A new survey commissioned by the City of Vancouver is highlighting the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on its residents.
The survey says nearly half of Vancouver's residents have lost their jobs or faced a reduction in working hours.
Mayor Kennedy Stewart says the economic downturn could cost the city half-a-billion dollars in lost revenue.
He's calling for more aid from the provincial and federal governments warning that cities will have to take drastic measures if help isn't available.
