W2 Belongs to Me Press Conference on City of Vancouver Locking out W2 Media Cafe, W2 Community and Indigenous Groups shut out at W2 Media Cafe in Vancouver
As a pre-Christmas gift, on December 17 the City of Vancouver changed locks on the W2 Media Cafe in the Woodward’s Atrium.
Community groups are responding raising objections to loss of inclusive space in the Downtown Eastside. The 10,000 sq ft community-engaged media arts centre had been facing a controversial December 31 eviction notice.
The inner-city media hub is broadly recognized for incubating and launching programs and services with the Urban Indigenous community, and these groups are most affected by the locks being changed.
A Press Conference will take place at the Woodward’s Atrium on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012 at 11:00am.
Speakers will include:
Bracken Hanuse Corlett, Co-Founder, Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival•
Debbie Krull, Woodsquat Veteran
Cease Wyss, Squamish Media Artist
Ashley Frances, InDigital Co-Coordinator
Rob Morgan, Woodsquat Veteran/LAPP member
Scott Clark, ALIVE Executive Director

3rd Annual Community Christmas Craft Fair 2012 in Vancouver Downtown Eastside
The Community Christmas Craft Fair is a unique experience to support low-income women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Crafts are affordably priced, vendors are part of a supportive community that the public is welcomed into, and the event has no cost to vendors which means all proceeds go directly to the artists. Not only that, but submission to the fair is restricted to low-income residents in the DTES, many of whom are involved in drug and alcohol treatment and employment training programs.
