I'm a communicator, writer and blogger. I tell stories online, on the airwaves and in print as often as possible. Opinions are all my own.

Winter travel can be challenging – but if you stay warm, bright, and properly prepared, you can strut with confidence.

[Robert P. Willis @robertpwillis]

@Cypressmtn I bought a seasons pass, but I can't log into your ticketing system. Looks like November is booking up and you're not answering phone calls or emails. Help a customer out, please! #Frustrated

[Robert P. Willis @robertpwillis]

Always a great address to watch. Follow the thread!

[News from TransLink @TransLinkNews]

Certified young person Paul Rudd wants you to wear a mask. Listen up:

[Robert P. Willis @robertpwillis]

This was a fun project to work on. Hats off to my small team for filming it and comms at TL for the work on making it happen. Do you have your mask for the 24th? #wearingiscaring #MaskupMetroVamcouver

[News from TransLink @TransLinkNews]

.@GurdeepPandher has been on a happiness mission, dancing his way throughout B.C. His last stop was transit, encouraging everyone to wear a mask.

[Robert P. Willis @robertpwillis]

Read my story about one frontline worker who needs transit for his family and the rest of us...and our new Twitter handle!

[News from TransLink @TransLinkNews]

“Don’t shut down transit [more] because it’s going to be a chain reaction. If the workers like us who provide supplies for the home, can’t come to work, where will people go to buy their food?”

[Steve V @SteveVanagas]

There are anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people who still use transit everyday because they have to get to work. Here's one of their stories: Ava, who works at a facility that is taking care of the children of essential workers.
