HOMELESSNESS AND GENTRIFICATION Walking Tour with CCAP – Carnegie Community Action Project for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Saturday Oct 30, 2010
Walking Tour
HOMELESSNESS AND GENTRIFICATION with CCAP
Saturday October 30, 11:30am–1pm
Meet at steps of Carnegie Community Centre, 401 Main
Learn for yourself how gentrification causes homelessness in the Downtown Eastside. Led by Wendy Pedersen and volunteers from the Carnegie Community Action Project (CCAP), this walking tour will go past new market housing that is pushing up land values and rents in 100 year old hotels. Learn how low-income residents are organizing to slow gentrification and preserve the good things about their community while working for more social housing. CCAP is building consensus within the community for a vision of the Downtown Eastside that hopefully the city will adopt. Visioning reports and information on gentrification can be found on their blog: www.ccapvancouver.wordpress.com. $10 for non-residents, pay what you can for local residents

NOT MY LOVE(R) Opening Reception for Bernadine Fox at InterUrban Gallery for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Friday Oct 29, 2010
Opening Reception
NOT MY LOVE(R) Bernadine Fox
Friday October 29, 7pm-10pm
InterUrban Gallery, 1 E. Hastings
Exhibition October 26 to Nov 13
Bernadine Fox (BFA) hails from a place on this planet that is so flat you can see company coming from over ten miles away. She raised two girls as a single parent and is now a single nana raising her granddaughter. Bernadine paints, draws, teaches, curates, writes, and organizes art events. In this exhibit of paintings, Bernadine explores a broken heart and discovers that the act of facing and working through tremendous pain always (always) brings back the positive: large, bright, and very much alive. Her work is created for and about the modern woman. (www.bernadinefox.ca) The gallery is open Wed to Sat, 1:30pm to 5pm. Free

Haisla with Nasty, Brutish & Short at Urban Aboriginal Gallery Opening for the 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Friday Oct 29, 2010
GALLERY OPENING Haisla with Nasty, Brutish & Short
Friday October 29, 7pm-9pm
Urban Aboriginal Gallery, 456 E. Hastings
During this past summer a landmark mural project was painted on the west wall of the newly-renovated Orwell Hotel. The ground floor of the Orwell was the planning space for the artists and organizers. Inspired by the creative energy of the artists working together, the Vancouver Native Housing Society moved forward to open the Urban Aboriginal Gallery in the same ground floor location. Join the artists to celebrate with music from one of the participating artists, Haisla Collins and her roots acoustic band—Haisla with Nasty, Brutish & Short. Specializing in blues and ballads with flavours of gospel, jazz and country, Haisla is joined by Lorenzo Watters on lead guitar and mandolin, the Reverend Gabriel Hebert on slide guitar and banjo, and Father Theo on rhythm guitar and twelve-string. That’s urban blues! See you there! Free
