Bringing forests to the city: 10 ways planting trees improves health in urban centres theconversation.com/bringing-fores…

I've watched this Tim Walz interview a few times lately as it has so many applications in the BC/Canadian context. "They see people less fortunate as scape goats and punchlines for their jokes, we see them as neighbours."

The empty homes tax is a good thing but we need more complementary policies to bring down rents

As an honorary Raging Granny and as a Fan Girl of Knitting Nana's Against Gas, I'm with these ladies...

Today I got to talk with Korean seniors in our community about dementia-friendly cities, antiracism, rec programing & housing. I loved listening to the amazing Jennifer Blatherwick and Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ connect people to services. I'm so grateful to the connectors in our community!

Thank you Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ for standing up for this. The city of #PortMoody is with you.

In a world that seems sad & bizarre right now, I need to say how much I love my local Port Moody Library, & all libraries, as the People's living room- you can find joy, hope & knowledge no matter your status. I sometimes want random ones and they can always get them shared across BC.

Beautiful

Have you seen the report by the The Mental Health and Climate Change Alliance? What youth are experiencing and what they think they need for support (it's not just more education) - So important... static1.squarespace.com/static/5ee0489… Jennifer Whiteside Sheila Malcolmson Christine Boyle Kelly Greene, MLA for Richmond-Steveston Anjali Appadurai

I have such admiration, respect, & appreciation for labour unions. Coming together to fight for fair working conditions and compensation, as well as the right to healthcare, afford housing, good food, and green jobs feels like something we can all get behind.
