Surrey Families Need Healthy Homes
Posted September 28, 2011
Surrey ACORN is continuing to campaign for a standards and maintenance bylaw to ensure families have healthy homes. Members living in a low rise apartment complex – owned by infamous slumlords the Sahota family – used their own situation to highlight the need for immediate action from the City. This action has helped raise the profile of the issue, and brought increased media attention to the plight of tenants in Canada’s fastest growing city.
In October ACORN members will be making presentations and providing research to the Surrey Social Planning Committee on the need for new municipal tenant protections and on strategies the City could undertake to ensure Healthy Homes for all.
