About this Event
This session will focus on establishing monitoring protocols and prioritizing enforcement to protect local tenants from displacement and evictions driven by short-term rental market volatility. Does City plans adequately include identified solutions such as enforcing AirBnB regulations amongst this housing crisis?
Voor Urban Labs invites you to a new season of Munch focused on improving the City of Vancouver’s Sustainability and Human Rights Strategy for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Let’s hear from subject experts and participate in the discussion as we collaborate to assess how important issues in Vancouver are included or excluded from the City’s planning for the World Cup. These sessions serve as a collaborative laboratory where we move beyond mega event promises to establish the Community Playbook—a set of policy standards and accountability metrics designed to deliver benefits and accountability for the $700M municipal investment.
The outcomes of these discussions will be presented to delegates at the Beyond the Pitch Conference on April 29 at SFU Vancouver. This event is a strategic policy intervention held exactly one day before the FIFA Congress—the governing body’s principal legislative assembly where leadership from 211 nations will convene blocks away at the Vancouver Convention Centre. By aligning our findings with this global summit, we ensure our community-led standards are part of the record during FIFA’s peak decision-making window. Joining community and urban policy experts will be international experts on mega events and efforts to hold FIFA accountable to the fans of the beautiful game.
Join us at the Voor office biweekly on Thursdays staring February 12, 19, Mar 5, 19, April 2, 16. Learn more and share more by discussing these policy areas. Snacks and beverages will be provided.
