Governor General visits the downtown eastside

Vancouver's Downtown Eastside will see a pair of special visitors today, Governor General Adrienne Clarkson and her husband John Ralston Saul.
They'll be taking a tour of the poorest neighbourhood in Canada with Mayor Larry Campbell. Clarkson will visit United We Can recycling and the Portland Dental Clinic. Both have been success stories in the downtown eastside.
The tour wraps up at the Inter-urban Art Gallery. The Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and the Anti Poverty Committee hope to meet with Clarkson and her husband to show them the areas not on the tour, to give a different perspective.
