Tenants began organizing only after COVID-19 began. Safe and responible outreach focused on flyers, posters and tabling in the lobbies of the three apartment buildings that form the Westwood Abbey complex. When management tried to shut them down tenants held their ground and continued to organize and reach out.

“Other than those who can't pay, several tenants have expressed interest in withholding their rent, and many more have expressed interest in forming a tenants' association to address pervasive and enduring maintenance issues. Our first outdoor, socially-distanced meeting allowed us to meet more of our neighbours and strengthen our organizing.”
