Hi, I think you tagged the wrong Laura.

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

Hi, I’m Richmond City Councilor Laura Gillanders!
I’m proud to recognize the celebration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Week.

Out and About: Indigenous Day celebrated at the Cannery in Steveston The celebration also focused on women's connections to the fishing and canning industry.

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

Tell me more! I thought I saw a beaver in Steveston on Thursday

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

Check out the creative and vibrant new Fishers Walk experience in Steveston, BC! Tourism Richmond did a great job on this and it turned out even better than I had imagined. #RichmondBC #Steveston

Richmond stays on social media platform X for now Richmond communications director says Bluesky is a "slow-moving platform."

I had no idea about the recent motion and appreciate that
@lauragillanders.bsky.social raised this. It was amended for the City of Richmond to stay on Twitter - but they are also posting @cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social if you want to follow them here.

More than 2,000 condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver amid housing crisis - BC | Globalnews.ca Bryan Yu, a chief economist with Central 1, told Global News that despite the availability, buyers still seem to be hesitant to purchase homes.

The housing crisis needs family-sized purpose built rental housing and family-sized strata units. Condos for investors can't be rented out if they aren't owned by anyone. #supplyforwhom #housing globalnews.ca/news/1118681...

Good letter by #RichmondBC resident @dickey4council.bsky.social . Lots of different thoughts about this issue.

Border town business 'completely destroyed' by U.S. trade war, forced to close Amid fears of bankruptcy, a family-run business in Point Roberts, Washington, is shutting down after 24 years.

I feel sad for our American neighbours suffering financial loss because of their president. All of this hardship intentionally created to both sides is a tragedy. I hope most businesses can ride this unnecessary wave. #canadausrelations #smallbusiness

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
