Celebrated excellence at the Michelin Guide Awards in Vancouver Thursday evening. Our city's restaurants and bars are flourishing, and while we've always known they are world-class, it's exciting to see them honoured by an international organization like Michelin Guide.

Everyone that rides through here knows that the connection between the Arbutus Greenway and Kent sucks. No wayfinding, steep hills, parking lots, 6-lane arterials... The good news is a motion from @mikeklassen.bsky.social aims to fix this! Along with much needed improvements on Kent. (1/3)

You’ve got until 3pm to check out the Abbott Street Lunch Meet street party, between West Hastings and Pender, sponsored by the @hxbia.bsky.social. Loving this activation of the block and hope it can be expanded to more days. Also don’t miss the Pastel de Nata from Casa De Nata on Abbott.

I’m concerned to hear about what these condo owners went through, and what appears to be a slow response from AirBNB. City staff and provincial officials are in touch with AirBNB to ensure any loopholes are closed and processes are being followed.

These plazas have boosted vibrancy in our neighbourhoods, helping provide “third spaces” for residents to relax, gather and socialize. ☀️ ☕️ Looking forward to the completion of two new permanent ones - Hastings & Kamloops and Bute & Robson soon. vancouversun.com/news/local-n... #vanpoli

In Vancouver, city hall denotes when a councillor votes “abstains” on a motion, even though that legally means they voted yes.
It’s a weird and confusing rule that doesn’t really happen anywhere else in the province, so here’s my snarky story about why it was back in the news this week.
