Supportive Units


Back in February 2021, the City of Vancouver, with the assistance of the federal government's Rapid Housing Initiative, purchased the Days Inn by Wyndham Metro Vancouver Hotel (formerly the Colonial Motel) at 2075 Kingsway for conversion into 65 "supportive units" for the homeless and those in shelters. Great news, of course. Especially for those who like to garden. 

The Days Inn, etc. is a feature on one of my walking routes (I come up behind it when heading south on the lane just east of Victoria Drive), and have noticed the addition of at least two extensions to its exterior. But it was only last week that I noticed the sign, likely recycled from an earlier City renovation project, this one "west" of the 2400 Court Motel, which the City owns as well.
