Mayor's Task Force Spurns Cope

COPE councillor Ellen Woodsworth feels disappointed that she wasn't included on the Homeless Emergency Action Team created by Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson.

The 13-member HEAT has two of Robertson's Vision Vancouver party mates—councillors Raymond Louie and Kerry Jang—but neither of the two councillors from COPE, Vision's coalition partner in last month's election.

“I had asked to be on the task force, and I don't know why I wasn't put on it,” Woodsworth told the Straight.
