Tomorrow, City Council will hear Ken Sim’s motion to roll back Vancouver’s leadership on safe + energy-efficient buildings, including by: • pausing emissions reporting for large buildings • repealing rules limiting gas-fired water heaters • reverting our energy standards to weaker provincial req's

Campaigns are built through small moments: conversations, questions, encouragement, and people showing up. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this one. OneCity members are voting now until May 10th, and I would be so grateful for your support.

Grateful for Christopher’s support to be one of your OneCity Council candidates! I’m committed to ensuring we integrate climate policy into city planning and advance reconciliation. Addressing the housing affordability crisis and building a more sustainable and just city are integrated goals.

Grateful to have Am Johal’s support. Vancouver is at a turning point, and we need leaders with a principled, progressive vision for housing, climate justice, public space, and Indigenous rights. Voting is open now for OneCity members until May 10th, and I’d be honoured to have your support.

Deeply honoured to have Grand Chief Stewart Phillip’s support. His lifelong advocacy for Indigenous rights, lands, waters, justice and the health of our shared environment continues to inspire me. OneCity members vote May 3–10, and I’d be grateful for your support!

It’s going to be a busy (FIFA) and hot summer. However, ABC’s budget cuts means several beaches will not have lifeguards looking out for us. On Wednesday, Council will decide whether to put public safety first + reinstate lifeguards at high traffic beaches - Third Beach, Spanish Banks + Sunset.

What exactly does “public safety and affordability” mean to ABC? It certainly doesn’t seem to mean evidence-based measures like supportive housing that lead to greater affordability and public safety outcomes for everyone. 🧵1/5

The global response to oil crises always seems to do everything possible to increase supply, rather than reduce demand. The latter would be more beneficial in every way imaginable, and make us resilient to future crises (and there will be more!)

As a swimmer, I know how valuable pools are to so many people in this city - they’re where we learn to swim, train, and even compete. They’re big investments the city makes in youth and adult sports, fitness and public safety. That’s why I’m concerned about how the VAC “renewal” has been handled. 🧵

Council is continuing its deliberations on the Official Development Plan tonight (I’m one of the speakers carried over til this evening)! After wading through the plan, thought I’d share some of my summary/thoughts here:

Two moving and joyful events this week to celebrate and honour International Women’s Day alongside the @onecityvan.bsky.social team.

Congrats to UBC’s Indigenous Law Student Association for raising over $100,000 for Indigenous law student scholarships. Thank you for sharing this milestone with us through a beautiful celebration at the Bill Reid Gallery.

Decisions at City Hall are falling short of our community values and leaving people behind: from banning supportive housing, cutting our sustainability office, to neglecting our public spaces. I’m running to be a OneCity council candidate to stand up for communities and the values we stand for.

A bus rally that involves cake, a Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams lookalike contest, and stand up comedy - sign me up! Thrilled to have joined @movementyvr.bsky.social on Friday night to advocate for bus priority along the whole 49 bus route.

Proud to be standing behind + with our incredible OneCity mayoral candidate @wazaroff.bsky.social at OneCity’s AGM. Congrats to both Amanda + William for running stellar nomination campaigns that challenged us not just to dream, but to organize, for a city that is more equitable, resilient + vibrant

Proud of my brave friend Esther for sharing her story + breaking her NDA to speak for those that can't. NDAs, originally designed to protect trade secrets, have become tools to silence victims of workplace discrimination, harassment + assault. This is not ok. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

On Friday, 30 Van city staff were told to pack up and move on. This included city engineers & transport staff - teams that help with safe street projects. More cuts for unionized workers are coming in Jan & Feb. This is the human & community cost of a slogan budget. Let’s send ABC home in October.

@movementyvr.bsky.social is up to incredible things for us transit riders in Metro Van! Advocating for faster, more reliable transit isn't just convenient for commuters - it also helps make us a leader on climate, transportation safety and equitable access. P.s. did y'all know what a bus bulb was??

Van showed up for the Eastside Culture Crawl in force this weekend. But ABC's 2026 draft budget does not. A 12% cut to arts, culture and community services puts beloved events like the crawl at risk. Always blown away by the local talent in Van - let's make sure it stays here. #vancity #budget

Grateful for the opportunity to learn about grassroots initiatives and policy proposals to support climate resiliency at the DTES beat the heat event today. Access to safe spaces in extreme heat events shouldn't be predicated on income or neighbourhood. Housing justice = climate justice. #DTES #ubc

Thanks for stepping up @wazaroff.bsky.social! We need a mayoral candidate who will work for Vancouverites being pushed out of this city and that will champion bold and brave policies to address Vancouver's housing crisis. The announcement we needed in the wake of the draft 2026 Budget.

Hello Bluesky! Excited to be here and join discussions that don't remind me how thinly veiled racism is in 2025 (unlike the other place). Bear with me as I get my footing.
