Queens Park Arena for Game 1. #NewWest is #FiredUp www.newwestcity.ca/fired-up

Damn, I’m proud of #NewWest for leading the country on protecting vulnerable renter. We made the bold choice to protect residents; we defended it in court; we forced change to Provincial regulation; now cities across Canada (see Ottawa here) are learning from our example and doing the same! 🎉

I met Malia Schneider from @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social and Sandra Abstreiter from @victoire-lphf.bsky.social at Skwo:wich today! #NewWest

Happy to be an early signatory of this! While the Federal Gov't continues to roll back climate progress at a rate that would make Stephen Harper blush, Local Govt's across Canada are facing the increased costs and impacts of climate disruption. We need to fight back! 💪

Hey @canspice.bsky.social the streak is alive! Aston Martin still has more completed race laps than McLaren this year!

Watching Monaco, It all came up @brennacgray.bsky.social! Alonso >> Russel

Let’s see where this goes:

Thursday Night #NewWest

We're Getting #FiredUpForFootball in #NewWest. Had a little fun with the CAO testing out the foosball table at Queens Park Arena. www.newwestcity.ca/fired-up

At the Elbows Up for Climate conference in Edmonton. Listening Seth Klein speak. One hour of dialogue so far has been awesome. Climate activism runs on granola bars and existential dread. The fossil fuel lobby runs on petro-$$$ and sociopathic denial of the biggest crisis in our history.

This map is an offence against geography. And Hudson Bay.

First ride on the AAA multi-use path across the new staľęŵasem Bridge. It’s called “Riverview” for good reasons!

Last week I joined some colleagues from the BC Urban Mayors Caucus - Representing the 16 largest Cities in BC (~ 60% of BC’s population!) on a whirlwind advocacy day at the Legislature in Victoria...

One of the real #NewWest jems.

New local art on the wall at City Hall. #NewWest #Quilting #Transit

Nail-biting time. #NewWest #GoBelliesGo

It was an honour to meet Garry McCracken, host him here in #NewWest & ride alongside him on a part of his ride to raise money & awareness about the mental health care needs of veterans, first responders and their families. One inspring guy! www.freshetnews.ca/the-road-to-...

10 candidates talked everything but politics last night at PechaKucha! Thanks to everyone for being great sports, sharing a bit about yourself, and what community means to you! #NewWest

It’s on! #Newwest!

Ribbon cutting for the new Acute Care Tower at RCH! 160 years of RCH bringing care & compassion to those in need - now with $2Billion of investment by the Province since 2020! It was fitting that the health care professionals who work do this work every day were centred in the celebrations! #NewWest

Season on! #GoBelliesGo! #NewWest

It’s the way we do it in #NewWest

Hey #Newwest. Those 21 loud bangs you hear at noon will be the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Battery Salute. Come by Queens Park at noon to see the drama! Bring ear plugs, don’t bring your dog! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

First leg featured a tailwind! #Sufferfest26

If this Mayor thing wasn’t taking up all my time…

Pier Park is expanding! #NewWest

This really is shameful. An internationally famous rail-to-trail route, a key B.C. link in the TransCanada trail, 70km of spectacular recreation potential, lost forever because it would cost almost as much as a single freeway overpass to repair. A stunning lack of vision.

Happy Local Government Awareness Week to all who celebrate! cariboopolitics.blogspot.com/2026/05/bc-l...

Thanks! I hear you #Newwest Let’s get this shit done!

Sorry to hear Punch McLean died in a crash yesterday. He is a Legend is Junior Hockey and part of the hallowed history of Queens Park Arena. www.freshetnews.ca/new-westmins...

The replacement or redesign of Columbia Station is going to be a big, complicated and expensive project. With the uncertainty in Transit funding right now, I can’t imagine it moving ahead soon. *However*, upgrades to make the station accessible shouldn’t have to wait. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Two personal pedantries, I will go to the grave with: Lectern isn’t a podium. “Begging the question” isn’t what you think it is.

Enjoyed the State of the City luncheon yesterday. Happy to address the business community and do a Q&A in support of the #NewWest Chamber, and help support their great work.

reconciling with own disappointment

Thank you @visionzerovancouver.ca for the Jane’s Walk today looking at both the good and bad news about Road Safety in #NewWest.

👀

Three Jane’s Walks this weekend in #NewWest! Take a walk, geek out with like-minded folks on public spaces, active transportation, and urban forests! www.janeswalkvancouver.ca/2026-walk-sc...

Canada will not be recognizable when Carney is finished selling it off. Harper wouldn’t have dared, Poilievre isn’t cynical enough, Mulroney would be proud.

Drag and Draughts at Steel&Oak tonight was a hoot! Thanks #NewWest Pride!

This is a powerful insight into local government.

We had a Council of Councils meeting this weekend. 120+ elected folks from around the region (including 5 members of #NewWest Council) talking about Metro Vancouver Governance! No lights, no cameras, but there was action! www.patrickjohnstone.ca/2026/04/coun...

Anything in the world when you’re born is a natural part of the way the world works. Anything invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things. -Douglas Adams

I'm excited about this team. More info will be coming out after the Nomination Meeting on May 3rd, but the breadth of experience here bodes will for the future of community leadership in #NewWest... 🧵 www.communityfirstnw.ca/prospective_...

This should be fun #NewWest

On Friday May 1 we are hosting a Jane's Walk on the Best and Worst of New Westminster Transportation. Starts at 6pm at the Uptown Plaza on Belmont, the event is free, all are welcome! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/04/22/m...
