For good or for bad, a conflict of historical proportion forces us to see the reflection of ourselves in the rhetorical mirror. My thoughts on the metanarrative of this war: https://t.co/O2AvuaGA02

As we gear up to our innagural UBC Okanagan debate on May 3, I put together some thoughts on the significance of this event to our campus and our community. Thank you to Castanet Media for running it. https://t.co/3qqqREpcsH

I had the chance to visit the future site of UBCO Downtown today and see some of the initial site prep taking place. I was pleased to be joined by @MayorTomDyas and to provide him with an update on the project.

[Lesley Cormack @UBCO_Principal]

UBCO Downtown will be a vibrant hub of activity in the heart of the community. It will weave @UBCOkanagan's excellence in research and teaching into the fabric of Kelowna’s downtown core and add significantly to the stock of rental housing in the area https://t.co/t5MWePyOah

Interim @TransLink CEO Gigi Chen-Kuo shares how we're providing complimentary shuttles to help safely transport priority groups to their local vaccination clinic.

[News from TransLink @TransLinkNews]

Phase one of our copper pilot ran for five weeks on two trolleybuses and two SkyTrain cars. More than 1,100 samples were collected and analyzed by the talented teams at @VCHhealthcare, @VGHFdn, UBC, and Westech Cleaning Audit Systems.

[News from TransLink @TransLinkNews]

In the coming months, we will launch a second phase of the copper pilot on more buses and trains over a longer period of time to verify the results. The results could help us and other transit agencies inform decision-making for transit vehicle surfaces in the future.
