Marcia Hole (Ward C) just announced her resignation from EPSB. I know this took serious courage, and I applaud her for choosing the difficult but ethical path.

This leaves just 6 out of 9 seats filled on the board, meaning that yet another trustee will have to take on serving two wards.

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it.

An essential explainer of UPC corruption in Albertan. Albertans should care, this is our money they are stealing, our public services they are hollowing out. #AbPoli
Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government.

A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in.

Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

One of the hardest things for us is doing the infographics for the Risk Scenario Estimator. This is because none of us have graphic design skills.

We're looking for someone with these skills who can volunteer 2-4 hours every 2 weeks to help @netgaines.bsky.social with this.
