About time!
Fewer students are completing provincial assessments and so “the Fraser Institute will
no longer publish the British Columbia Secondary Schools Report Card, which had

Sherry Breshears is a longtime volunteer at Hastings Sunrise N'hood House. Says this motion: "hides the fact that the park board has been working to fund the renewal of community centres, but it's city council that refuses to fund renewal."

HastingsPark is the only park currently not under Vancouver #ParkBoard control. It's closed half the year to public access. Not a good sign for the future of our parks. #SaveOurParkBoard #VanPoli #SaveParkBoard #VancouverBC #BCpoli #eastvan

Read the latest issue of Teacher magazine to see how a humble running program on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside evolved into what's believed to be the largest team of high school marathoners in the world. #bced bit.ly/3TAw1iE

HOW COOL IS THIS! Students from Mr. Lee’s ita Youth Explore Trades program at John Oliver Secondary are raising the walls of the cabin they’re building. By doing this, students learn how to properly use a cordless nailer, impact driver and circular saw.

1/ 🙏 @GoldinYVR; great read #vanpoli!
Think of solutions:
1⃣80yr BC fund 💰 "blends rates" to fund privates to pencil out rental financing transparently?
2⃣Build public housing, of course!
3⃣Fund Applied Skills appropriately so we have skills locally!
