Eby and the flawed survey years ago didn't even include the option of permanent standard time which is what it should be.

Mounting pressure after Vancouver Mayor’s false claims about city councillor | Watch News Videos Online Watch Mounting pressure after Vancouver Mayor’s false claims about city councillor Video Online, on GlobalNews.ca

This is absolutely unacceptable. Where is the condemnation from the other ABC Councillors on this? Same garbage can escalate in #RichmondBC and other communities where politicians are so desperate they will lie, preying on fear for ultimate power. #bcpoli #vanpoli

I voted to help ensure property owners in the land claim area are supported during this process.

What I voted AGAINST was the mayor's office writing another letter as, in my opinion, the last letter informing people their titles may be invalid caused confusion and distress.

How Canada's buck-toothed national emblem could help fight wildfires | CBC News New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'

Our #RichmondBC mayor Malcolm Brodie has announced that he will not seek re-election. He served Richmond for a long time and it's a wonderful city to live in. Not without room for improvement, but I'd say among the best in the LM. (Perhaps I'm biased).

Thank you Malcolm for years of dedication.

I'm in tears reading this. 31 affordable units being reduced to 10 in redevelopment approved in #Surrey despite it not complying with the #housing policy of 1-1 replacment.

A man and his dog remain with nowhere to go. This is how homelessness happens.

From the richmondbc community on Reddit: Steveston Highway multi-use path feels great to use Explore this post and more from the richmondbc community

Great feedback from users of the Steveston multi-use pathway. I took serious abuse from some for not killing this long-time planned project. I voted with integrity and belief that #roadsareforeveryone. Paid for by TransLink and DCC's. #climatesolutions #RichmondBC

‘It’s like a punishment’: Renters’ golden years tarnished by BC Housing backlog | Globalnews.ca Thousands of seniors who have applied to the BC Housing Registry are waiting for homes amidst soaring need, scarce supply and silence.

BC Housing is underfunded. Ex. 9 acres in #RichmondBC redeveloping but with only an increase to market rental instead of affordable units tied to income. Gov land should never be used for market housing.

Seniors are going to be out on the street. #bcpoli #housing

The Trans Mountain pipeline (built by Trudeau, not Harper I might add) tripled the volume of oil shipping off the west coast. How is BC obligated to embrace another pipeline before building one to the East Coast? Am I missing something? #pipelines #bcpoli #cdnpoli
