They aren't paying any attention apart from the apology, that's it, she said. Today is to bring attention to all levels of government that they had a hand in the destruction of Africville. https://www.thechronicleherald.ca//protestors-march-to-d/

[Action Requested] What: Open House for Temporary Modular Housing When: Wednesday August 15, 2018 Time: 4 pm to 7 pm, Where: 220 Jackson (Buddhist Temple) ... The City of Vancouver will be hosting the first open house for the Temporary Modular Housing project planned for the Hogan’s Alley block. The project will prioritize Black and Indigenous people who are over-represented among the homeless population in Vancouver. It will also be one of the important first steps in establishing the long-term vision for the Hogan’s Alley site which will prioritize opportunities for Black Canadians and includes a range of inclusive market and non-market rental housing, commercial and social enterprise spaces, child care and a cultural centre. There is a risk of significant opposition to this housing project and to the Hogan’s Alley initiative in general so your visible support at this event will be very valuable.
