One
of the main purposes behind this website is to introduce some of
the individuals at Woodwards and their concerns to those of us who
have access to computers and the internet.
Another
purpose of this website is to encourage the citizens of Vancouver
to vote in the civic election on November 16th, 2002. The percentage
of people that have voted in the civic elections in the past is
much lower than the provincial and federal elections despite having
a large influence over our immediate neighborhoods.
Everyone
should ask themselves why people have to live at Woodwards and why
so many others have supported them. Whether you live in the Downtown
Eastside, Point Gray, Fairview, the West End, etc. everyone has
a direct effect on the way we want to see things change or remain
the same. Each one of us wakes up with a certain amount of energy
each day. How we distribute this energy through the things we buy,
what we say, where we play and where we work influences the world
around us.
