Fear Turns to Friendship For Survivors of Torture

To the average Canadian, the words “torture” and “police” don’t really fit together.

But to many who have come to Canada as refugees, just seeing an officer in uniform can trigger horrendous memories of abuse in their homeland by agents of the state – including police.

Be Street-Smart: Walk Safely!

DID YOU KNOW?

More pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle collisions than any other road user. In Vancouver, pedestrians account for more than half of all

collision fatalities. Elderly pedestrians are far more likely to be killed in a pedestrian-struck collision than any other age group.

PEDESTRIAN TIPS

The Garbage Gatherers

I’ve been a resident of the Hastings-Sunrise community for over a decade and have watched it change, for the better.

About four to five years ago, on those Saturday mornings I was able to rouse myself out of bed to run my errands before noon, I began to notice people wearing reflective vests wandering the streets, picking trash up off the sidewalks. I figured they must be either doing volunteer work or community service, but didn’t think any more of it.
