BC government will plan a new elementary school in Burnaby's booming Brentwood district. It's the most expensive public school project in BC history. With space for 800 students, it could also be BC's largest elementary school. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/burn…

I’m so tired of #bcpoli govts (all of them) dragging their feet instead of funding obviously needed school space. This is making so many families’ lives more difficult and stressful than they need to be. Enough already. #bced
Danielle Connelly@DConnellyNW

In response to the growing capacity crisis our district is facing, staff are proposing changes to the school space guiding principals: newwestschools.ca/changes-coming… This will be discussed more at Tues' Operation, Policy and Planning Cmte mtg. Pls join via Zoom or in person.

@CityofVancouver Looking forward to the seawall reopening! The Columbia closure doesn't seem to be sitting well with drivers. In the span of 5 minutes there were multiple drivers disregarding the closure - and even driving in the "safe" bike lane. Hope we can make this closure more clear!

Vancouver's "bike streets" are sadly not safe enough for the majority. Tell the city we deserve better by signing the petition. chng.it/bJCnQC7F44

Imagine having your neighbourhood school close its doors to your children even though you're living in the catchment area. School construction has simply not kept up with predictable population growth. Changes in the process are much needed! #bced #bcpoli globalnews.ca/news/10370017/…

#EntrepreneurCallOut I don't want to do the #FOIA stuff. @BCNDPCaucus, you made a mistake trying to charge $10. Anybody have the data for Kindergarten Lotteries by year? What about this #CAC data? Anybody have the data on where the monies were raised and where they were spent?
Christine Valdes@clothes_girl

@j_mcelroy loved your piece on kindergarten wait lists. Would be interested to know how many $$ the city accepted in CACs from developers in the last 10 yrs in these neighbourhoods.

1/2 OK, VSB Coal Harbour school will be celebrated by politicians as "on time and on budget" (@VaughnPalmer tribute; listen to @simisara980 in the mornings) and they will be there to cut ribbons. Reality: Somebody should study the problems; 1) Too small? 2) not expandable? #bced
Schoolless Olympic Village@school_olympic

@HoremansDavid @j_mcelroy @MaggieMac89 Building for the future "The proposal envisions a 10-storey complex with a 37,000-sq-ft elementary school for up to 320 students." This will accept 40 Kindergarten kids/year. Not even enough to cover the K waitlists at either Elsie Roy 42 OR Crosstown 45. bit.ly/390tw12

hi @cityofvancouver has there been any progress in the last two months? This high-traffic section of the seawall is still closed and the weather is turning to spring. Do you have an ETA for a reopening?

Paolo@internet_paolo

Hi @CityofVancouver @ParkBoard why is the seawall closed at Cambie? It’s been a few days at least and there’s still no notices explaining why or how long.

Approximately 270 children in Vancouver about to enter Kindergarten are on wait-lists to get into 15 separate schools across the city. It happens year after year, and it won't be getting better for a while. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

So much for the 15 Minute City. The closest school to Olympic Village is a 25 minute walk. Henry Hudson, the nearest school to Senakw, is one of 15 schools with a wait list. Where will all those kids go when built? Oh right, it’s a development for young singles who don’t drive.

Friend applied to catchment school for Kindergarten and is 57th on wait list. She is a single mom. teaches at this school, and doesn’t drive. Being told there is no room at the school two blocks away.Daughter has to go to a school 40 minute bus ride away. How are you fixing this?
Rachna Singh@RachnaSinghNDP

This is just false. Budget 2024 includes record investments in new schools. The BC Liberals froze school capital funding for 8 straight years. We’ve more than doubled it. Looking forward to many announcements in the coming weeks that will create thousands of spaces for kids.

Reality = Nothing announced in Vancouver! #vanpoli Not even Olympic Village 🏫 @GeorgeChowBC is not talking about David Thompson or the need for a school in the River District. Why? @MichaelLeeBC still not provided any answers on VSB land disposition & enrolment issues. Why?

We have just been informed that my son didn't win the French immersion lottery for kindergarten admission. It's ridiculous that a child's educational opportunities are a matter of luck in a first world country like Canada.

@KeaGru The question is - how many kids didn't win the lottery in your catchment? All those families are struggling to recalculate their future with @VSB39. It's a SAD first interaction with our glorious public school system. #vanpoli #bcelection2024

We won the school lottery in Vancouver, our five-year-old going into Kindergarten will be attending the nearest school, saving us from a 45-min round-trip bike commute to the next option. This is crazy competitive in YVR, you literally have 45 hours to confirm once notified.
