@bcsta.bsky.socialBCSTA representatives attended the UBCM Convention last week, where local leaders gathered to debate policy and pass resolutions.

@beansproutsmom.bsky.socialCorrect. Kids starting #bced kindergarten this year were born in 2021. And yet, according to now Orwellian named Science World, were damaged pre-conception by BC school closures from Mar 30* to Jun 1, 2020.

@beansproutsmom.bsky.socialIn which Vancouver Science World comes out as anti-science Maple MAHA.
Wait, no. They are just parroting BC public health & doctors, amirite, Bonnie Henry, @cdcofbc.bsky.social, @vchresearch.bsky.social, @ubcmedicine.bsky.social ? Something, something about the company you keep....

Sadly, it seems that the full impact of pandemic restrictions on early development won’t be clear for many years. What is clear, however, is how much kids need places like Science World and the opportunities we provide.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:ij4exulujmnsyyveltg2im66/bafkreiedvyukfufwtnzrwvifbrwve6bnzlhh3k64fa56cwlg3cbgzj7rxi@jpeg)
