It is outrageous that anti vaccine protestors would threaten the safety and well being of students, teachers, and #bced school staff like this. Thank you @mikefarnworthbc for the strong words condemning this irresponsible behaviour. #bcpoli https://t.co/HF34q5wFi0

After such a hard year in #bced, we asked parents to talk about what teachers meant to them and their children. The responses were moving and full of gratitude. Thank you teachers. #ThankYouBCteachers #bcpoli

Some priest, some government official, some nun knows that there are many more children buried, where they are, how they died.

There is no truth and reconciliation if governments and churches continue to lie about how many children they murdered.

At minute 7:50, Dr. Henry explains exactly, why we as settlers, need to take responsibility for all the children who never made it home and those who made it home but suffered the lifelong consequences: https://t.co/zNitvjLRYs

1 in 5 Canadians are rationing their insulin due to things like cost or lack of access... This is UNACCEPTABLE!!

Canada’s economic shutdown hit low-wage workers the fastest and hardest – esp women, youth, people of colour & vulnerable workers. Let’s reject American-style cuts and fight for a #Canadian plan. #ForwardTogether #CLC https://t.co/wyvuZ0nW4o

School dress codes typically disproportionately affect girls. Any policy that tells students they cannot wear clothing that ‘distracts’ others is victim-shaming. If we envision a world where women are safe regardless of the clothing they wear we need to do so much better. #bced

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Tell the General Managers of Hilton Metrotown and Pacific Gateway Hotels to Protect their Workers Now!. Write one here: https://t.co/CzJS7UcrnJ

Finally! After almost a year of pushing, the #bcpoli employer (Ministry, PSEC, and BCPSEA) have instructed #bced districts to accommodate ( or provide paid leave) teachers/support staff after being directed to self-isolate by health officials because of COVID19 exposures.

#BCed needs:
📞Better contact tracing
🧮Transparent data
😷Strong mask mandate
🌬️Upgrades to ventilation
🏫More space to allow for physical distancing

With safe and effective vaccines rolling out, we're optimistic about the day when COVID-19 is behind us.

But we're just not there yet.

We all need to keep doing our part to keep each other safe and healthy, including staying close to home.

Thank you to the Trustees of SD5 for your letter in opposition to the FSA! We appreciate your support! 😀#bced #bced @bctf @JM_Whiteside

[Shelley Balfour @SABalfour]

This school year has been tough, and students should not have their learning interrupted to write the FSAs. Teachers need to focus on teaching, and not administering standardized tests.
Parents, please speak up! Your children have had enough stress and angst this year. Say No!

[BC NDP @bcndp]

Vaccines are safe, effective and will save lives. Here's how BC is distributing its doses of the COVID-19 vaccine over the next few months.

Meet Nisha Yunus. She's spent over 40 years caring for seniors at the same long-term care facility.

Today, Nisha is the first in BC to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

She's not alone. Learn more about we'll help British Columbians get vaccinated: https://t.co/EvbP1h7zUf
