Thank you for fighting for Carleton and for your strong advocacy to keep school lands in the public domain.

Schools are the heart of the community and the soul of the neighbourhood.

B.C.’s School Boards matter, but only if they act like it – IPE/BC

An important read! School Boards do matter. They are the immediate connection to parents and communities. They should be democratic, transparent and fully engage with their constituents. #bced #vanpoli

The elimination of school boards in other provinces is a worrisome trend. To counter it, Patti Bacchus calls on school boards to lead collaboratively, transparently and with authentic community engagement. #bced #bcpoli #cdned #PublicEdPublicGood

New community-based teacher-education programs will increase First Nations K-12 teachers The Province, in partnership with the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) and the Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association (IAHLA), is supporting the development of First Nations-led community-based teacher-education programs to address the significant shortage of First Nations teachers in the province.

Good news! We need more community based teacher education (and EA training) programs. Learning and teaching in community is the way to go. #bced #BCeducation

Thanks @sharongregson.bsky.social for your constant leadership with the @$10aDay Child Care campaign.

Expand $10aDay child care. Provide more spaces. Implement fair wages. Build new programs and spaces - in schools and post secondary. #bced #bcpoli #vanpoli @publicedbc.bsky.social

Wild times at the @vsb39.bsky.social board meeting. @reddyforchange.bsky.social likens the actions of board to muzzling her - shows the muzzle for effect. Where is the public voice and advocacy that used to be present at board meetings? #bced #bcpoli #vanpoli

Watered down motion @vsb39.bsky.social board meeting. Ignores @reddyforchange.bsky.social requests for democracy, transparency, and inclusion. Calling for public debate at regular board meetings. Bring back the public to public board meetings not via ad hoc committees. #bced #bcpoli #publicvoice

Compared to the provincial election, the federal was all manual. Served as Deputy Returning Officer for advance polls and the count. Pleased to be part of the Canadian democratic process and met some great people along the way! Finished at 1:30 am #tired! #democracy πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
