Vancouver to Honor Homeless Community Members in Memorial Ceremony

The annual Homeless Persons Memorial Day event will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church in downtown Vancouver, aiming to remember the 53 homeless individuals who passed away this year, a notable increase from the previous year. The event includes a candlelight vigil where names of the deceased will be read aloud, a bell tolling for each individual, and a communal gathering for refreshments and fellowship. It highlights the harsh reality of outdoor living conditions and serves as a call to action for community-wide efforts towards providing stable housing for everyone. The ceremony, also livestreamed for remote attendees, underscores the importance of acknowledging and remembering those who lived and died without shelter.

Stagnant Staffing Challenges Animal Welfare in Clark County

Clark County Animal Control has been operating with the same number of staff for the past 25 years, despite a 54% increase in calls over the last two years. The department's five officers are responsible for covering over 600 square miles, including both urban and rural areas. This staffing stagnation has led to significant challenges in handling the variety of calls received, from rescuing wildlife to dealing with domestic animal issues. The predicament underscores the growing need for additional resources and personnel to ensure the well-being of animals across Clark County.

Thousands of Washingtonians start their day with Good Day Vancouver

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Vancouver, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Good Day Vancouver to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
