⏰ Ugh. Will the makers of Google and Office and Doodle and all the other calendar and scheduling software, figure out that a third of Canada isn't falling back one hour, before Nov 1? I sure hope so. But I'll bet not. I predict minor scheduling chaos. 😱
I can’t attend, but this sounds like a lovely night to support the climate for folks in #yyj. (And it’s only $15.)

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.
“The bottom line here is that it’s not really about money because the money is small compared to something like the money put toward the [FIFA] World Cup,” said Black. “It’s really about a lack of vision and a lack of understanding about how heritage fits into our communities.” #bcpoli #yyj #cdnhist
Kelly B@kellyblack.ca · 3mo ago“Black pointed to the old courthouse in Bastion Square, which has heritage value & no designation. It has been sitting empty since 2015. “This further reinforces the point that the province has tried nothing & are all out of ideas regarding provincial heritage”” www.timescolonist.com/local-news/o...

Do you know about soccer tennis? Saturday nights are tournament night for the sport on the Granville Street Pedestrian Zone, & these teams are no joke! Nice way to cap off a great day on the people-street. Overheard one family talking about how they “can’t believe how great Granville Street is now.”
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe Big Apple bench is going in. The ball chairs that were all soccer balls during the World Cup, now reflect all sorts of summer sports you can watch on Granville Street patios. Tonight’s Dominican Street Dance drew a crowd. And simple games help make the street magnetic. Week Two looking good.
