Show Notes

Vancouvers World Cup Host Committee unveils a draft human rights action plan, but critics argue its too vague and lacks enforceable measures to protect locals. The plan, released with less than three months until the first game, focuses on monitoring and community engagement rather than funding or implementing real changes. Non-profits representing marginalized groups express disappointment, citing concerns over street sweeps, police discretion, and lack of protections for vulnerable residents. The city plans to refine the plan by May with more input, but non-profits are creating their own tools to protect rights during the event.
