Vancouver sex workers honoured with memorial
http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/west-end-sex-workers-honoured-wi...
A crowd of 100 gathered Friday morning outside Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Anglican Church, at the West End intersection of Jervis and Pendrell, to unveil a memorial — a retro lamp post with a red bulb.
The memorial honours sex workers who frequented these streets until the early 1980s, when they were driven away by city hall, police and the provincial government.
