Join us for an evening of stories, dialogue, & collaboration - shining a light on the issues & opportunities girls & women face in public space & celebrating women-centred public space advocacy, artistry, & placemaking. March 18, 7pm. Info & tickets: eventbrite.ca/e/women-public…

We're very excited to see Council make this investment in Car Free Days. Let's go one step further and think about long-term sustainability and a way to reduce permit and event related costs. So many important events are struggling!

Women + Public Space: Weds Mar 18 at Creekside Community Centre! Reserve your tickets today. It's going to be a fantastic discussion! #placemaking #publicspace #IWD

Another valentine card goes to all the folks enjoying, stewarding, and supporting these special places in the city. Your presence makes the city a joy.

Happy Valentine’s everyone! Sending BIG love to Vancouver’s beautiful public spaces. Our parks, plazas, libraries, community centres and high streets are the beating hearts of our neighbourhoods. #PublicSpaceIsForEveryone #PSILoveYou Photo: 2008 VPSN Valentine’s at Robson Sq

Moonrise peeking over @vancouverpubliclibrary Central Branch in Downtown Vancouver. Libraries are a great example of free and accessible public spaces! What's your favourite library branch?

Looking for a good winter and spring adventure? Check out one of these spots and see the wetlands in action. Is there one you’re particularly fond of? Let us know!

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay & we’re sharing a note of gratitude for Vancouver’s wetlands and the stewards that tend to them. Wetlands help to filter, clean and absorb stormwater, support flood control, sequester carbon, cool the environment, and provide important habitat...

As we reach the solstice, and welcome the return of longer days, we wish you and your loved ones the very best of the season. May your days be filled with warmth, community... and joyful times in public space!

Today is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities. Good public spaces are accessible to all. Did you know the City has an Accessibility Strategy? Public space is one of the areas of focus. You can check it out here: vancouver.ca/people-program…

Very troubling news coming out of the City of Vancouver. If the story is true, a horrible decision. This is the department that works on green buildings, sea level rise, ecological restoration, reducing carbon emissions... & a host of other initiatives. nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/new…

And by "tomorrow" - we mean Tuesday, Nov 11. Apologies for the early post!

Tomorrow is #RemembranceDay, and memorial activities will be taking place at Victory Square, Grandview Park, the Seaforth Armoury and UBC, as well as other locations around Metro Van. This helpful post by @miss604.com provides the details: miss604.com/2025/11/rememb…

And that, my friends… brings us right back to the beginning: at the NE corner of the city… about 23 hrs, 40 min (give or take) and 86.96km after I started. Thanks for following along with my #WalkAroundTheCity / #WalkAroundVancouver
