I am a high school student from Vancouver conducting market research for my business class and would really appreciate it if you could fill out this short, less-than-five-minute form: https://forms.gle/jLc5j9411kvGWiw28. I am trying to see if local businesses would be interested in free social media consulting from a Gen Z's perspective to grow their social media platforms as well as their younger audience. It would be great if you could fill this out by THIS THURSDAY, Nov. 18!

- Thanks in advance, Kylie

Hello r/greatervan*! We're a Vancouver-based charity called Foundations for Social Change and this year we're participating in Homelessness Action Week.*

We want to start by listening. We want to hear from people in the community who have had interactions with people they have perceived as experiencing homelessness but haven’t had direct lived experience. By listening to these experiences we want to start an open conversation and invite people from across the city of Vancouver (and beyond) to think differently and openly about supporting their unhoused neighbours.

If you'd like to participate, please choose any of the questions below to share an experience. Your story will be anonymous- we won't ask for your name or any identifying details and you can choose whether you'd like the story to be shared publicly.

Alternatively if you would prefer to answer outside of reddit you can find our survey at https://www.questionpro.com/t/ATXbSZoDwG

If you have any follow-up questions, please send us an email at info@forsocialchange.org. Thank you!

• Do you consider people experiencing homelessness as neighbors?
• How do you think homelessness in Vancouver affects you and/or your community?
• What support could you rely on in a time of financial uncertainty that would prevent you from losing your home?
• Do you have an experience that shaped your perception of unhoused neighbours living in your community/city?
• If you have an experience or story that doesn’t fit these questions above, feel free to share it here.

Thank you to all my fellow Vancourites who've given me such helpful feedback on our community, and how to make celebrations of our city - and the people in it - more accessible to all regardless of income, or what neighbor you live in. It's amazing to hear from so many of you whom I would never get the chance to meet in person - thank you!

Looking to move my retired parents and me (Asian) to a quiet neighbourhood in Langley, Burnaby/somewhere in the GVA. What's the demographic like in these cities? I know Burnaby has a lot of Asians but housing prices aren't looking too hot for us. Would be really stretching the budget and not getting the amount of space we want.

We're not picky as long as it's close to grocery stores, parks, and the usual suburbs stuff. We'll have two cars so driving anywhere isn't an issue. I just want my parents to feel comfortable wherever they're living and not have to deal with racist nonsense (via microaggression or blatant). I grew up in a predominantly white neighbourhood so I can take it but my parents are sweet old people and shouldn't have to deal with that anymore.
