Thank you MLA Valeriote of the BC Green Party for taking time to meet with us about BCEd issues!

It was an hour well spent to share the needs of kids in BC.

Strong partners, strong convictions, strong will.

We will do better for our children if we work together.

A huge thank you to the TNRD Board for adding their voice to our call for adequate school district funding for #Kamloops SD73.

The province can't continue to ask school boards to operate on 2008 cost models. We are failing kids.

More to come! #bcpoli

Every successful music artist was once a music student!

BC has many amazing musicians & artists. We need music and band in our public schools but it's being cut across BC.

Help us save school funding for arts by signing & sharing! #bcpoli

Parents in Kamloops-Thompson SD are preparing a response to the proposed budget for the 25/26 school year.

A $5.7m shortfall will put students at risk & will effect their classrooms, programs, learning.

@bcndpcaucus.bsky.social must step in to support School Boards to fund #BCED

Headed to Newfoundland for amazing learning on moving advocacy to action for FASD!

Youth w/ disabilities were left out of the BC budget in a big way. We need to switch from asking to expecting & there's lots to learn from those ahead of us in the fight.

School Boards across BC are facing difficult choices about how to meet the needs of students with inadequate $$, schools, and resources.

BC has left School Trustees to choose which kids will be left behind.

Parents are calling for 1/

The RCMP shot a child dead near my home. I didn't think I lived in a place where children weren't safe from the police.

Our family is one of the families that feels the inequities of BC's supports for kids very deeply.

It's time for the Province to step up and make real change for us and all the others like us.

Should you share your school exclusion experience with the BC Ombudsperson?

Families should think twice before sharing their school exclusion stories with the Ombudsperson in BC. There has been much buzz and excitement among caregivers about the Office of the Ombudsperson...

I wish we were doing something like this in Kamloops instead of taking away passive park space for a skating rink.

We're all sports and no recreation here....
This morning at the Skating Ribbon. Today marks the 10th anniversary of Maggie Daley Park. And, one way to celebrate, you could skate at sunrise amongst the Chicago skyline to start the day.

Very important background info on data collection that informs school decisions in BC.

Police intervention isn't the only (or best) approach to increase safety and connection in school.
excuse me, "Safer Schools Together" is a police-adjacent organization that is surveilling our online activity (conducting "open-source localized community scans for Worrisome Online Behavior [WOBs]), reporting to government and its other "partners" and no doubt harvesting data
After following up with the ministry, I received this #bcpoli

Thinking of @gracealore.bsky.social who has brought such compassion to her work with MCFD. Wishing you a smooth and successful treatment and recovery. We will continue your work and look forward to having you back with us to support youth in BC.
