## Resource

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is going to war with the province over its rollout out of the involuntary care program. Sim refuses to give details about his plan but argues new beds must be located in the city. In 2024, the provincial government had joined Sim when Premier David Eby announced plans to open high-security facilities for those suffering from any combination of addictions, mental health issues and brain injuries. Sim now says the city is being ignored as none of those beds are coming to Vancouver.
