“On the Coast” with host Stephen Quinn will be broadcasting live from Pat’s Pub inside the Patricia Hotel on January 15 from 3 – 6pm. Join us as we explore the cultural profile of the Downtown Eastside, the neighborhood of Strathcona, and even historic Chinatown. Seating will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Stephen will be talking to “house historian” James Johnstone who will give periodic profiles of specific buildings in Strathcona – when they were built, who lived there, stories of the residents, and where they are now. Photographer Bev Davies will be on hand sharing her memories of how the neighbourhoods used to rock. In the 1970s and 80s, she captured images of old rock and roll venues, as well as the homes of rockers in the area.

April will be on air around 4:40 pm, speaking about AHA MEDIA’s hyper local community event coverage, connections with Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES) and Strathcona with neighborhood members and upcoming projects during the Olympics

According to article by CBC
B.C.’s child poverty rate still Canada’s highest

British Columbia’s child poverty rate has remained the highest in Canada for six years in a row and it’s time the provincial government took action, according to a child and youth advocacy group.
In its annual Child Poverty Report Card released Tuesday, the advocacy group First Call said B.C. had 156,000 poor children in 2007 — even though that was a good year for the provincial economy.
“When will the provincial government take action?” asked First Call chairwoman Julie Norton, who released the report on the 20th anniversary of an unanimous House of Commons vote to end child poverty in Canada by 2000.
‘We are seeing dramatic declines in child poverty in British Columbia,’—B.C. Children and Family Development Minister Mary Polak
The proportion of children living in poverty in B.C. was 18.8 per cent, while the national child poverty rate was 15 per cent, according to Statistics Canada data cited in the report.
