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.

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

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."

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
