What exactly is a tenants union?
Come find out and meet more of your neighbours at a public forum and information night.
Join us Wed, May 31 at Gordon Neighborhood House to learn about the new Vancouver Tenants Union, and to share stories and hear from renters facing renovictions and other unjust treatment from landlords in the West End.
If you want to sign-up as a member of the Tenants Union, just bring $1 with you or join directly on the website at TenantsUnion.ca. There's strength in numbers!

If you've been thinking of cob, and especially Fast Cob!, here's a quick message to let you know our Summer is packed full of building with an East Coast Apprentice arriving soon, a Cottage coming along nicely on Denman, and 3 more Fast Cob! workshops scheduled for August and September.
Those workshops are getting full, too, so if you're interested in joining us this year, consider applying sooner than later to avoid disappointment. Here's the line-up:
August 19-26 - All the Basics: Fast Cob! from the Ground Up *** 4 spots remain
September 2-9 - All the Basics: Fast Cob! from the Ground Up *** 2 spots remain
September 16-23 - Learning to Live Off-the-Grid with Fast Cob! *** 3 spots remain
Simply visit our workshops webpage for all the details and then scroll down to the bottom to fill in our online application...I'll get back to you as soon as I wash the mud off my hands at the end of the building day.
With the return of the sun today, I can hardly wait to get out and build that Cob Oven and Bench...enjoy the warmth!
