Recommendation 1:
I recommend that the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, the provincial Ministry of Housing and Social Development, and the Aboriginal community jointly develop a comprehensive response to the needs of homeless chronic alcoholics within the city of Vancouver. This would include (but not be limited to) the following components: a civilian-operated program for attending to chronic alcoholics who are incapacitated in a public place; a civilian-operated sobering centre; an enhanced civilian-based detoxification program; the provision of permanent low-barrier housing designed for the specific needs of chronic alcoholics, which would offer (if needed) palatable alcohol substitution and managed alcohol programs, and; the provision of community-based, multidisciplinary assertive community treatment services.

Recommendation 46:
Partner with other organizations (such as the Office of the Human Rights Commissioner, CLEBC, law schools, Indigenous and legal organizations) to provide bootcamps and other training opportunities for lawyers or law students about Indigenous Peoples’ human rights. This case-based education should address the different elements in bringing a case: What is discrimination on prohibited grounds? Where are examples of evidence? Does the fact that no one witnessed an event mean that no case for discrimination can be brought? Training should include systemic features and intersectionality of the discrimination that Indigenous Peoples experience based on race and gender, geographic and socio-economic status, etc.

Recommendation 21:
“Tourism and Marketing Strategy.” More specifically for Chinatown’s Marketing Strategy, we recommend actions including measures to build social and cultural relationships between traditional and non-traditional businesses. As our research has shown, there are missed intra-neighbourhood economic opportunities due to parallel and segregated economic and social systems. Marketing opportunities within the neighbourhood to businesses across cultural lines would contribute to neighbourhood connectivity. The external aspects of the Tourism and Marketing Strategy would also benefit from a more socially cohesive business environment in Chinatown.
