It’s the end of tree planting season in Vancouver. This year, the team put thousands of trees in the ground, focusing on some of the lowest canopy areas to better support residents through increasingly hot summers. Learn more about the Urban Forestry team: https://t.co/5GtG2Zk1Ee

An average of 478 new cases of #COVID19 announced in B.C. for the last three days, a 33% increase over last weekend, as the 4th wave continues to do 4th wave stuff absent provincewide changes in policy.

Hospitalizations over 100 for the first time since July 1.

Today's chart.

Four days since the last update on COVID numbers in BC? No Bueno.

@WoodfordinDK @jodyvance @SSTSundhed @SSTbrostrom Hey Shane, I really enjoyed hearing your segment with Jody the other day, esp. your thoughts on the abysmal testing rates in BC. Hope you & your fam are well!

This is the chaos that makes New York City come alive in the dark.

Before the Delta variant heightened anxieties, 40 photographers and nine reporters captured the performances, house parties, bars and dance floors that made the city feel alive again. https://t.co/ts1Us48EG5

this is why I tolerated the massive Italy victory party on Commercial Drive last weekend. 70% vaxx rate for our under-30s… who clearly needed to blow off some steam.

Time for universal free vaccines, people

Getting scam Service Canada calls from ‘vintage’ Vancouver phone numbers pisses me off even more than usual 🤣

[Anna Kalfa she/her @eastvanista]

The #popupplazas at the end of my block on Grant St. at @Commerciald is an embarrassment. Where’s the garbage/recycling/compost station? water station? Proper shade? Washrooms? Or aesthetic style? I’m all for public spaces but a few picnic tables on hot asphalt doesn’t cut it.
