A motion from Coun. Pete Fry and Coun. Lucy Maloney last week said that the existing draft human rights plan doesn't have clear metrics or targets to ensure no unhoused people are displaced due to the three-week-long soccer tournament.
Councillors, advocates concerned over Vancouver's human rights plan ahead of FIFA World Cup
Vancouver's draft human rights plan lacks specific metrics to prevent displacement of unhoused individuals during the FIFA World Cup, raising concerns among councillors and advocates. The absence of clear targets could lead to mass displacement and human rights violations during the three-week event. Immediate action is required to integrate measurable safeguards into the plan.
