. . Priscillia Mays The pile of Teddy Bears on the corner of Main and Hastings that is a makeshift memorial to the lost Aboriginal children (especially Kamloops 215) is looking pretty sad. Winter will not improve it. It's already quite depressing. It takes up space at a busy intersection and is a bit of a safety hazard. We suggest it be replaced with orange banners (and orange lights). A lovely design for the banner would be the adult eagle and baby eagle forming a heart design on the orange T-shirts given out on September 30th• Nicole Bird (programmer for Indigenous Activities at Carnegie) has pins with samples of this design. We also suggest not erecting a memorial at the Balmoral Hotel. We feel a ceremony to clear the energy for a fresh start would be better. Cedar boughs are used in a sweeping fashion by Musqueam, Squamish and T~elf-Watuth for their cleansing ceremonies. P.S. Hug a Tree Priscillia Mays
~ For my Grandparents
~ Remembrance
Day!
And all the Veterans on this and all remembrance Days! Looking in their eyes and understanding what I'd seen the veterans that they were Scarred from the wars before me, Never coming back from the damage 'they' did see Looking in their eyes understanding what I'd seen the family that was lost from the distance those wars cost, Grandparents hard to love because of the high cost The difference of our worlds from the state of point of view, The poppies that I see Hurts the love inside of me For the people that I lost who were way too old to see; the limit of their love towards the grand-daughter in me, I lifted them on high For what it is they meant to me, When they looked inside my eyes It was that love they didn't see When I was growing up around the silence of disease, The damage those wars cost for so many families As f'wipe away the tears; for the words they'll never hear as I remember my love for them through the eyes of innocents, And remember what they shared And who I fight to be from here, For looking in their eyes and understanding what I'd seen the veterans that they were from the wars before me, the families that were lost from the distance those wars cost, As I learn to say good-bye Knowing what their love did cost While still inside remember What it is they meant to me; from the distance of our Worlds and the states of point of view and how the poppies that I see will always hurt, the little girl inside of me!
I wrote this about Remembrance and memory
Day, ifs in honor
of both my Grand-parents
in World War 2, and my Grandmother
who were was a child
survivor of a Father who was in World War 1! And I thought
what a wonderful
contributing
con-
necting detail to this piece and story behind it for me, so I decided I couldn't
think of anything
more
fitting to share with all of you the readers as we bond as a group in our daily lives and struggles living in the DTES and how it connects to the history ofthose
previous world wars in it's own way to us
today! So that in spite of where we may all be in our struggles and challenges that we can still reflect on the words and message of this piece just how lucky we are that we've had a lot of freedom
being able to live FREEof being any
part of Wars by force, rather we have instead had the freedom
to JOIN in on the fight in helping oth-
ers in need of our love and support.
So let us rejoice
in the simple reward of knowing that we will yet again get te enjoy another year of safety and security as the fortunate
Canadians we are!
So let us enjoy our Remembrance
Day and time
with loved ones or the dear memory to us all together,
of dear ones
and reflect on just how importan-
tis that we can have such a time to be fortunate enough to be able to do just that in a relaxed and peaceful state, to REMEMBER!
And I leave these words with you and hope you enjoy the poem and I invite thoughtful and inspired responses from readers, that I may be able to share for you in future work and pieces I publish ahead so we can all reflect and embrace on this journey this time of year together!

Marie-Josee Houle, Federal Housing Advocate, met at Carnegie with a group of us who had experiences SRO's, homelessness, and poverty. This is my follow up letter to her. Dear Ms. Houle, Thank you for coming to Carnegie Community Centre and listening to our experiences around homelessness, for hearing our concerns about living conditions in Single Room Occupancy hotels, for seeing for yourself the conditions in Crab Park and Hastings Street; and for joining us in remembering friends who had died from overdoses. Thank you, and good luck also in the difficult work you are doing. I understand that the Federal Government is offering a $500.00 grant for low-income renters, which though helpful, is basically a band aid that does not solve a long term historical problem that has been critically exasperated by 50 years of neoliberal economics, whose invisible hand has trickled down poverty, debt, homelessness, hopelessness, and addiction. Right wing conservative implementation of "the market solves everything" ideology creates accelerating roller coaster boom and bust economic cycles that create the massive wealth discrepancies, implements inequality, and perpetuates the inequity we are experiencing. While promoting rabid individualism, it ignores situational causes of poverty. We know from The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everybody, by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, that more equal societies experience far fewer social problems, including less addiction. We also know from Modern Monetary Theory that government, the issuer of currency, can generate as much money as we need as long as it's invested in productive economic activity. We are long past the time for government, at every level, to begin investing massive amounts of capital into increasing housing stock for Canadians at all the lower income levels, for everybody from the homeless, the working poor, the working class, and the lower middle class. It's time for government to create real competition that eliminates the strangle hold which landlords, rentiers, and real-estate investors have on the human right that is housing. We need to heavily tax the ownership of more than one home, implement mansion taxes to finance more public housing, and we need governments at every level to implement strong legal protection for tenants that includes vacancy control," Thank you, Gilles Cyrenne President, Carnegie Community Centre Association
