Watching ABC struggle to make quorum for the mayor's special meeting to suspend the Integrity Commissioner - I cannot help but wonder if the attending councillors have read the recent IC report, and are ok with the behaviour they are tacitly endorsing

👏🏽Partisan politics aside (for a moment): Walking away from the party apparatus takes a lot of courage and integrity, which VSB Chair Victoria Jung clearly has in abundance. This is not a decision made lightly or without peril, and deserves a lot of respect 🙌🏽

Feels like I have to do this regularly now as this app gets more and more insane. Remember, the real world aka reality aka what the majority really thinks has nothing to do with what this app tells you. This app is now designed to highlight extrem positions and cause division.

One thing is clear – all trustees care about CC and there’s passion on the topic and lots of work to do.

I’m glad the VSB is taking the issue seriously and have already got a report back in less than a month at the next Facilities & Planning meeting. Looking forward to the report so that any misinformation/can be put to rest.

I was asked by @Bambammon why no tiny shelter pilot yet? Almost ten years on I’m frustrated, especially since I got to see a working model that could rapidly meet needs in our region, better than a tent or SRO or shelters, quick to assemble /disassemble. - so I made a video – at Vancouver, British Columbia

“There are solutions available that have worked elsewhere. Greens have been calling for rapid temporary shelter solutions since 2014; Council passed a motion to look at tiny homes and shelters as a solution back in Oct 2020." - @PtFry #vanpoli vangreens.ca/greens_renew_ca…

This is great news for kids and families across the province and #vsb39 has worked with community to create a Food Framework firmly rooted in the need for a Universal School Food Program - thanks to action by @estiemgonzalez. sbvsbstorage.blob.core.windo….
The British Columbia government said Tuesday that it has committed $214 million over three years to support food programs in school districts across the province. buff.ly/3m8jMgV
