AHA Media

AHA MEDIA interviewed folks at VANDU and hear their stories of being ticketed by the Vancouver Police Dept (VPD) in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)

AHA MEDIA was approached by PHS to film a video about “the targeted ticketing blitz by VPD against DTES residents.

This will be part of the press kit, included as a 3-5 minute summary DVD, perhaps with the interviews in their entirety included as well, to be given to the press, at the press release on that subject next Wednesday ( Sept 16, 2009)

The press release will follow the police-board meeting to be held this month at the H.R. Mc.Millan Space Centre. Details of the Police Board meeting can be found here: http://vancouver.ca/police/policeboard/Meetings.htm
