    A Piece of Glass

    With the 2010 Olympics rapidly approaching, many people are concerned about the issue of homelessness in Vancouver. "A Piece of Glass" is a facebook group desined to serve as a discussion forum to raise awareness about this important topic. It's creator, Tim Travis, discusses the problem as he sees it.

    Out of all the places I've been I have really noticed the homeless problem here in Vancouver, one of the most affluent cities I've seen. Could this be because homeless can support themselves off of the spare change of Robson St. shoppers? Do Vancouverites enable and bring the problem on ourselves?

    Way to go, Kristin. I, too, believe this is the biggest issue facing Vancouver. I find it inconceivable that such an amazing city, with all its wealth, has such an enormous homeless population. Jeff - I'll check out your facebook group. What a great idea.

    This is BY FAR the biggest issue facing Vancouver. I started a group on Facebook called "Canadian Tire Money: Helping The Homeless", and have already raised enough to buy homeless people 60 sleeping bags, 120 pairs of socks and 50 thermal blankets. I'm still running the group, so go to your facebook...find my group, join it, and send in your spare Canadian Tire Money! Link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2361803750

    I commend you for speaking up on this subject. There are homeless people everywhere. I hope that something will be done for these people, and you have taken a big step in doing that. God Bless You. Kathy
