Community Brief

Human rights issues in Cranbrook

The Cranbrook Brief is part of a series that looks closely at human rights issues in four B.C. communities.

This brief focuses on three key areas of concern:

housing and poverty (shortage of subsidized housing, homelessness)
health (toxic drug emergency)
discrimination and hate (anti-Indigenous, homelessness, people with disabilities)

Note: We offer a printer-friendly (low ink, text-only) version of the community brief below.

If you want an even shorter summary, please see our one-page, double-sided sheet below, under Tools.
