After setting up a blockade to protect their land, community, and sacred headwaters Wedzin Kwa from Coastal GasLink’s planned fracked gas pipeline, the Wet’suwet’en Nation has faced militarized raids from the RCMP. We must protect the rights of land defenders.

My students have accepted their circumstances, pulled up their socks and made the best of this year.

[ThingsMrGSays @mrbgilson]

It has not been a lost year. This is offensive. My students worked hard, to write this year off insults their effort.

Powerful artwork by Cyrena Halbig a student in my SJ12 class. “BIPOC joy is a protest” @cyrenas_art

What an emotional rollercoaster. So excited to fill out my census, so sad that I got the short form. #Census2021

@nico1e @SalishSecondary Do you have these in English? Would you share?❤️

"Cases are doubling in Canada's largest city every 6-8 days, Smith told CBC Radio. He called on people to "get serious" about physical distancing, masking, handwashing & limiting gatherings. HEY! We'd like to, BUT in #bced we CANT do these things. https://t.co/tA9hJccB46

[Teri Mooring🇨🇦 @TeriMooring]

The MoE just made our point, in my opinion. I respect the fact that physical distancing was required to film this ad. We’re asking for the same with students in real classrooms in September. #bced

So let me get this straight: Black Lives Matter protesters are tear gassed for protesting the murder of George Floyd, but MAGA protesters are left alone for bringing AR-15s inside state capitols?

[Matt Westphal @vauvent]

Excellent thread. @jjhorgan said people would not be forced back to work if they did not feel safe, and govt docs spoke of accommodating vulnerability from age and medical conditions. Yet some districts refusing. How will plan for #bced work if many teachers on medical leave?

[samara bassett @samarabass]

The LT election cycle is underway and the candidates are hot on the campaign trail. No voter apathy in this group. Teaching gov’t is my favourite unit! #ltslearns #sd36learn #parledu

[samara bassett @samarabass]

I’m super excited for the next group of teachers to have this amazing experience. Have a wonderful time @nico1e! #parledu

[Nicole Jarvis (She/Her/They/Them) @nico1e]

One week until I fly to Ottawa for the Teachers’ Institute on Parliamentary Democracy. Super grateful to @samarabass and @L_Hutchison for telling me about this opportunity! Excited to dive deep in my own learning for a whole 5 days. https://t.co/hPU0CWcQZh @LoPResearch
