Possibly the first protest of its kind at City Hall this morning. A diaper change-in protesting budget cuts and fee increases to amenities for new parents, and many others. @womentcities.bsky.social

We heard from hundreds of speakers at council weighing in on a budget they still can’t see. The few details available already point to major fee increases and cuts to services. Vancouver deserves transparency — people should know what’s being proposed and how it will affect affordability.

The mayor’s last-minute tax proposal offered no details and no clear plan for how city services would be affected. Vancouver deserves facts and transparency, not political theatre.

Honoured to join funding announcement for Willow House in Vancouver. This net-zero Ronald McDonald House will double family support with 75 suites for care & healing.
Proud that FCM’s Green Municipal Fund helped make this possible. Thanks to the Government of Canada & @rmhbc for the partnership.

Les élu(e)s municipaux sont en première ligne des grands enjeux nationaux. Ils font déjà avancer les choses, mais nous avons besoin d’une meilleure collaboration. #FCM2025CA

What a week at #FCM2025AC!
Municipal leaders, like those gathered in Ottawa this week, are on the front lines of Canada’s most pressing priorities—and we’re already delivering results. But it’s clear that a more collaborative approach is needed.

Pleased to have welcomed Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social to #FCM2025AC earlier today. Municipalities are essential to national success, and only with a true partnership between orders of government will we be able to meet this moment and achieve Canada’s ambitious goals.

Great to hear from Ministers @gregorrobertson.bsky.social, @dleblancnb.bsky.social and François-Philippe Champagne on the federal government’s ambitious goals on housing and economic resiliency—goals that are only achievable with fully empowered #CdnMuni.
