Vets Occupy Oid Hotel A building which once was the ‘exclusive’ resort of “exclusive” people, began this week to ful- fill what could be classified as the most useful function of its history. when lhomeless veterans took up residence there ending a lone campaign which started. when LPP veterans picketed the hotel in protest against the move to demolish it, and culminated in the spectacular invasion of the hotel by members of the New Veteran’s branch of the Cana- dian legion. The opening, of the hotel is a practical demonstration of how quickly red tape can be cut, and ‘insurmountable’ ob- Stacles overcome, when the people organize to take positive action.
