Joyce St Development Town Hall 2022

Join us for an in-person town hall discussion designed to engage residents and community members in reimagining Joyce St, supporting the retention of cultural food assets and slowing gentrification.

This town hall is intended to be a space for our community members to voice their concerns and share their lived experience. If you are member of the city council and city planners, we ask that you attend as a witness who is ready to actively listen to the community and to refrain from voicing your personal opinions.

Masks are mandatory.

Hosted by:

Joyce Street Action Network works to support the retention of cultural food assets and slow gentrification in the Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood. We are a group of community members and organizations who are working toward reimagining the Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood as a space where cultural foods, community, and cultural transmission continues well into the future. Our coalition began working to support the six Pilipinx and Korean businesses at 5163-5187 Joyce St facing displacement by a developer proposal to build a 32-storey condominium tower on the site in 2021. Our network includes organizations such as Renfrew Collingwood Food Justice, Vancouver Tenants Union, Sliced Mango Collective, and National Pilipino Canadian Cultural Centre.
