Past Hot Pink Paper Campaigns

We've led two successful Hot Pink Paper Campaigns (HPPC) to amplify the voices of communities who are otherwise not heard in the election process, and hold the Mayor and council to account on their commitments to make Vancouver a city where everyone can thrive.

​

2018 Commitments

 

These were the asks in 2018 of elected representatives.
