Since the 1970’s there has been a growing public awareness of the Downtown Eastside as a distinct community in our City. In the first annual Jim Green Memorial Lecture at SFU, Ken Lyotier, a long time resident of the Downtown Eastside, will share some observations and recollections. He will use a “social change” lens to examine how DERA, CRAB Park, United We Can, non market housing development, and other community building projects have affected life in this part of Vancouver.
