Philip Owen [Left] and Donald MacPherson [Right] are architects of Vancouver’s “Four Pillars” drug policies. Now they fear those pillars are crumbling.
In 2001, after much campaigning by activists, academics and public health officials, Vancouver’s municipal council approved the boldest, most progressive drug policy in North America: A Framework For Action: A Four-Pillar Approach to Vancouver’s Drug Problems.
The Four Pillars‘ philosophy was simple but revolutionary: the government should lessen the harms associated with drug use, even if those drugs are illegal. The document made 36 recommendations, including heroin prescription, methadone maintenance and supervised injection.
However, the Four Pillars was passed over 13 years ago. Where do they stand today? This is our 5-part investigative series, The Four Pillars Revisited, produced in partnership with The Tyee, podcast on iTunes and syndicated on campus radio stations at the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University.
The Four Pillars Revisited is written and produced by Gordon Katic and Sam Fenn–hosts of UBC’s The Terry Project on CiTR. Listen to the part 1 below, and visit Soundcloud for the remaining episodes.

The 60th anniversary of CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) celebrates 2014 with events such as The World Tour of Quantum. Quantum is a dance piece where physics concepts are explored and demonstrated through dance. Arts Reporter Dannielle Piper attended one of the performances on October 16th, 2014 at The Scotiabank Dance Centre.
Gilles Jobin is well known for his artistry. By using his residency at CERN to inspire new work, Quantum, it is certain that his creativity is limitless. As Gilles explains to me in my interview with him here http://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/audio/20141015-170000-to-20141015-180000.mp3 while choreographing Quantum, scientists advised him on the laws of physics, their complexities and meanings with regards to how we move and take form.
