The whales can't vote. Vancouver residents can.
ABC and Vancouver Liberal Park Board Commissioners voted down stronger protections for marine wildlife.
If you want leaders who will stand up for Vancouver's coast, parks, and wildlife, vote for the Vancouver Greens.

My message in today's Vancouver Sun: A city that forgets its parks, forgets its people.
If Vancouver wants to remain a city for people, we need to protect and strengthen the public spaces that hold communities together #vanpoli#vancouver#parks#bcpoli

Whales are returning to Burrard Inlet. Our rules need to catch up. Tell the Park Board to support Tom Digby's motion before June 1!

I'm honoured and incredibly grateful to be receiving Canada's highest honour for volunteers, the Sovereign’s Medal.
Volunteering has given me the chance to work alongside so many caring people who are making a difference in their communities each day #vanpoli#vancouver#bcpoli
Great turnout for the opening of the new Kits Beach basketball court! It was nice to see people of all backgrounds & abilities united through sport and shared public spaces. It doesn't matter if you're a pro or playing for the first time #vanpoli#vancouver#kitsbeach#kitsilano
Vancouver’s waterways have always been close to me & last night I met with water recreation leaders to discuss safer waterways, better access, stronger club support, and protecting lifeguards
Our waterways help make Vancouver special, and they deserve far more attention #vanpoli
I’m excited to be teaming up with BC’s Seniors Advocate to host a community discussion on how Vancouver’s parks and recreation spaces can better support the comfort, safety, and accessibility needs of seniors.
Join us for the convo: https://t.co/jUXXlSwvy3

With author Lorna Schultz Nicholson & illustrator Emma Fitzgerald, I traced the starting path of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour & spoke with community members about accessibility in our city—what’s working & what should change. Progress starts with listening #vanpoli#vancouver
With volunteers for Free the Fern, I spent today helping remove invasive species along the Red Alder Trail. Together we cleared 1,400L of invasive plants!
I'm grateful to be part of this work, and excited to keep building a healthier, more connected Vancouver #vancouver#vanpoli
Excited to be hosting a series of convos with Vancouverites to better understand how our parks & recreation spaces are working, & where things are falling short
Each session has a specific topic and you're invited to join the discussion! #vanpoli#bcpoli

Vancouver Park Board is asking City Council to set aside $1.43 billion in the 4-year capital plan through 2030 for new/improved parks & recreation facilities.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is accused of crossing a line by issuing a news release about his campaign promises from an official city channel.
University of BC political science professor Stewart Prest said using city letterhead and taxpayer-funded staff to release election promises blurs the lines between a politician’s office and their campaign.
“It is not the City of Vancouver that is pursuing that agenda. And so, to separate those kinds of communications makes it easier for voters to understand what’s going on and avoids that perception" via @CTVNewsBen #VanPoli

When we turn the clocks ahead on March 8, it will be the last time change ever for BC. We're changing to a permanent daylight saving time, simply called Pacific Time (PT).

@DailyHiveVan I think @wazaroff is right to note Britannia needs SPECIFIC attention. Endless research shows this as a noteworthy and underserved community (pink areas). @VanGreens have also done a good job kept this site in the conversation.
Please make some progress here.
