Great 🧵 especially if your school is transitioning away from personal devices

To experiment with “old school” instruction, instructional specialist Miriam Plotinsky (@MirPloMCPS) suggests dedicating a few days each week to device-free learning.

When you've got a classroom, who needs a gym? 🏋️ 😂

[BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit @TranBC]

Starting today, drivers are required by law to keep a safe distance from people walking and riding on BC roads.

⭐ If you cannot pass safely, then slow down to the speed of the vulnerable road user, stay back and give them space. See: https://t.co/0PoGn7O1qS

@CastanetKam Proofreading is always a good idea!

RAVE!! KAMLOOPS BIKE VALET!!! I'm in love with this. I bike daily to work, and it's always a hassle when I have meetings downtown and need a place to park my bike safely. We need this in the Upper Sahali area for groceries and other stores, even if it is smaller #Kamloops

[Paolo Bigit Hurtado @bigitpaolo]

I can't repeat myself enough to say this - the bike valet has made it easier for me to ride around downtown and northshore/upper sahali with no traffic or issues... this is your time to consider using an alt. method of transp. Forget about traffic!! #Kamloops

#Kamloops Council voted to reduce the funding for maintaining buildings and other assets as well as the Climate Action Levy—both of which will REDUCE future expenses (research shows that $1 spent on climate action saves $13-$15 in future damages). So, big tax increases later. 😖

[Gisela Ruckert @RuckertGisela]

#Kamloops City Directors Hallinan and Kwiatkowski speaking about how extreme weather events have been hammering our City and its finances over the past decade. Yet Council leans against fully funding the #ClimateAction Plan, which includes infrastructure preparedness? Hmmm...

Amazing!

Today I went shopping for a stranger. He is a 77 year old man who has recently had surgery for cancer. He has no food. He can’t get out.
My non profit, Kamloops Reach, is able to supply him with groceries thanks to generous supporters.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

So our two largest newspapers have now openly called for electoral reform in separate editorials.

When will our politicians finally listen?

Attn #Kamloops - good read.
