Congrats @westernprof. Well deserved for great work you do in bringing city and rural issues and research to the forefront.

[Prof Jason Gilliland @westernprof]

So honoured to receive the 2022 Award for Scholarly Distinction in Geography today from @CanGeographers. Humbled to be recognized alongside some of the all-time greats in #geography! Thanks to my great @thehealab team & academic+community collaborators @WesternU @westernuGeoEnv

The true cost of growth.

[Brent Bellamy @brent_bellamy]

From my column:
This single block of old 2 and 3 storey, mixed-use buildings (Corydon Ave) has the same assessed tax value ($20mil) as this Costco, but it uses 5 times less land (115k sf v. 540k sf) and infrastructure.

Which one is better for taxpayers?

@gallowaykelly Congrats Kelly on your successes and the great work that you have undertaken. Take some much deserved time to rest. Hope things are good with you and the fam.

@Newswriter22 @jmfplan @MunicipalWorld Thanks for having me involved....look forward to the article. Great to see you again.

Couldn't agree more @jmfplan. This is a really opportunity to plan for a community of the future, an opportunity to decide to build a community based on people. The dollars can be spent on other great initiatives that are designed for people and help our climate. Get involved!

[John Fleming, MCIP, RPP @jmfplan]

Cities across Canada have declared a #ClimateEmergency but do they really mean it? What happens when its time to make tough decisions? This $***M? road widening is a big test for #ldnont & cancelling it could show its not biz as usual. Decision day Aug 31 https://t.co/dIKnIZeyn9

[Sean Galloway, RPP, MCIP @SeanGalloway]

Exciting update and new policies on climate change, urban centres and equity. Take a look.

[Metro Vancouver @MetroVancouver]

@EdwardSoldo @cityofhamilton Congrats.

We don’t make “outside” for kids the way we used to.

[John Fleming, MCIP, RPP @jmfplan]

Wouldn’t have happened without your leadership Jesse! Lots of Staff had an important role-@brittohagan Mike Tomazincic, @mlknieriem Andrew Macpherson, Jeff Bruin, Julie Michaud & Art Zuidema come to mind. Really happy things worked out so well!! Old East community led the way!!

[John Fleming, MCIP, RPP @jmfplan]

How many hours after snowfall would a plow clear this road to make car travel safe? That question came to mind as I rode my bike on this scary sand-packed bikelane in April. Rethinking operational priorities/budgets is key to make cycling an attractive mobility option in any city

[Sean Galloway, RPP, MCIP @SeanGalloway]

@LornaDayUD Congrats Lorna! Well done and deserved.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

We still too often describe streets as “closed” when cars are removed, instead of calling them OPEN to people.

Does taking away cars make this street seem open or closed to you?

🏞️ Reimagining cities in light of the pandemic, and through the lens of health, we should ask ourselves: What if there were a park over the highway bridging our community back together? #NorthVan
