B.C.’s former chief coroner Larry Campbell takes on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside – again

October 3, 2025

Larry Campbell hadn’t walked the streets of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for a long time, even though that’s the place that boosted him to become B.C.’s chief coroner, the inspiration for the TV series Da Vinci’s Inquest and then mayor for one term.

But after a downtown meeting a few weeks ago that he’d flown in for from his home on Galiano Island, he decided to go by foot, instead of the usual drive, along Hastings Street, the main thoroughfare of the Downtown Eastside.
