Summary:
This is a newsletter from the Woodwards Squat. This issue gives an account of the 73 day history of the squat, restates the Coalition Demands (see W.O.O.D.S.Q.U.A.T. Newsletter #2 and #28), and calls for volunteers for 'Witnessing Shifts to Ensure the Safety of the Squatters'. The history documents the beginning of the squat, various rallies, the numerous interactions with the City of Vancouver and Vancouver Police Department (VPD), court proceedings, and the issuing of the injunction ending the squat.
