Royal Oak and Metrotown areas are high-density neighborhood combining commercial and residential spaces. The introduction of BC Housing’s supportive housing program at 5389 Imperial Street in Burnaby threatens to undermine the stability and peace our community has worked so hard to build.

Supportive housing programs, while designed to help vulnerable segments of our population, can, unfortunately, bring challenges such as crime, overdoses, substance-use, and social disorders. 

It is crucial for BC Housing to consider these potential drawbacks and reevaluate whether 5389 Imperial Street is the most suitable location for this program. We urge the government and involved agencies to collaborate with local residents and businesses, fostering a dialogue that could lead to more strategic and well-grounded decisions for the benefit of all stakeholders.

We need your support today to get this message across. Please sign this petition to urge BC Housing and the City of Burnaby to reconsider and relocate the supportive housing initiative, ensuring a harmonious and stable community for all.
