“To pull the Community Housing Fund is actually a threat to public health writ large... It's like asking a carpenter to build you a bookshelf … and then they take away half the wood,” @susankimyyj.bsky.social www.biv.com/news/real-es... #yyj #bcpoli #ubcm26

We need a lot more street trees shading people in public spaces, as well as heat pumps in homes and public buildings, and a lot less extraction and burning of fossil fuels. The deadly 2021 heat dome was just a symptom of what fossil fuels are doing to our home. #bcpoli #ubcm26

"Local government representatives endorsed a resolution... to allow wheelchairs and three- and four-wheeled mobility scooters on bike routes." @davethompsonvic.bsky.social said sends a “clear message” that the province needs to modernize the rules. #ubcm26 #bcpoli #yyj #wheelchair

We and @seniorsforclimate.bsky.social Victoria organized this Earth Week ride and roll to push for this change. Hope that #UBCM26 delegates will vote in favor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw5b... #yyj #bcpoli

#UBCM26 delegates will be voting on a resolution to welcome wheelchairs and (3&4 wheel) mobility scooters on bike and roll routes across the province. Maybe today? @cheknews.ca interviewed @davethompsonvic.bsky.social about this important climate justice initiative in Feb. #yyj #bcpoli

Online harassment, personal attacks and hostile public debate are adding to the pressures elected officials deal with, yet they often don’t have access to mental health supports through their workplace.

UBCM is developing resources to ensure support is in place when it's needed.

I feel very lucky to be in the hall for this session.

The Union of BC Municipalities @ubcm offers some of the most practical, calm, nuanced information on our province's biggest challenges and opportunities.
