In need of a good quality, pensioner priced, used wheelchair. Preferably in #NewWest area. As I do not drive and have mobility issues I would only be able to travel local to view. Thanks for any possibilities.

Whereas I've noticed a couple anonymous trolls tagging #NewWest of late, one of whom has @-engaged me, I've reflected & decided: I won't directly reply to anonymous accounts, but I may occasionally depict & comment as I am here. Our local social media has already suffered enough from such nonsense.
Sometime after #NWP took flak for posting a mistake-riddled, anti- #NewWest AI image, they quietly replaced the original "S***SHOW" image with another, "unoffensive" piece of AI slop. So much for the criticism that they shouldn't be using #AI in the first place! Why not save h2o & just take a photo?
A Facebook page from the Qayqayt First Nation with a photo of Rhonda Larrabee with cedar hat and a fan of white eagle feathers, announcing that Rhonda had passed away yesterday surrounded my her loving family.
Heartbreaking news today from the Qayqayt First Nation. Condolences to her family from all of #NewWest. Rhonda was a strong leader and a fierce advocate who touched 1000s of lives, but her family was her greatest joy, and I hope they can take comfort in memories of that love at this difficult time.
Further in #newwest, a lot of landlords will buy air conditioners and end up paying more in electricity costs to #newwest electric, which will translate to higher rents, AND leave a bigger carbon footprint.
Community First!!!!
So in #newwest, instead of demanding that the #NDP, WHICH ALL OF COMMUNITY FIRST IS A PART OF, stop subsidizing oil and gas companies, we're going to ask landlords to control the temp in their buildings. Incredible 1/2

Happy Easter everyone 🐣! My team & I broke a record by giving out 500 Easter eggs & 500 chocolate coins w/in hrs at 2 events today! Big shoutout 2 @jennblatherwick in #Coquitlam & City Councillor Tasha Henderson in #NewWest for organizing the two fabulous community events!
A lot of joking about the annual Surrey barge fire, but it does raise the question as to why there's no dedicated fire boat on the Fraser River. Just like with the car recycling fire from a few years ago, the fire boat had to come from Burrard Inlet, which takes at least 2 hours. #NewWest
Great story here! So happy we are going to have local journalism in #NewWest, #Burnaby and the #TriCities during the upcoming municipal elections so our communities will be able to tell their stories.

I was able to update Minister Beare about our collaboration with SD40 on the new downtown elementary school, and how this starts a new phase of school investments in #NewWest that recognizes a different kind of school is needed in 0ur older, built-out, dense city... news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

This week I met with the Minister of Education, and continued our work on three big issues impacting #NewWest students and their families. Not speaking on behalf of our School Board, but amplifying their already-strong advocacy voice, and finding ways the City can to collaborate and coordinate... 🧵
Thanks to the New West Farmers Market for having us today and to the shoppers who came by our booth for a chat!
Happy Easter 🐣
Our next newspaper comes out April 16 — the first of our twice-a-month publications.

Great News for #NewWest! The #Queensborough School Bus gets another year :)
Not permanent, and not free, so not perfect, for the promise of permanent and free remains unfulfilled-but still, this is a good thing.

Beer Thursday anyone? #NewWest
#newwest has become the FIRST city in Canada to pass a ground-breaking max heat amendment to its landlord licensing bylaw.
It is now the landlord’s legal responsibility to ensure that at least one room in every rental unit is kept at or under 26 degrees Celsius between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. #bcpoli

Run!!
I guess $80k for World Cup parties is a small win for #NewWest but what we REALLY need is for #NDP to keep their promise to fund the #Queensborough school bus, @davidebybc.bsky.social & @lisabeare.bsky.social. A promise is a promise. Bring it home & bring those kids to school, please & thanks.
Landlords must ensure apartments don’t get too hot under new #NewWest bylaw
