Vancouver's city council meeting had to be postponed Tuesday morning after protesters surrounded the doors of city hall and refused to let people in. The group was there to bring attention to a building being constructed at 58 W. Hastings St. In 2016, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson pledged to turn the site, then an empty lot, into 100-per-cent social housing. After some time waiting outside, councillors agreed to retreat to another building in hopes of reconvening later. Protesters were outside city hall, with police also on scene, for several hours, before councillors returned for the public part of their meeting in the afternoon.
