@cavellparent @VSB39 #edithcavellelementary will be a sink hole - $15 million later, the school will still be 100 years old and STILL NEED REPLACEMENT SOON. Why not build new now?

The PDR say it will be cheaper!

@rob_fleming and @VSB39 - we still can #getseismicright

[Cavell Parent @cavellparent]

@VSB39 P104 of this document (has a p.61 at bottom margin) says

Estimated useful life of a building = 40 years

Hmmm...#EdithCavellElementary is 98 years old and plan is to pour $15.6M into it?! In fact we have a portable that’s >50 years old

@janetrfraser Rebuilding #EdithCavellElementary instead of retrofitting a 100-year old building would increase energy conservation. The PDR confirms that @VSB39 would save $1.2M over 10 years with a New Build as opposed to retrofit. New Build = Common Sense. #GetSeismicRight @bcedplan

Too much truth in this article - @Rob_Fleming don't open it if you're not ready!

Let's #GetSeismicRight for #EdithCavellElementary - Rebuild a new larger school on site and save taxpayers millions #bced #bcpoli #vanpoli

@Rob_Fleming - your friends have a message for you

[Cavell Parent @cavellparent]

@andrea_coutu @tracysherlock #EdithCavellElementary told that schools nearby which are substantially under capacity are not suitable swing sites b/c they have district programs

Odd since vsb documents state district programs can be moved for kids in need of temporary accommodation close to home community

[Julie @j38lee]

Seismic decisions now made without parent, teacher or trustee consultation by unelected Vancouver Project Office. Engineers working off @bcliberals policies. Why isn't @jjhorgan @Rob_Fleming changing this? Where's the oversight? #GetSeismicRight https://t.co/66X80PkNL3

@Rob_Fleming @VSB39 @bcedplan #edithcavellelementary seismic upgrade = quick fix #GetSeismicRight

[Julie @j38lee]

No room for collaboration and buy-in if communication is one-way. Asking for feedback after the fact creates distrust from other stakeholders. Don't repeat @bcliberals @VisionVancouver mistakes. Do better @kennedystewart @janetrfraser @jjhorgan @Rob_Fleming #GetSeismicRight #bced

@cavellparent @Rob_Fleming @janetrfraser @awong39 @reddyforchange @OliverHanson @ParrottBarb @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @Frasergb @estiemgonzalez @SAHoffman @GeorgeHeyman @jjhorgan 2/2 The Cavell proposal was generated by a steering committee that is controlled by the Ministry, with the Ministry controlling the project funding. The current process avoids any input from the public or their elected representatives (the Trustees). #GetSeismicRight @bcedplan

@cavellparent @Rob_Fleming @janetrfraser @awong39 @reddyforchange @OliverHanson @ParrottBarb @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @Frasergb @estiemgonzalez @SAHoffman @GeorgeHeyman @jjhorgan 1/2 When the Ministry says it approved the proposal the VSB put forward, it is being disingenuous. The VSB Chair confirms that the Trustees never had an opportunity to vote on or discuss the Cavell proposal. The VSB Trustees were kept in the dark, just like Cavell parents.

[CavellParent#2 @2Cavellparent]

@hzieber @Rob_Fleming @glenhansman The process is working EXACTLY as the Ministry intended. @Rob_Fleming and @bcedplan DO NOT WANT PUBLIC CONSULTATION despite the profound impact on families and communities - they want seismic done fast, not right. #GetSeismicRight #EdithCavellElementary

[Lets Talk VSB @letstalkvsb]

@CTVVancouver @CBCVancouver @GlobalBC @VancouverSun @Heart_Vancouver @pattibacchus @tamarataggart
Might seem like an oversimplification of #EdithCavellElementary seismic BUT ANSWER IS THAT OBVIOUS if you review thousands of pages of @VSB39 data like Seismic Committee has done

[CavellParent#2 @2Cavellparent]

@cavellparent @Rob_Fleming New builds = designed to be usable after a future seismic event. The basic seismic upgrades are not - would have to tear down & rebuild after an earthquake. Why pay more now for an upgrade that would just have to be rebuilt later? #EdithCavellElementary #GetSeismicRight #bcpoli

[CavellParent#2 @2Cavellparent]

@letstalkvsb @Kjell_Don @Rob_Fleming @VSB39 @bcedplan @vsb Extra capacity in a far-flung corner of the city can't possibly address the lack of capacity in the booming Cambie Corridor.

[CavellParent#2 @2Cavellparent]

The Ministry of Education points the finger at @VSB39 for a lack of consultation. But who do you think insists that consultation not occur until after the decision is already made??? @bcedplan has shown no desire or leadership to #GetSeismicRight. They just want it done fast.

[Jenny @Jenny65116406]

@tamarataggart This is about more than a bus ride. This is about wasting tax payer dollars and no one being accountable. It is about kids in the expanding Cambie corridor having no where to go to school #EdithCavellElementary #GetSeismicRight

[CavellParent#2 @2Cavellparent]

Don't hold your breath. @bcedplan and @Rob_Fleming have shown zero interest in engaging parents in meaningful dialogue. Proper consultation is too messy and inefficient. Their goal = get seismic done, not #GetSeismicRight. #DoYourJobRob and sit down with #EdithCavellElementary

[heather zieber @hzieber]

@van_graeme @CTVVancouver @PacEdith Thanks @CTVVancouver let’s hope @Rob_Fleming @VSB39 start some meaningful dialogue with all the stakeholders. Process without people is just politics! #EdithCavellElementary
