A reported cougar sighting in Shaughnessy earlier today turned out to be a Savannah cat, which is a large house pet. Officers captured the cat and returned it to its owner.

https://t.co/sXI62zD9ys has graciously offered to sponsor a redo party for Max. We've asked that it be turned into a graduation celebration for his class as a thank you to all for being such a supportive community. Everyone agrees this is a good way to be inclusive & heal wounds

Vancouver has completely failed when it comes to providing enough schools in the core of the city, and every year it causes stress for parents with a child entering Kindergarten

@JenniferKolbuc @j_mcelroy Totally agreed… this needs to be addressed also.

Hi! I'm looking to interview a Vancouver parent who is on the wait list to get their kid into their catchment school for Kindergarten.

If this is you, please DM me!

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

@Urban_fibre Thanks for the reply! Yes, everything’s working ok now. Is there a long-term fix to prevent this from recurring? This is the second unexpected outage in the past week.

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

@Urban_fibre Internet is out again (downtown Vancouver). Could you please provide ETA? It has been out for about 10 minutes or so already. Thanks

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

.@Urban_fibre Is the network down? I’m in downtown Vancouver. Service has been out for the past 5-10 minutes.

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

@Urban_fibre FYI, my connection is back. Thanks.

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

@Urban_fibre Is there a service outage right now? I’m in downtown Vancouver. Connection has been out for the past hour, roughly.

Since I’m asked this CONSTANTLY, if your city-region is REALLY concerned about “solving car congestion,” you need a combination of smart land-use, walking/biking/transit infrastructure that’s inviting, & a pricing mechanism for driving that’s high enough to get people to change.

BRITISH COLUMBIA’S REOPENING PLAN IS OUT

YOU CAN GATHER IN SMALL GROUPS IN HOUSES AND RESTAURANTS IMMEDIATELY

TRAVEL ACROSS B.C. MAYBE AS SOON AS JUNE 15

HERE IS THE FULL, DETAILED 4-STEP PLAN

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Those choosing to live in the suburbs (it’s not a choice for everyone, but for many it IS, chasing “more house/yard”) aren't entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety & quality of life of city-dwellers. HT @IanLockwoodPE

[TODERIAN UrbanWORKS (TUW) @TODUrbanWORKS]

“We can’t afford to be passive. Sprawl advocates are already using this pandemic to champion more low-density, spread-out suburban devt. Car companies will use it to try to convince us that cars are safe & transit isn’t.” - @BrentToderian a year ago today https://t.co/IEXvkbw60z

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

@Urban_fibre Issue seems to be resolved now, but just out of curiosity, what happened? Thx.

[Ed Hsu @edhsu604]

.@Urban_fibre Is there an outage right now, either system-wide or in downtown Vancouver? My connection has been offline for the past hour. I already left a voicemail message with tech support. Thanks.
