Vancouver advisor Larry Campbell describes a worsening drug crisis on the Downtown Eastside.
Former Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell, now a provincial adviser on the Downtown Eastside, describes the area’s ongoing crisis as deeply troubling, citing the growing “normalcy” of people lying unconscious on sidewalks.
Despite initial hopes for a short assignment, Campbell found the scale of poverty, addiction, and mental illness overwhelming, particularly the severe brain damage caused by fentanyl.
He emphasizes that while many organizations are on the ground, fragmented funding hinders effective results.
Campbell has extended his contract to push for concrete action and accountability, arguing the situation mirrors broader national systemic failures.
