Buses are coming to Stanley Park in 2027 — great news!
But having bikes & buses sharing one lane isn’t safe.

The movement is growing! Stand in solidarity with the BCGEU as they fight for FAIR WAGES. The outcome of this negotiation will impact all BC workers. We must stand together if we want wages that we can live off of!

We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers, elected, board members, and, of course, the folks that visited us at Car Free Day on Commercial Dr.
Despite some sudden rain, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits.
See you Sunday on Main Street!

The Van Park Board has made a misguided decision to bring a trademarked Harry Potter experience to Stanley Park this winter. As a Queer woman and a strong Trans ally, this is unacceptable. JKR pours her fortune into actively harming Trans Folks.

Pizza Garden on The Drive caught fire about 30 mins ago. Vancouver Fire Fighters were on the scene in a jiffy and seem to have it all under control.
The fumes outside were toxic. This is what @vanfirerescue.bsky.social subject themselves to for our safety. Thank you all for your service!

So as long as the majority break the rules, everyone gets away with it. And the taxpayer will foot the bill without even knowing it.

The public needs to hold this mayor and these councillors to account. This is beyond not ok. Also, who will pay the bills for all the lawyers involved? Often these types of costs get passed to the taxpayers. We must stay vigilant!

Mayor Sim & ABC councillors broke their Oath of Office. The Integrity Commissioner ruled they ran City business in secret, violating the Vancouver Charter.
Rules for thee, not for me.

Plastic talks have broken down more than the plastics themselves ever will.
I have a suggestion. Make the companies who use plastic in their packaging pay for the recycling infrastructure instead of passing that cost onto the consumer. I bet that will convince them to find alternate solutions.
