Today We Talk To Sam Sullivan From CrossFit Play

Late in 2018 we released our first video podcast, featuring Sam Sullivan. But somehow we forgot to post the audio! Here is the episode in audio format. Sam was an incredible guest: inspiring, thought-provoking, and a lot nicer to us than we probably deserve. It's a great episode and we hope you like it.

This is the creation story of laneway housing in Vancouver…and, perhaps, the beginning of the end of the Bartholomew era of restrictive zoning.The protagonist is Jake Fry, a self-proclaimed — metaphorical, mind you — child of Trudeau, who grew up in small-town Ontario and attended a one-room schoolhouse. His real education might have come half a kilometre underground; coming from a family of miners, this is where Fry learned hard skills, carpentry first and foremost among them. This ultimately led him to Toronto, and a career in construction in film and television. It also afforded him the means to travel.So when he and his family eventually moved west, his world view was informed by an intimate knowledge of older, denser places, and an appreciation for living light. He began to work in housing construction, and then one day it all came together. As Fry tells it, he literally lay his tools down in the middle of a job. No more. Time to do something different. Something small.“Small is Beautiful” was the name of a book by British economist E. F. Schumacher which may be unfamiliar to an entire generation of young people who, nonetheless, live out its values today. The idea that ‘small works’ informed an ethos for Fry, which fomented into a vision of a new type of housing. Small housing, a type that suggests a home can be just enough to meet your needs. Not necessarily a restrictive, one-size-fits-all checklist — ‘just enough’ could mean something different to everybody — but the idea that we might need to start building homes differently.Fry founded SmallWorks, and speaking the language of EcoDensity, the sustainability strategy created under former mayor Sam Sullivan’s administration, he softly, steadily, surely began to lobby Vancouver City Hall. The objective? To change the rules restricting the building of secondary housing forms — additional density — on lots with existing primary residences.It worked, and in 2009 laneway housing was legalized. In the decade since, Fry has developed an entire portfolio of laneway homes, co-founded non-profit Small Housing BC (with Bob Ransford of developer Century Group), and is about to release a study showing the economic and environmental advantages of small homes. There’s almost literally nothing standing in his way.Except, maybe, politics. Read more »

Sam's plan if he gets elected for addiction services. Conversation with Sam Sullivan , former Vancouver Mayor and currently serving as MLA Vancouver – False Creek. We discuss the innovative CAST program he developed as Mayor of Vancouver and how it can Solve the Overdose Crisis. THEN a 16 year old tells his story about how he escaped addiction and how he continues to carry the message of recovery.

Sam Sullivan is one of Vancouver's biggest change-makers. His list of accomplishments are long and not many can top the impact he has made on the city.  He is the current MLA for Vancouver-False Creek and in running for leadership of the BC Liberal Party. A major highlight from his endless list of successes is his time as the Mayor of Vancouver, bringing Vancouver to the world. Sam has earned other notable titles, including member status as part of the Order of Canada and an induction into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame. He is also the founder of multiple non-profit organizations, including the Sam Sullivan Disability foundation.  Our conversation with Sam touches on many of his milestones. His love for Vancouver shines as he tells, in detail, the dark history of the city and how we can work to solve it. He works to build community in Vancouver through his Public Salons, in which citizens speak on their passions in front of large-scale audiences.  His knowledge and rounded perspective on Vancouver and British Columbia as a whole is truly remarkable. We hope you enjoy hearing from him!
