Had a great time canvassing in Kits today with Steve Cardwell (@myphronesis), who is running to be a @VSB39 trustee with @VisionVancouver. They have a strong slate of candidates I’m happy to support. #vanpoli

@pattibacchus @georgiastraight @charliesmithvcr @martindunphy Patti, you made people aware of the importance of public education and alerted us to factors threatening its optimal functioning. Your column will be missed. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

This is a sad day. What is our fixation with cars? Why are we so willing to confine cyclists with pedestrians to a tiny space in favour of GHG emitting single occupancy vehicles? Who benefits?

We need this in #BCed

Wow, Danforth. Just wow.

Hey - thanks for the shoutout:) #AMillionLittleThings

My latest @georgiastraight #bced column takes a look at the problem with the @VSB39’s secondary mini schools. Have a read and let me know what you think. https://t.co/C19MHYtqX9 #vanpoli

This project is a betrayal of our children’s futures for short-term profit. How many wildfires, floods, mud slides do you need to be convinced? You’d think someone so well educated would listen to scientists’ warnings. #ClimateCrisis

At VSB, we believe that public education is a collective responsibility. So we’re announcing our weekly blog series featuring news stories from our advocacy committee! For more info: https://t.co/XG8TXr0LKK #OurVSB

Not surprised and so delighted that every time I walk / ride by the @VSB39 @NCTR_UM poles ... there are eager people witnessing the poles! A great step towards the necessary understanding and successful implementation of the 94 ‘
‘calls to action’ / recommendations.

@LesliBoldt I feel so sorry for the West 10th merchants trying to make a go of it. We’ve been there twenty years and it’s never been this quiet. Bring on some density please.

[Patti Bacchus @pattibacchus]

Two years into the job, Education Minister @Rob_Fleming has failed to address this major problem. It’s high time he dealt with it. #bced #bcpoli https://t.co/7BREUGKPbl
