People are struggling. I run one of Vancouver’s oldest food programs and see the lineups growing. Food access is a real issue and motions like this reflect ideas many of us in community have been advocating for. I'll keep supporting solutions like this that come from community.

Councillor @SeanOrr has food security on the agenda this week at City Hall. The motion proposes common sense measures: - Identify City-owned land in Food Priority Zones - Protect culturally significant, affordable retail - Pilot a public option for affordable groceries

Approving housing matters. But approvals alone don’t build homes. The real goal is housing people can actually afford and communities where everyone can thrive. vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

Everyone deserves to feel safe but real safety means investing in housing, economic opportunities, mental health care, community services and treatment. I am deeply disappointed to see this, but not surprised. More community, not more cops please.
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity

The Province has approved the new VPD training academy at Woodward's! This news delivers what we've been promising to Vancouver: a safer city for both residents and businesses. Locating this academy at Woodward's will help bring consistent activity and a daily presence to the heart of our city as we work towards our long-term goal of Gastown renewal. This new academy was made possible with funding from a motion introduced by Councillor Brian Montague. The academy will increase the VPD's training capacity and will help improve operational flexibility. We're incredibly excited to see this academy become a cornerstone of preparing the next generation of police officers in Vancouver.

Found myself in another nomination contest. Honoured to be nominated for a YWCA BC Women of Distinction Award in the Non-Profit Leader category. Grateful to be in the company of so many remarkable women working to strengthen our communities ♥️

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim's defence against a potential defamation lawsuit is literally that some guy showed him a photo on their phone and the Mayor believed it, so he repeated it. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

A police academy announcement in what was meant to be a community space, staged in front of Stan Douglas's work on abuse of power and policing in this community. The irony would be funny if it wasn't so harmful.

Today would have been the 51st birthday of former Chilliwack MLA Dan Coulter. At the request of a follower, we're posting some of our favourite clips of Dan. Hopefully they'll help you miss him just a little bit less today. 🥲
