Recently, Strathcona residents recieved a notice in their mailboxes.
Christine Louie, a researcher at Simon Fraser University ,is conducting an online survery of Public Opionion regarding Street Prostitiution in the Downtown Eastside. In 2006, the House of Commons Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws agreed unanimously that Canada's prostition laws need to be changed, but they could not agree on how to change them.
The purpose of the survey is to ask residents and business persons in the Downtown Eastside and Strathcona rea about their experiences, feelings and opinions about street prostitution and what they think should be done to reform prostitution law. The survey focuses on the effects of prostitution on residents and businesses, and on opinions about prostitution laws and policy alternatives.
Christine's hope is that this research will help inform policy development and law reform relation to prostitution. The survey takes between 5-20 minutes to complete, and can be found at www.DTESStrathconaSurvey.ca
Anonymity is guaranteed. Your participation would be an invaluable contribution to this study. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact Christine Louie at cglouie@sfu.ca
