A Letter on tlie City's Failure to Protect Residents from Exti.eme Weather by Stop the Sweeps Last year, Vancou\cr Coastal Health called extreme weather froiti cl imate change .tone of the most urgent public health issues in Vancouver."3 The effeetts of climate change have disproportjomtely large impacts on the urban t)oor` particularl}' within the contcxl of the housing crisis.I People who are unhoused or inadquuatel}' housed are at hi&heL risk of harm or death due to e;`treme heat.2 This dis|)roportjonate eft`ect on under-resourced residents parljcularly affects migrants and Indigenous communities with restricted access tc) tiealthcare.4,5 Considering the harm done b}' extieme weather to manginali7ed pc)pulations, the city .s hostile approach towards unhoused residents is violence.
In the summer or 2021. an unprecedented heat dome took the lives ot` 619 people in BC`, nearl}J three quarters of whom lived in tile Vancouver area I Man}' who djecl `.lived in socially or materially depnved neighbourhoods and most didn't ha\ie adequate cooling systems in their homes." The Downtowr] Edstside (DTES). is an url)an heat island and one of the hottest neighbourhoods in the cit.v.3 Rooms in Single Room Occupai`cy bui]diiigs ot`[cn o\`cl.he{tl` and soiiie of the poor]},'-iiisu]ated units areii`t even wired to I.un air conditioners.6 Durilig extre]]ie lieat eveiiTs` some resjdeiits are forced to slielter outside becaiise tl`eir
liomes are utilivable. Cooling centers, while necessary, are not a solution to extreme heat. For uiihoused residelits, this is not an accessible option` particular]},I whe]i required lo lca\`c bcliind \hcii-pcts and all their possessions. Undei-t]iese coiiditioiis. those sheltering outside are subject to daily strBet
s\\reeps, a process that violently evicts pcop]c l'rom where tl]cy arc attcmpti[lg to shc]tcr safc]y. In the Gtv of` Vancouver docunielit \Vo!`km

tlie city pi.omises tliat "tlie beliefits

This summer` Stop the Sweeps witnessed park raiigers coiirisc:itiiig coolers and other heat ma]iagemeiit items from unlioused residelits ill the middle of a liea[w{ive.

But` most importantl},.` the}/' increase the \'uli`erability of thc)sc. at the higlicsl risk of heat-I-elated h€altli complications tlnd death.
In i`onsideration of the above. we demalid the cit\': Stop the violent practice of Street S\\`eeps and funcl ci)mmiinity-led sidewalk cleflning I)rogrflms without police presence Decrimimilize sheltering and veiiding ill puh]ic spaces Commit seriously to rediicing greenhouse gas emissions from major soul-ces Eiisure vulnerable populations arc idcii[ified {]nd pru\'i(led direct support during extreme heat events

Rally against Involuntar}T Treatment So recently. the NDP prom ised [o expand in`'oluntary treatment for mental health. Involuntary treatment is wl`en somconc decides } ctu nee(1 mental health treatmelit` so the}' can pack you awa}' to a .`correctional t`acility" where [he} w ill help .\ ou get better. A lot of us think that's a bad idea` so \fy'e met on Sunday, September 29th. to ha\-e a i`a] 1}' about it.
We met in Victor} Square. It \\-as bright out, cold but getting wami aroimd the middle of the da}''. 'l`he turnout was rcall} good. From what I could see, it was a mix of folks from tlie DTES \`iith younger peo-
ple from oii[side the area, maybe university' students. The Carnegie Housing Project stat`t`ed a table there where \\-e had scitTie great con`Jersations about housing with people. The s[ieakers tliat day included Tonye. the host` as well as Kali, Tristen` Monat lJeather, Veronica, and 1 } son Singh Kelsall. I didn`t take notes, so I.in missiiig their last nanies and I caii`t tell you who said
u hat. But here are some of` tlie great poilits they made.
First of all, thei-e are people wlio \\/ant treatmeiit for mental liealtli and addiction right iio\v` but are beiiig told to wait Have you ti.led to get melital liealtli or addictions lielp recently? It's a lot ot`waitlists aiid forms and being treated like a bui`dcn on society. So it's not light for the provilice to keep packillg people awa}'' for meiital health probleiTis \\ilien you can`t even get help wlien you need it.
Secoiid, if the provilice 1.eally has motley for moi.e iiivoluntary ti.eatmeiit. why don.t they spend that mone}'' oil meiital health and addictioiis ti.eatmeiit f`or tlie people asking for it? Tlie},I always claim tlie problem
is not enough mone}'. The}' caii't cldim that an}'more. Third, the reason they t`ocus on ili\i'oliiiitai)'. treatment aiid iiot the volu]itary kiiid is that they don.t reall}`
care about the people suf`fering. Tlie}J only-care about voters \\'ho get f`righteiied by people oil tlie street.
The}' think the}' can score points \\'ith \oters b}' looking `.tough" and pushing poor pcoplc around. Sadl}/'`
it seems to work with some people. But it's a shameful \\a} to live }rour life to go aroiind kicking people who are dow.n just to look toiigh. Fourth` involuntary' care is a ver}i' colonial idea. The idea is to treat people as disposable. get them out of` the way` so that business as usual here can go on. If BC u'ere serious flbout recoiicilifltion aiid ending colonialism. they would put tlie needs of the most \'uliierab]e fii`st. But they choose to keep the \'`ioleiice comi,,g-
These are just some of the points that speakers m{ide. Keep leaming about this issue to make sui.e we can stop it from happeniiig. It`s good to show up to rallies. It doesii't just show that we care` the speakers are also actiially good and I think }'ctu would find tliem more inspiring to hear first-hand
