Description

October 23 Vancouver Kevan Tisshaw, the new Community Recreation Coordinator for WECC, declared that the centre would respond to the needs of the whole community, including gay people. This represented a shift in policy, as the centre had previously been reluctant to allow access to gay community groups wishing to book space for meetings. There were still tensions between gay organizations and the WECC's board of directors, however, which extended into 1980.
