Dear Minimart, 

It’s us: The Peak. Maybe you don’t know us, but we know you. See, your fine establishment is only a brisk walk away from our home-away-from-home office. Back in summer 2018, when we thought you’d get evicted, a part of us nearly died. You have provided Peak staff over the years with emergency tampons, pads, Amazon green tea, party mix, cough drops, Pringles, copious amounts of ice cream, pens, and any other number of sweet and salty snacks to help us power through our production days. 

As a thank you, we figured we’d see just how much our staff can get out of Minimart for $10. Some of us will stay loyal to our values and use this $10 to acquire our most favourite snacks. Others will strategically cash this in to get as much food as possible and save Dining Dollars. Regardless: please find attached 10 pictures showing you 10 ways we spent $10 in your shop.

Sincerely,

The Peak’s staff 

 

Andrea: $9.84 

Brianna: $9.90 

Dylan: $9.61 

Marco: $9.77

Marissa: $9:10 

Nicole: $8.29

Paige: $9.99 

Siloam: $9.86 

Talha: $9.36 

Zach: $8.16

In their statement, the groups called for the provincial government to increase funding for programs serving BC sex workers.  The push comes amid a crisis in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where centres serving unhoused women, those who face gender-based violence, and support for substance use are closing. In July, the PACE Society, a drop-in centre in the area, permanently closed down. In February, the WISH Drop-In Centre closed temporarily. Most recently, The Tyee reported that the Kingsway Community Station, Vancouver’s last drop-in centre for sex workers, was on the brink of...
