A little while ago, I read a story that found a third of transit agencies in Washington state don't collect fares. That led me to dive deeper into the fare-free concept for the @thetyee.ca's What Works series! And how, if at all, it can be replicated elsewhere. thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

As promised, book launch details! Coming to Chilliwack’s Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve on Saturday, May 30 at 1pm. Come for stickers, come for animal facts, come for cookies in the shape of endangered animals!

As some of you may know, I left @fvcurrent.bsky.social last June — but I didn’t abandon journalism! My first freelance article for @thetyee.ca was published today, and you can check it out below.

#WATCH: Amber Morrison dreamed of a life in medicine. But when #COVID19 hit, like many frontline workers, she went from being hailed as a hero to being assailed as an enemy. She found new life in farming and pesticide-free blossoms. 💡🌼
