🧐Did you know that the original border of Vanco

🧐Did you know that the original border of Vancouver was at Nanaimo Street? It’s true! The plaque still on the outside wall of @theeastcafe (2401 E. Hastings St, Vancouver, BC) commemorates the history of Hastings Townsite joining the city of Vancouver in 1910. There’s soooo much history in our neighborhood to discover!

On behalf of the East Village Vancouver business’s & community, we honour Red Dress Day May 5th with red dresses placed in solidarity & resilience for missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls, & 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples.
“The roots of Red Dress Day can be traced back to the powerful art project of Canadian Metis artist Jaime Black. In 2010, Black initiated the “REDress Project” as a visual reminder of the staggering number of missing & murdered Indigenous women across Canada. Black hung red dresses in public spaces, from trees to lamp posts, creating a stark contrast against the landscape, evoking both sorrow & resilience.”
