Despite #BCNDP saying they’ve stopped #renovictions in #BritishColumbia they’re still very much happening. After a ruling from the Residential Tenancy Branch #RTB dozens of #Esquimalt #seniors are being kicked out in four months for the new owners to do renovations.

Many of the #renters being displaced are #LowIncome, either on #disability or a #FixedPension. As a result, most of them can’t afford market rent, and fear they could be homeless.

Because the new owner is doing renovations, not a total demolition, Esquimalt’s #Tenant Assistance Policy isn’t triggered. Any stronger policy is the #BCgovernment jurisdiction.

“It’s time for the provincial government to actually stop this from happening. If they really want to stop renovictions, then they need to change the laws,” said Douglas King, executive director of #TogetherAgainstPovertySociety.

King says what’s needed is a BC-wide #TenantAssistance #policy to better #ProtectTenants facing #displacement, but also to prevent #taxpayers from paying for the consequences down the line.

'Their performances continue to #challenge a #MaleDominated industry defined by fleeting #talent , youthful beauty and #voyeurism .
Their #voices are stronger than ever. Their #musicianship is tight, and the onstage antics are imaginative, playful, colourful and fun. Their messages are #uplifting and clear, #intelligent and #RhoughtProvoking, now tinged with a softened version of #empathetic #rage about #SocialInjustice .'
