"Committing to a reduction if development cost charges"

Little said about what this means for local govt building and maintaining infrastructure.

Concerning and problematic without increased funding to support public infrastructure.

Let's talk about more funding for local govt infrastructure.

Happy to see this motion on funding for active transition in rural communities.

At the least, kids need to be able to walk or ride to school safely.
In rural communities, we don't control speed limits nor do we have sidewalks. We need funding for AT routes.

The new BC Green leader, Emily Lowan, isn't holding back in her speech to #UBCM.

Let's hope that she can invigorate discussion on making the changes we need to address the massive and expensive impacts of climate change.

Good to hear from 3 BC gov Ministers on Emergency Preparedness. There is good work happening to respond to climate change, drought, and wildfire.
BUT...we need to acknowledge it's not enough.

The impacts of climate change are outpacing our response and it's having major economic impacts.

Learning how other Regional Districts work in partnership with community groups and schools to strengthen food security in their community.

Tiny homes can be a solution to housing crisis. Are local governments willing to consider change?

This is what an insurrection looks like.

Trump incited the Jan 6 insurrection and then criminalized free speech and right to protest today.

The USA is a fascist state. Time for US citizens to face the truth.
