Congratulations to 88 Supermarket on opening its new Killarney location! It was great to tour the store with Mayor Ken Sim and colleagues, meet the dedicated staff, & see the work that goes into serving customers every day. Wishing the team every success as they become part of this neighbourhood.

Great to visit Eric, one of @megaphonemagazine.com’s dedicated vendors on Commercial Drive. Thank you to Eric and all Megaphone Magazine vendors for the work you do every day. Please stop, say hello, and support them when you have the chance.

Congratulations to Chief Karen Fry on an extraordinary career with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services. As the first woman to lead VFRS in its 135-year history, she served our city with courage, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. Wishing you every happiness in a well-earned retirement.

Good morning, Vancouver. 🌻

People often ask if I enjoy being a Vancouver City Councillor. My answer is always the same: serving this city has been one of the greatest honours of my life. I made this short video to share why I’m running again, what we’ve accomplished together over the past four years.

A wonderful start to Vancouver Pride Week at the Dr Peter Centre’s annual kickoff celebration. 🌈 The Centre has provided compassionate care, dignity and community for decades. Thank you to the staff, volunteers, donors & supporters who make this remarkable organization possible. Happy Pride!

It’s around 1:00 a.m., and City Hall is looking its best. Another long day of public hearings, listening to people from every corner of Vancouver share what matters to them. It’s been my privilege to chair these meetings, and I look forward to doing it all again tomorrow. Good night, Vancouver.

🚀 Council approved my motion to explore a flagship tech innovation hub for Vancouver. We’ll examine how to better connect our talent, startups, researchers and investors to attract investment, grow companies, create jobs, and strengthen our innovation economy. #VanTech

Great to be back in Killarney, my old neighbourhood, hearing directly from residents. Thanks for the conversations about parks, traffic safety, taxes, and public safety—and thanks to our growing ABC Vancouver volunteer team for another fun evening on the doorsteps!

The FIFA World Cup has officially wrapped up in Canada, and now comes the inevitable question: Was it worth it? Guest: @mikeklassen.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Was hosting the FIFA World Cup worth the hefty price tag?

Excited to help officially open the new permanent plaza at Main Street and East 14th Avenue! These vibrant public spaces make our neighbourhoods more welcoming. Proud to join fellow councillors, Mount Pleasant BIA Executive Director Neil Wyles, and community members for the ribbon cutting. 🎉

Honoured to celebrate the naming of the new Fuller-Findlay Housing Co-op. Janine Fuller and Barbara Findlay helped advance equality and inclusion for generations of 2SLGBTQIA+ people. It’s fitting that their legacy will live on through this new affordable housing community. 🌈🏠

Brian has indicated he’s not running again. A great colleague of mine, but not funny he’s not in these photos.
