Just because it’s now fall on Vancouver Island doesn’t mean it’s the end of flower season 😊🌻 #cowichanvalley

I will be closely watching how @emilylowan.bsky.social can build up the party and bring more supporters to the movement.

Beautiful section of "old" second growth forest along Bannon Creek in Cowichan yesterday. A bit more remote and hard to reach but worth the effort. So many healthy and towering western red cedars plus some monster big leaf maple trees along our ride. #vancouverisland #getoutside #singletrack

I hope we see more women than men running in next year's local government elections but we need to ensure it is a safe space for all.

Meanwhile, in Victoria, there’s a $300 reward if you’re in Oak Bay and can capture this missing cockatiel, who’s “the whole world” of another rescue bird the couple own. Rooting for Karl. #yyj

Back from my single track moto ride through the mountains and the view today (plus the bonus great weather) did not disappoint 😍 #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley #sundayfunday #singletrack

Headed out this morning for some mountain and forest single track enduro exploring in a new area I haven’t been before. Hopefully some beautiful big trees and lush moss lined creeks to be found. #getoutside #cowichanvalley

As the seasons change and nature feels a bit more mystical. 🍂 #getoutside #naturephotography #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley

Very cool #yycbike

A atrong vision for navigating BC’s future in turbulent times by Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social in his speech to @ubcm.bsky.social this morning. Also grateful for a shoutout for Chemainus @northcowichan.bsky.social manufacturing company Canadian Bavarian & their $1.4 million prov grant #bcpoli

Fall is in the air and it’s time to set aside some time to visit the alpine to enjoy the colorful display of the changing seasons 🍂 #fall #autumn #vancouverisland #naturephotography #britishcolumbia

Lots of talk this morning about real investment into housing, let’s hope we see it happen 🏡🏢🏘️

"Darren did not want a formal funeral. If you are reading this and want to honour him the way he would have wanted, do what he did every day: go outside, ride your bike, enjoy nature, and do something kind for a stranger." 💔 #yycbike #yegbike edmontonjournal.remembering.ca/obituary/dar...

Thanks for asking a great question Jeremy and snapped this pic while you were doing so.

There were in fact car alarms going off during my last sailing and indeed confirmed a broken ice cream machine. We gotta get Justin elected to ask these pressing questions in the future at @ubcm.bsky.social

Tod is looking for as many supporters to show up for the big group photo in #Nanaimo on October 4th at Maffeo Sutton Park #YCD #CanadaStrong ~ check out his post for more details

The phrase “this will be the most impactful court case in British Columbia provincial government history” was the consensus from the panel today as well “we are in for a jurisdictional shuffle with an unknown outcome” . Engaged standing room only theatre just now at @ubcm.bsky.social convention

Grateful to be in Victoria today so that I was able to attend the flag raising for The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. With gratitude and respect I acknowledge the teaching of the past truths and commit to working to create a better future in my role within my respective communities.

“…bikes tend to allow community to happen by taking away the boundaries that exist between people in cities”

This is so very sad, Darren was a passionate MTB rider but also spoke to the kindness and supports we so desperately need as the basis of a better society for us all. A tragic loss but I am comforted in my belief that he lived his life to the fullest 💚

Currently sitting in this session working through the resolutions. A clear consistency in the resolutions from #localgovt to the province are rooted in social & environmental of nature this morning. Timely that @emilylowan.bsky.social of @bcgreens.bsky.social addressed @ubcm.bsky.social #bcpoli

We can’t stop striving to achieve as many climate and energy focused actions and I will always stand up for these efforts in my role on North Cowichan council. 🌎♻️🌲

Well if that isn’t friggin’ depressing 😠

This really fees like DJT and the US Customs strong arming Giant Bikes ?? Is this being done to get US factories built? “Giant profited by imposing such abuse, resulting in goods produced below market value and undercutting American businesses by millions of dollars in unjustly earned profit.”

@emilylowan.bsky.social you crushed it at your address to us as the newly elected leader of the @bcgreens.bsky.social this morning at @ubcm.bsky.social . Listening to you speak reminds me why I stepped forward years ago to run as a Green Party MLA in BC. 💚🌲 #bcpoli #bcgreenparty #canpoli

Bikes + nature + urban = fun #gobybike #yyj #bikesky

That all being said , a great improvement and welcome upgrade. A few tweaks after real world usage is all it will take. The hard part is done 👍🏼🚲💙

Just did 30km loop around @victoria.ca & @saanichbc.bsky.social including @uvic.ca and almost the entire route was protected bike infrastructure. I’m riding here all the time and blown away at amount of new infrastructure each time I come back to ride. #bikesky #yyc #gobybike #cycling #bikesarecool

New Dallas Rd bike lane upgrades are nice heading east past Clover Point. Thanks @victoria.ca for the investment but 1 major safety for start of lanes heading west, needs a curb cut ramp to avoid cyclist crashes. West bound accidentally also had pedestrian/bike stamp painted when only 1 lane should.

Good Morning on this calm and clear morning in Victoria for another day at the @ubcm.bsky.social annual convention. Hope you all have a wonderful day 👋🏼☺️ #yyj #bcpoli

Looks like yet another new section of active transportation investment in #YYJ that I need to ride. Last time was the new protected bike lanes on Blanshard. Keep em coming @davethompsonvic.bsky.social @jeremycaradonnayyj.bsky.social 👏🚲

As seen from two wheels 😎 #gobybike #bikesky #victoriabc #yyj

What a stunning evening to ride along the ocean 😍🚲 #bikesky #yyj #victoriabc #cycling #vancouverisland #rideyourbike

Of course I brought my bike to get around the most cycling friendly city in Canada 🇨🇦🚲😍 Enjoying a nice ride on a beautiful fall day during our @ubcm.bsky.social conference in @victoria.ca #bcpoli #bikesky #cycling #getoutside #yyj #britishcolumbia #vancouverisland

One heck of an economic and fiscal update from National Bank of Canada at @ubcm.bsky.social presentation on the Provinces current budget position with the recent update. Reduced actual growth downwards from projections across Canada. #bcpoli #canpoli #britishcolumbia #canada

Changing up my regular routine this week for the @ubcm.bsky.social conference in Victoria with my fellow @northcowichan.bsky.social council & elected officials from across BC. #localgovt #bcpoli

Hey, hey, hey, American healthcare workers! We welcome and want YOU in beautiful British Columbia!🇨🇦 Strict gun laws, good schools, safe classrooms for kids, stunning scenery, diverse terrain, and a mosaic of people! #UShealthcareworkers #doctors #nurses #healthcare #immigratetoCanada

Got out for a great ride at the Wiskey Creek BC Rec Site enduro moto network yesterday with a good friend. One of my favourite places that has a great user & stewardship agreement with VIDRA who develop and maintain all the trails, of which I am a member. The recent rain made perfect conditions👍

I will continue to urge ‘strategic patriotism’ from my fellow Canadians. We must stick together and stand up for democracy, transparency, and human rights. We are one of the relatively few functional democracies anywhere in the world. We cannot take that position for granted.

Beautiful views from high above the Salish Sea on yesterdays ride. #Vancouverisland #Enduro #singletrack

Nice rain last night so I took advantage of the forest being good and damp again to get out on the enduro single track trails in the forest.

Coffee laps 🚲☕️

I was so excited that council and staff collaborated to help our residents find a way to preserve and protect this wonderful forest.
