Good news for #kamloops. Thanks @bchousing.bsky.social, E-Fry, and @ravikahlon.bsky.social. Housing for our most vulnerable is key for community success for everyone.

🌊Thank you, Kamloops. 💚
Yesterday was a powerful reminder of what community can accomplish together.

More than 175 volunteers showed up to clean our shoreline, joined by 20 amazing volunteers who hosted booths and our generous partners and supporters who helped make the day possible.

Our city is built by caring, dedicated volunteers, and we want to celebrate YOU! 💙
Join Mayor and Council for the Volunteer Appreciation BBQ and enjoy an afternoon of connection, gratitude, and community spirit.

…”’My narrative used to be, there'll be bad fire years & there'll be quiet years. I'm now beginning to think at a national scale most years are going to be bad fire years,’“ - Mike Flannigan, professor of wildland fire at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. 2/2

#kamloops has been extremely hard hit by this policy. The fallout will last for years: fewer young professionals, higher vacancy rates, layoffs & early retirements of skilled faculty & staff at TRU.

The @tnrd.ca library/#kamloops Art Gallery is one of the best places to find gatherings of bikes. And with an onsite @kamloops.ca Community Services Officer, one of the safest places to park a bike too.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
