Goodbye, Vancouver! We had a wonderful time in this beautiful city. Thanks @visionzerovancouver.ca for hosting us this weekend. We finished our trip here in the best way possible: with a Canucks game and a ride back to the hotel on TransLink with lots of other hockey fans. On to Portland!

Don’t forget, if you happen to be in Paris any time until mid December, I hope you’ll check out our unique EXHIBITION at Paris City Hall on bold climate action through better city-building!
