Too often urban density & urban green are seen as a trade-off, a false choice. But creatively integrating green into urban density needn’t mean less density — it just means BETTER density. In other words, it’s part of #DensityDoneWell. Gif via @watgdesigns teapawt.net/watgdesigns/status/129…

Some good salmon news! The first sockeye of the year returned yesterday to the Coquitlam River. Zero last year. Epic struggle to repair the damage caused by BC's oldest hydroelectric dam continues. Kwikwetlem/Coquitlam literally means #redfishuptheriver. Historically early run.

Communication is critical with Asset Management. Simple, clear information on why, what, where, when and how provide benefit to council, staff and the public. Spallumcheen is doing just that! #OurAssetsMatter @doug_allin Great work! Check out the video at vimeo.com/426011260

It’s pretty impressive what @TownofGibsons is doing with asset management and natural assets. It’s more impressive how they have used AM practices to address #COVID19BC and continue to deliver sustainable services. Manny is a rock star! #OurAssetsMatter

A new study says global carbon emissions dropped 17% in April, the biggest drop since WW2. But because the changes that led to these declines are temporary, the results will be temporary, too - unless we learn from them. @gcarbonproject cbc.ca/1.5577305
