How much longer before we see hired, hard-ass, private security teams dealing with challenges like this👇because our elected officials, our police departments and our social & health care systems seem to be failing at implementing long term, effective solutions? #vanpoli

2. My intention was to ensure we hear all perspectives about the SLO program---most importantly those of our great diversity of students in our schools. I have always been committed to an education system that is free of racism & discrimination. @SAHoffman @NPAVancouver

[鮑輝祥Fraser Ballantyne @Frasergb]

1.I'm sorry I misspoke at last nights Bd Mtg. My comments were in NO way intended to detract from the importance of hearing from the Black, Indigenous & other racialized students & communities. I sincerely apologize to those who were offended by my comments regarding the SLO pgm

[Suzanne Hoffman @SAHoffman]

Thinking about #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay and the collective work that lies ahead. #thankful for the work across #bced with Indigenous communities and a ‘shout out’ to @VSB39Indigenous for their leadership. #drummingacrossBC was amazing @VSB39

I pledge to oppose racism and hate and know that all #vsb39 trustees oppose racism and hate. I commit to speaking up to oppose racism and hate in all its forms. #DifferentTogether
