VTU June 2025 general meeting poster

On June 28th, the Vancouver Tenants Union will gather for our next General Meeting, where we will learn, strategize, and discuss what impacts tenants in the city. This month's GM is being hosted by the East Side chapter!

Our focus for the month will be on disability justice & accessibility. We'll be bringing forward an important motion on improving accessibility in the union, and we'll also have an open discussion on the topic, a skillshare from the disability justice working group, and a call to action on disability income assistance rates. If you've ever had thoughts about access barriers, capacity, collective care, and how we approach these in the union, this will be a time to share and discuss. 

The tentative schedule for the day is as follows: 

  • 12:00pm - Doors Open & Setup
  • 12:35pm - Opening, Land Acknowledgement, Collective Agreements
  • 12:45pm - Discussion on Disability & Access in the Union
