WTC In Action

WTC welcomes 15 new members joining last month to our growing community of intersectional feminists!

WTC is a member-based organization. Members support our advocacy on critical local equity issues, increase our voice with decision-makers, and help fund our programs that build civic participation skills and confidence.

WTC chatted to Effy from Our DTES Talks about what we do and our connection to the Downtown Eastside.

Our DTES Talks is a podcast and our episode goes into the the importance of civic politics, the theory of change, and some recent motions including the pause on supportive housing. Our episode will come out in April.

WTC was invited to speak on a Frontline Collaborative (FLC) panel on strategies to mobilize for change with local Downtown Eastside activists.

Panel speakers included folks from Carnegie Housing Project, DTES Neighbourhood House, Exchange Inner City’s Resident Advisory Council, and Vancouver Coastal Health.

Climate Reality Project Canada held a training day that included a panel where they invited WTC to speak to organizers across Metro Vancouver on local climate solutions and sustainable housing.

WTC delivered a workshop in honour of International Women’s Day to Vancouver Coastal Health.

We explored practical frameworks to develop strategies for policy shifts in the healthcare space. Participants walked away with concrete tools for advocacy work.

Folks from the WTC community attended the all-candidates meeting together at Mount Pleasant Community Centre.

During Q&A, WTC asked candidates how they would take action on the HPPC commitments that they pledged to, if elected.

WTC collaborated with CityHive and Global Shapers to share by-election voting resources.

We raised awareness on why the Vancouver by-election matters, and how to create a voting plan!

WTC facilitated International Women's Day workshops to Metro Vancouver, Fortinet, and WTC members.

The workshops ranged from gender equity in the workplace and beyond, inclusive practices, as well as the labour roots of International Women’s Day.
