@kristenschaaled I’m sorry to hear they’re pulling it. My daughter really enjoyed it!

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

Glad our little Daajing Giids municipal info paper is doing what it can to keep our community informed. Grateful to our awesome staff for all the work they put into each issue.

Look close and you’ll see me in amongst our Fire Dept!

Featured in the Village Voice! #HGRec needs more print communication. Missing #localnews - stories, ads, community events - weekly. We need to reintermediate trustworthy journalism. For now, I appreciate these efforts. 🙏

@nathancullen @MurrayRankinNDP Happy to see the BC gov’t working with the @CHN_HaidaNation through the changing tides framework to recognize Haida title!

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

Grateful to see this long overdue increase to libraries funding in BC. Big thank you to @Dave_Eby and his government for recognizing their importance.

[David Eby @Dave_Eby]

Support for libraries = Support for families. That’s why we’re making a historic investment of $45 million so libraries can continue benefiting communities with modernized technology, enhanced programs & services, and better access to information. https://t.co/hbM76hINmB

@BlackwellMerlin I really appreciate @votesarahfowler. She is a diligent advocate for small communities and an involved and caring member of her community. Sucks to see this level of childish disrespect from constituents and other councillors.

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@BlackwellMerlin @GabyWickstrom @lori_ackerman If you’re putting together loop in us folks on Haida Gwaii! There’s definitely some healthcare delivery challenges on island.

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@cath_garrett Kiki’s delivery service doesn’t get the love it deserves and Totoro doesn’t crack top three?! (My parenting an 8 year old daughter is showing here)

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@GabyWickstrom Sorry to hear Gaby, I’ve really appreciated your leadership. Wishing you all the best.

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@denisagar @OneCityVan Not using all your votes is an old trick called “plumping your ballot”. By only voting for candidates you REALLY like it increases the weight of that vote. Just to consider if you don’t find a full slate you want to support.

@j_mcelroy As soon as those Daajing Giids pins get made, we’ll send one.

@thisone0verhere I write notes and cards from Santa, the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, all that sort written in cursive. But that’s about it.

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@j_mcelroy Love the brief on municipal going’s on. My only quibble would be “It’s the ninth biggest municipality in Metro Vancouver,” referring to Saanich. Literally a ferry ride away from Metro Vancouver. 9th biggest in the lower mainland? Sure. But not all of the southern end is Vancouver

@moemetaorr @nathancullen @JenniferRice6 @gaagwiis5 It’s on YouTube, here’s a link! https://t.co/P0RNnk6oCl

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

Excited for today’s presser with Minister @nathancullen and our MLA @JenniferRice6, the president of the Haida Nation @gaagwiis5 !

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

Officially now a Councillor for the municipality of the Village of Daajing Giids! Haawa to @nathancullen for moving the request forward swiftly and respectfully. To the SHIP elders who got this started and everyone who supported moving it along.

Haawa!

@McCueChris Morning forest smell is the best first smell.

@SchoolFeminist My mayor has a strong dislike for being referred to by official title. Will take a read to see how change was made!

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@sarahkirby_yung @MyVancouver @TIABC_CA @VanConventions @iamkennethchan That the design imitates a basket weave is pretty awesome. Would this be where the old Ramada was?

[Jesse Embree @jesseembree]

@joncoopertweets The two aren’t exclusive of each other. Clearly it’s both.
