Transforming

where we live so that everyone can belong, participate and thrive.
Women Transforming Cities aims to radically shift social, economic, and political power to equity-deserving groups to reshape who cities are built by and for so that communities’ needs are met and everyone can belong, participate, and thrive.

Hot Pink Paper Campaign: Two-Year Progress Report

Read our two-year progress report where we unpack whether Mayor Sim and Vancouver City Council are moving forward or backward on their equity commitments halfway through their term. ⁠

Our Hot Pink Paper Campaign (HPPC) holds Vancouver City Council accountable to their commitments by tracking how councillors have voted on decisions that impact equity-deserving communities on key topics like affordable housing, climate action, public washrooms and more.

Check out the two-year progress report  ⤵️

The work of WTC in Vancouver takes place on the stolen ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge the leadership of Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and seek to learn and unlearn our own colonial practices as we work in cities as sites of resistance.
