“There has been a history of lack of transparency and accuracy in terms of the description of the (vpd school liaison) program”

Based on this reporting from @thetyee.ca it doesn’t appear to be getting any better. #vanpoli #accountability

In 2022 ABC promised "to expand the city’s tree canopy by adding 100K new trees to cool down neighborhoods, improve equity for lower-income communities ... and mitigate climate change."

Now it's all potentially on the chopping block, thx to Ken Sim's reckless cuts.
