I'm very proud of the Labour Manifesto released by @onecityvan.bsky.social today. We are committed to supporting every worker and creating good job opportunities, beginning with strong training programs for our youth, and procurement policies that serve Vancouverites.
The fair wages & job protections were fought for & won by her union & that meant she as a single working mom could raise me & my sister in a close to middle class life in Vancouver. 2/10
Happy Labour Day! ✊ @onecityvan.bsky.social
My mom worked as a nurse here in Vancouver for 31 years & while it wasn’t always easy, she was able to raise my sister & me on her own and provide us a good life. Her union made that possible. #VanPoli #LabourDay2026 1/10🧵

Excellent ideas! As Chairperson of ArtStarts in Schools and as a candidate for school board, I fully support the Back Stage Pass Action Plan. @onecityvan.bsky.social @myphronesis.bsky.social
A vibrant arts scene doesn't start at the Orpheum – it starts in small DIY venues that are all too often at the margins. Today we're announcing Backstage Pass: our Arts & Culture Action Plan to legalize small venues, protect spaces at risk & take the politics out of arts funding decisions. 1/7🧵
Brilliant idea! Making Libraries, arts, museums, rec., and culture accessible, convenient, and affordable. On October 17, vote @wazaroff.bsky.social and all @onecityvan.bsky.social candidates! #bced @myphronesis.bsky.social

Thank you for fighting for Carleton and for your strong advocacy to keep school lands in the public domain. Schools are the heart of the community and the soul of the neighbourhood. @reddyforchange.bsky.social #bced #vanpoli
I am disappointed that Carleton Elementary School has been permanently closed, and now sits in wait for potential sale. This is a huge loss…👇🏾
instituteforpubliceducation.org/b-c-s-school... An important read! School Boards do matter. They are the immediate connection to parents and communities. They should be democratic, transparent and fully engage with their constituents. #bced #vanpoli @pattibacchus.bsky.social

The elimination of school boards in other provinces is a worrisome trend. To counter it, Patti Bacchus calls on school boards to lead collaboratively, transparently and with authentic community engagement. #bced #bcpoli #cdned #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.org/b-c-s-school...

Get to Work
Premier Eby wants BC to "get to work" - but we can only do that if there’s enough affordable child care. Parents and grandparents can't work a full day without quality child care in place. BC’s econom...

👎🏾Too many private sessions where the public is not welcome and cannot participate 👎🏾Reduced time for the public or stakeholder groups to comment at meetings 👎🏾Removal of the “personnel committee”, which was the only meeting dedicated to discussing the issues affecting staff 👇🏾
👎🏾A complicated process to sign up to speak at meetings 👎🏾Members of the public being discouraged from from speaking on the public record at meetings Join us and hold your school board accountable! Kids, families, teachers, support staff, building service workers, and more deserve our support!
Appreciate the opportunity to give input into BC Budget 2026 through the SSCFGS. Comments by the Institute for Public Education (IPEBC) are referenced several times in the report. Now government needs to act on our recommendations. #bced #bcpoli www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentar...
