VANCOUVER, Unceded Coast Salish Territory - SUNDAY, MAY 15th at 11AM- Join us for a quick anniversary celebration of the Sell-Off of Social Housing Units at the Olympic Village, hosted by the City of Vancouver and Rennie Marketing Systems! May 15th, 2010, marks the City and Millennium Water's first unsuccessful attempt to launch their doomed sales campaign. This campaign attempted to sell off nearly 800 units of committed social housing as condos. After a year of poor sales, negative feedback from homeowners and increasing pressure from the public to reinstate social housing, the City of Vancouver and Rennie Marketing have announced a new sales strategy!

Mayor Gregor Robertson, Penny Balem, Christy Clark & Rennie Marketing Systems invite you to join them for a special one year celebration of the Sell-Off of Social Housing Units at the Olympic Village!  

This one year anniversary is a new day in the history of the Olympic Village!  Celebrate the launch of our new strategy for Affordable Housing at the Olympic Village. Join them for an official ribbon cutting ceremony, and a very belated passing over of keys to those promised social housing units.

Speeches by Gregor Robertson, Penny Balem, Christy Clark and Bob Rennie, along with Current Condo Owners and New Renters. Press Conference with above speakers followed by questions and answers will be held at 11am Sunday, May 15th outside the SEFC Sales Centre at 1693 Manitoba!
