The gap between municipal funding for low income transit and provincial contributions is growing. I was glad to secure and extra $1.6M from the province for seniors, but we need an indexed increase for population growth.

Great piece @leadingmobility!

Exempting non-profit housing providers from property taxes means more units get built, rents can stay stable, and more investment in repairs and upgrades.

Under pressure from fossil fuel lobbyists, #Vancouver city council decided to reverse a bylaw banning fossil fuel heating in new homes.  Don't let council backtrack on climate action: https://t.co/1jUpEGi041

@CityofRegina I took the airport bus to my flight this morning. What a wonderful convenience for the people of cathedral.

I walked 1.5 blocks to my stop, paid $3.25 and was at the airport less than 15 minutes later. Public transportation can be a cost of living solution!

Summer means more extreme heat, modelling suggests the # of days over 30°C will go from 20 to 66 days by the 2040s. We along with our allies are asking the @cityoftoronto to take critical action to protect Toronto tenants from extreme heat events

To coincide with today's Planning Commission meeting in Regina here's a quote from Jane Jacobs (1961): "The point of cities is multiplicity of choice. When distance and convenience sets in; the small, the various, and the personal wither away" #yqr #yqrcc

The Regina CMA grew by 4.1% b/w Jul 2022-Jul 2023 according to new StatsCan data (+10,585 people). This increase in pop'n is why diversifying housing options through zoning in established areas (currently declining in pop'n!) is necessary. People need to go somewhere #yqr #yqrcc

Robert Tremblay, co-chair of the @ClimateHubYYC, said the proposed RC-G rezoning is “unequivocally a good move for the climate.”

“We need to be allow more transportation choices instead of restricting them, which is what we’re doing now with R1 zoning.”

The Canadian Human Rights Commission is calling for the swift passage of the National Strategy Respecting Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice Act (Bill C-226). https://t.co/xLh5DzkqYY

@PaulDechene Also, despite that these changes reflect the implementation of policies/plans that took extensive public consultation to achieve in the first place. These changes implement goals & visions outlined in the OCP, Transportation Master Plan, Energy & Sustainability Framework...

[criticalmass.yyc @criticalmassyyc]

The fact that so much time and energy is wasted on talking about where people are going to park their privately owned vehicles makes me insane.
