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

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.

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.

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...

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
