A vibrant arts scene doesn't start at the Orpheum – it starts in small DIY venues that are all too often at the margins. Today we're announcing Backstage Pass: our Arts & Culture Action Plan to legalize small venues, protect spaces at risk & take the politics out of arts funding decisions. 1/7🧵

News release: @guyfelicella.bsky.social returning proclamation awarded to him by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim after Sim and ABC councillors’ move to block downtown OPS. “Not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

Vancouver, BC — On Thursday, nearly two years after receiving it, well-known recovery advocate Guy Felicella will return the proclamation awarded to him by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, which named May 29, 2024, as “Guy Felicella Day.”

“The mayor named that day after me to recognize my work advocating for both harm reduction and recovery, supporting families dealing with addiction, and inspiring students across the city with the story of my recovery from addiction and homelessness,” said Felicella. “As much as that proclamation meant to me then, I don’t want it anymore.

“Mayor Sim and his ABC majority have demonstrated that they do not understand what it takes to recover from toxic illicit drugs, or the work required to save lives. That proclamation is not worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why I’ll be returning it to City Hall.”
