I’m moving a motion to do that this week. So that communities have options despite cuts to cooling kits.

So what can we do to better prepare these neighbourhoods for dangerous heat? Increase tree canopy cover in the long term, yes. But temporarily, we can support communities in installing temporary canopies for shade!

Did you know East and South Vancouver have less tree canopy than the rest of Vancouver? And why does it matter? Shade in urban areas is one of the most effective ways to reduce the impacts of dangerous heat.

Currently, only half of Vancouver families in need of childcare can access it near their homes. The current rate of childcare centre development is simply insufficient to close this deficit quickly enough. That’s why I’m moving a motion to accelerate the development of childcare centres in our city!

Important motion from OneCity councillor Lucy Maloney coming to council next week ⤵️

ok... my first stab at a Vancouver starter pack. Attempting to recreate twitter from days of yore, when there was a good mix of Vancouver media, politicians, experts, frustrating blowhards, and interesting weirdos. A strong housing and sustainability bias, of course. go.bsky.app/PzH4RoP

On the picket line today supporting the our local nurses, including my sister, in their fight for fair wages, safer working conditions, and better benefits.

Thank you for the support @brandonyan.com!

What an excellent way to spend a Sunday, out talking with Vancouverites about how we can elect a new progressive government in October and build a city where we can all belong. Thanks to our volunteers who joined us in the doors and everyone who made the time to talk with us! #vanpoli

A Montreal-style seasonal operation of the wildly popular Granville Street Pedestrian Zone? I was able to progress this vision of Granville Street during this week’s Special Council Meeting to extend the Pedestrian Zone beyond the completion of the Men's World Cup. Read my update here.

Did you know that Metro Vancouver is one of the only regions in North America without a low-income transit pass?

Rally today at Metrotown Station from 12-1:30pm!

See you there tomorrow! 🚎

A win! Council unanimously supports cooling rights for renters in Vancouver by ensuring landlords can’t ban cooling devices. Thank you to @lucymaloney.bsky.social & @seanorr.bsky.social for your leadership on this and for recognizing First United's work. This will save lives.

I'll be speaking in support at council this morning, thank you to @lucymaloney.bsky.social, @seanorr.bsky.social, and many advocates for supporting this essential, life saving policy. www.biv.com/biv-rss-link...

The Vision Zero action plan is up to council now. We won't live-thread the entire meeting but will provide updates in this thread 🧵 We've had some disagreements with city staff in the past but we have to say that here they've presented an excellent plan.

Well said. Everyone benefits from safer streets and this work will save lives.

A low-income transit pass is long overdue. Transit riders, let’s unite to make it a reality before the July 1 fare increases. Add your voice by signing the petition or connecting with your MLA. win.newmode.net/move...

This is essential, life saving work, thanks a motion from @lucymaloney.bsky.social last summer. Email city council or sign up to speak in support by Monday June 1st at 5pm ⤵️

I’m inspired by the work being done in New York, Mayor Mamdani and his team are delivering: • More homes for more neighbours • An easier way to build & get to yes • Reforming a Peoples’ Builder for more affordable homes In October, we’ll do the same right here in Vancouver.

I am proud to accept the endorsement of the Vancouver and District Labour Council. Every single Vancouverite deserves an affordable home, strong public services, a good job, and a living wage. We’ll return respect for workers to City Hall when we retake the Mayor’s Office on October 17 #vanpoli

By now, you might have heard that Mayor Ken Sim is trying one more time to roll back Vancouver’s green building standards, by bringing back a motion on May 20th which will effectively gut good climate policies in new building development. (1/7)

Justice for Janitors ✊

As if AI's reputation wasn't bad enough!

Meet the OneCity team for 2026! This October, we’re sending Ken Sim and ABC packing, and electing progressive champions up and down the ballot.

The Georgia Straight has a great piece up on the closure of Take Your Time Back. Luis, Buo Wen, and Dayton built something rare on Kingsway, and they tell the story themselves. I get a few words in near the bottom. Worth a read. www.straight.com/music/take-y...

Come join us and celebrate all the hard work of nominees. Hero’s Welcome on Main.

Every neighbourhood for everyone. In October 2026, we’re going to run & win a practical progressive majority that will build the housing we need. This looks like missing middle housing for families & workers in every neighbourhood, including Shaughnessy.

This kind of behaviour has no place in City Hall, or any workplace, quite frankly.

News release: @guyfelicella.bsky.social returning proclamation awarded to him by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim after Sim and ABC councillors’ move to block downtown OPS. “Not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

Today @lucymaloney.bsky.social is introducing a motion to protect Vancouverites from dangerous heat, and it’s more timely than ever. (1/6) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today, Ken Sim and ABC killed an overdose prevention site that Vancouver Coastal Health has been working towards for years. (1/6)

Congratulations to my non-profit housing peer Stephanie Allen on her upcoming nomination for Mayor. I have always enjoyed grabbing coffee together and talking through meaningful issues. I know she’ll bring an important perspective to the campaign. I look forward to seeing her on the trail!

I hear BlueSky can have you up and running in 2 months!

They got my good side.

"Proposed bike lane cancelled after failing to get approval from every living and deceased resident within 25 km."

Tonight's OneCity nomination candidate event was so great. So many people, including lots of new folks. Enthusiastic and amazing candidates. This feels big. We're at the start of something here. ❤️

Great night! Thanks to everyone for being there.

Big news. OneCity, COPE, and the Greens have signed a Progressive Unity Agreement. We did the hard work, and we got it done. Here's what it means and why it matters.

I love seeing these pop up around town!

The out of school care crisis is going from bad to worse with parents waiting up to five years for a spot. It doesn’t have to be this way! I’m looking forward to presenting a motion supporting more OOSC across the city. www.onecityvancouver.ca/more_out_of_...

Today, Mayor Ken Sim, on behalf of Vancouverites, leveraged investments in Ontario as a reason to complain that the Province and the Federal Government are failing to invest in Vancouver. I have some things to say about this. 1/12 #VanPoli #CANPoli🇨🇦 #YVR

We need to go taller, denser, and faster. That's why we're taking bold steps to meet the scale of our housing crisis by combining and accelerating the next phases of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan.

The impact of Stephen Lewis’ lifelong commitment to social justice and human rights is extraordinary. His legacy will live on with everyone he knew and all that were inspired by him. Beautiful piece by @sethdklein.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/31/o...

It’s good to see real movement on the stalled "Bring Back Britannia" project. Pro-growth means getting things built, and I want to see shovels in the ground. But wait, what is the actual benefit for the neighbourhood? Will they share this facility with the public?

Good. It is essential Ken Sim is held accountable for spreading harmful misinformation. Sean and our city deserve better.
