Most recent speaker said 'must not make perfect the enemy of good.' I agree- is #BroadwayPlan perfect? Certainly not. Is it better than moving ahead in this city with *no plan*? To me, yes.

[Rachel Goossen @RachelGoossen]

Listening in on #Vancouver #CityCouncil re #BroadwayPlan. Lots of speakers, hopeful this council votes in approval.

[Rachel Goossen @RachelGoossen]

Sharing your story in such a public forum takes great bravery. To read this thread and many, many others is to be impacted and called to action.

We need a collective global pause. A reset, refresh as individuals and as societies.

[Rachel Goossen @RachelGoossen]

Wow, amazed after spending an afternoon in-person with ~200 #bced folks this week at #bccaise Spring Conf! Facilitating conversation around our collaborative study on supporting students through the pandemic and beyond with @HasinanisaH. Grateful for the time & dialogue.

[Matthew Norris @MrMatthewNorris]

Indigenous youth are the fastest growing population in Canada and deserve the culturally appropriate programs and services that this centre will provide. Services which will help Indigenous youth in Vancouver to thrive and become the leaders of tomorrow.

[Rachel Goossen @RachelGoossen]

Excited to see this project progress with @UNYAyouth and @NVIT83 leading the way!

[BC Government News @BCGovNews]

Indigenous youth should have opportunities to learn & support their well-being in a culturally safe environment. A new centre for @UNYAyouth & @NVIT83 will provide an inclusive place where youth can access cultural & support services all under one roof. https://t.co/FzHcphA9WH

If we can increase the voter turnout by 100,000 voters this year, we can elect people to City Hall who understand the housing crisis, because like so many of us they struggle to pay the rising rent in this city. So please register to vote now. It’s easy! https://t.co/cCmuq9T45F

After 4 meetings and ~11 hours of Council time, 233 rental homes above the future South Granville Skytrain stn have been APPROVED! Read about the gong show below. It's great that this was approved, but we need to do better. This wasteful system just perpetuates our housing crisis
