Christmas in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver
Christmas in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver – Follow my blog at hammyrevenge.blogspot.ca This video was produced on Christmas eve, with the Windows Movie Maker Program. All the pictures were taken with my Panasonic Digital Camera. Often referred to as the poorest postal code in Canada, the Downtown East-side of Vancouver is an area that receives substantial, financial support. Although it is apparent to anyone walking or driving through that the trickle down effect does not help these funds make it to those who need the help. Quite a few of the support agencies receiving provincial and federal money to operate in this neighborhood are in fact located behind locked bars and their doors never open to help these people. One agency always has it’s doors open and I included a shot of their sign. I do not mean this to be in bad taste and if it helps anyone at all I am happy I made it.
