Letter: Support Pond for city council

By Scott Kershaw, Vancouver
Published: July 30, 2019, 6:00am

Over 50 percent of Vancouver’s residents rent, yet we don’t have anyone to represent renters on city council. After watching the Vancouver City Council candidate interviews, I will be supporting Mike Pond for Position 6.

Mike shared his experiences as a renter. He also demonstrated a clear understanding of what the city should do with the Affordable Housing Fund in order to keep people in their homes, and get those currently without housing into homes.

Our city has a lot of work to do when it comes to caring for our most vulnerable, and Mike Pond can help lead that conversation.
