We demand safe infrastructure. Where kids are crossing, they aren’t walking into a space for cars, drivers are entering a space for kids. Every crossing near a school should look like this.

As a West End resident, I love this idea, although I wish it extended further along Davie Street! dailyhive.com/vancouver/davi…

Here's some finer details on the concept design for Davie Village sidewalk widening 👇

Join us at the Robson Public Market at 3:30pm today, February 10th, for a Lion Dance Ceremony to celebrate the Lunar New Year and Year of the Dragon!⁠ #WeAmaze 📸: @davidgearyphoto

Reminder: King George Secondary, whose catchment is the whole Downtown Peninsula, is not seismically safe and is estimated to be 20-30 years away from a rebuild as part of the #WestEnd Community Hub redevelopment.

It’s important to recognize how having inclusive programs centralized removes kids from their neighbourhood communities and creates barriers to access - especially during extreme weather or transportation disruptions.

Alert: All VSB schools are closed today due to weather conditions. Check back here for updates.

Can't wait to see the entire student population of Roberts Elementary sledding at Sunset Beach this morning! #WestEnd #Vancouver #SnowDay @ParkBoard

The City of Vancouver are making some improvements to the Jim Deva Plaza. The Megaphone will be temporarily removed from the plaza for repair and restoration work. The Megaphone will be reinstalled in its original place after completion of the repairs: bit.ly/jdp3

Thank you to everyone that helped make the Roberts PAC Winter Market such a huge success this afternoon! It’s one of our biggest fundraising & community building events of the year! Finishing at 5.00 pm. #WestEnd

We’re hoping to eventually get our bins moved to the car park on the other side of the school to reduce dump truck traffic on the AAA-rated Comox Greenway to make it safer for kids riding their bikes to and from school, but this is a huge improvement for now!

We’re so grateful to our VSB Trustee @victoriajungvan for helping us to get our bins corralled by curbs so they don’t block access to our bike racks or to Building A. Our Undercover Area looks so much better, in time for tomorrow’s Winter Market! Here are before and after photos:

Off-leash dogs are such a huge problem at Roberts Elementary that the PAC co-funded gates for our kids' playing field. Unfortunately this also excludes our kids from using it out of hours. We've tried everything else to keep irresponsible dog owners from ruining it. #WestEnd

Great to see such progress on our new Coal Harbour elementary, childcare centre and affordable housing!
