We are very lucky to have community support for our @CavellElem Shoebox project! Thx @CarrieBercic, @kcdyer & @Rackets_Runners for books and boxes! On our way to helping many homeless women this holiday.#cavellcares

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

The business case of the PDR for #edithcavellelementary speaks for itself. Thank you @Georgeheyman @janetrfraser for recognizing and championing this. Looking forward to @Rob_Fleming thoughts. We are getting on track to #GetSeismicRight

[Rachel @cambiemum]

Thank you @GeorgeHeyman @janetrfraser for meeting with Cavell Seismic representatives tonight & for commitment to talk to @Rob_Fleming early next week. Look forward to resolving swing site and discussing expansion further. #GetSeismicRight #EdithCavellElementary

@CarrieBercic @VSB39 @reddyforchange @janetrfraser @awong39 @Frasergb @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @estiemgonzalez @OliverHanson @ParrottBarb VSB trustee meeting Nov 26 was a sign of a strong group trustees. #EdithCavellElementary was discussed and strong initial steps from trustees. Our community waiting to hear @janetrfraser @Rob_Fleming discussion. Our chance to #GetSeismicRight

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@CarrieBercic This is why we elect trustees and what the public considers at election time. Take back control @VSB39 trustees
@reddyforchange @janetrfraser @awong39 @Frasergb @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @estiemgonzalez @OliverHanson @ParrottBarb make positive choices with long term effects for VSB

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@Rob_Fleming @BCCPAC Hi Rob - the parents of #edithcavellelementary would like to engage to #GetSeismicRight. The announcement of the budget surplus should allow smart long range plans - #EdithCavellElementary needs a new expanded school.

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

Not sure if you can all it temporary when it is almost 100 years old!!!

[Rekha @Rekha72033796]

A portable from 1920? Seriously. And the VPO is going to seismically retrofit this temporary structure from 1920? @Rob_Fleming @GeorgeHeyman @VSB39 . How is this a responsible use of taxpayer funds?

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@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

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@Rob_Fleming - the holidays are coming. The @Vsb39 is working on our swing site. Maybe you can finish off #EdithCavellElementary holiday wish list
1) school expansion
2) build a new school
3) save bc tax payers millions
You can do it all Rob - just review our PDR!

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@daniel_davies - it was great to meet you at #EdithCavellElementary last week. Hope you will follow up this week with @Rob_Fleming and @bcedplan to help #GetSeismicRight

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@tara_bert @j38lee @pattibacchus @Rob_Fleming @VSB39 I guess we need @Rob_Fleming to recognize it is more than a “transportation issue” as he stated on @GlobalBC tonight. There is still time to #GetSeismicRight for #EdithCavellElementary. You need to engage in the conversation Rob.

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@VSB39 @CarynB11 How can you keep doing the same thing @VSb39. You found a single swing site closer to home for #edithcavellementary. Don’t spread fear and try to get convince parents out of it. Do you learn nothing from your previous mistakes?

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@fixbced How is @VSB39 ever going to build better public education if we have to keep renovating decrepit schools. @Rob_Fleming needs to rebuild #EdithCavellElementary and save 8 million over the next 40 years.

Maybe then we can stop cutting strings programs, resource teachers etc

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

@VSB39 This is the first sign that @VSB39 is finally listening to families and the community of #edithcavellelementary. This is a SINGLE site and a MUCH CLOSER location. Now we just need it finalized to show we are seeing a change
#getseismicright

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

Read the #edithcavellelementary experience. Learn more at the VSB meeting Nov 14, 5pm. We can’t let this be the future of seismic upgrades in VSB. Join the conversation @ByngGreyGhosts @WeirSchool @HudsonElem @DTSecondary @carltonguy

We all need to #GetSeismicRight

[Derek Knoechel - #COVIDisAirborne @DKnoechel]

This thread summarizing key parts of the #EdithCavellElementary Project Definition Report is definitely worth a read... It gets right to the heart of the matter... #GetSeismicRight @VSB39 @bcedplan @Rob_Fleming

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

I think that is because the 40 year analysis showed that the new build was cheaper. OH BUT THE PDR SAYS THE SAME ABOUT #EdithCavellElementary. Where is the economic sense @VSB @rob_flemming?

[Rekha @Rekha72033796]

I read in begbie pdr busing was costed at $1,200,000.
But they will get a new build and stay on site in the end. #EdithCavellElementary

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

Join in the conversation. Our experience is what you might soon be facing #EdithCavellElementary @WeirSchool @ByngGreyGhosts @carletonguy @HudsonElem @DTSecondary

[EdithCavellPAC @PacEdith]

Will you stand with us for (1) consultation, (2) a better swing site, and (3) expansion+upgrade+deferred maintenance? #EdithCavellElementary #GetSeismicRight #bced #vanpoli @Rob_Fleming @GeorgeHeyman

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

And who does a principal work for? Last time I checked they are a VSB employee. #edithcavellelementary @VSB39

[EdithCavellParent @ParentEdith]

Do you think they read their own policies? Proximity to swing site is a listed priority. #edithcavellelementary is told to move to some of the farthest schools IN THE ENTIRE VSB
@VSB39 you can do better #getitright
