@saanich I imagine that you are short staffed like everywhere else, but am wondering when Shelbourne and McKenzie were last plowed? I was out there late this morning and they were very messy and still snow covered. Shelbourne was grid locked with single lane traffic too. Any updates?

@CBCStephenQuinn @CBCEarlyEdition God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman - Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan.

@DanThom99876047 @CBCStephenQuinn @CBCEarlyEdition I also like the cover of that song by Sarah McLachlan.

@jumpyGlenys @pattibacchus @bctf @JM_Whiteside .@JM_Whiteside this is appalling. How much more can you cut from schools? My kids loved their welcome to K packages and it was such a supportive way to start school for youngsters, especially low income families. How much did you actually save by this cut?

Treating teachers like professionals is critical for morale.
* Trust their input/ feedback
* If you need to meet w/ them, let them know why
* No unnecessary meetings, btw many are unnecessary
* Don't address issue w/ staff that you have w/ one
* Praise more than you critique

@DrBradJohnson Every little kid birthday party I attend, I always end up standing beside the bouncy castle making sure they are playing nicely and no one gets hurt. All the other parents are drinking coffee and chatting, totally oblivious! 🤷‍♀️

Listening is underrated. It might be the most important skill for leaders.

@HalilMrT4Real Or at the very least where you have amazing colleagues who support you, make you laugh, make you think and listen to your troubles. Not so easy to find!

[Island Race Series @vanislandseries]

The series is about 18 weeks long. Some people will race all & find themselves in shape at Bazan on April 23, some want to start off with a bang at Pioneer on Jan. 8. No matter your approach remember to shop at @QualityFoodsBC (conspicuous endorsement of sponsor intended)

@JoshKunnath Just because it’s precise doesn’t mean it is accurate. No matter the grading scale, assessment needs to be accurate so that students can reflect on what they know and don’t know or can and can’t do.

@otawong Orange seems the perfect colour for a Garfield carrot to me.

[Amanda @Agchem250]

Hey @Hasbro, any chance you can send me a pdf of the instructions for The Game of Life @Pixar Inside Out edition? We inherited the game and instructions have been lost. A lovely 6 year old would be v. grateful!

@francinejenkins @realreporter @SrushtiGangdev @brish_ti @bctf @JM_Whiteside @Dave_Eby @adriandix We don’t close schools or have mask mandates for the flu. We are at risk of a much bigger flu season than usual. Are you going to ask for masks for flu season too? I don’t understand the double standard.

[Amanda @Agchem250]

@otawong Make sure to leave your lighter at home. They sway with their phone screens in the air these days I think?

Hey @mcstravick_kyle, serious Q for you. Curious about your $$ responsibility ideas as trustee. What do you think SD61 spent too much money on last year?

[Amanda @Agchem250]

Also, what are your plans to update the Neighbourhood plans? If you want 15 minute neighbourhoods then will you consult the neighbours or only rely on the corridor plans? 2/2

[Amanda @Agchem250]

Hey @Dean_Murdock, what are your plans to increase capacity at @gvpl Nellie McLung branch and GHRC? This is my 15 minute neighbourhood. With 600+ units going in at shelb/McKenzie this issue needs attention. 1/2
