APC occupies the former North Star hotel.
The empty building formally known as the North Star Hotel is currently being occupied by a handful of people. A demonstration organized by the Anti-Poverty Committee marched to the building with 200-250 protesters. Occupiers inside hung banners out the top story windows as the march rallied in front of the building.
Currently the APC is waiting for an official police order before moving people into the building. The police have stated that they will have a meeting with the city Monday morning and then make there position known. The police have stated to lawyers that they will not move on the building until after that meeting.
Over the evening shifts have been organized to support the occupation. In the morning a call-out has been made for supporters to attend a breakfast meeting at 8 am at the APC office to discuss the on going situation.
For more information on how to get involved please contact the APC office at 604.682.3276 or come by the office at 327 Carrall St.
