Hi #newwest in 2021, all my bikes were stolen. You crowdfunded to help me replace them. I really really needed the help at the time. I just sold Radwagon so I'm sending $ back to folks I can find who donated >$50 and for anonymous donors I'm donating to Purpose Society. 🙏

I am relieved Dee Beattie chose to resign.
The announcement was made at Tuesday night's school board meeting. newwestrecord.ca/local-news/…

I just became a @NewWestAnchor Insider member to support local journalism in #NewWest! You can join too: newwestanchor.com/c/membersh…
The School Board has said they aren’t investigating though and are not doing a third-party investigation as @DpacNew has requested
Last week serious allegations were made against Trustee Dee Beattie. Dee has admitted to the conduct and has resigned from Community First. The Party has accepted her resignation.

BREAKING: Bill C-22 – and the Canada Disability Benefit – just passed in Senate!! But the fight isn't over until the CDB is in the bank accounts of those who need it most. #EndDisabilityPoverty #C22 teapawt.net/leadnowca/status/16712…
In a historic moment for the disability community, Bill C-22 – and the Canada Disability Benefit – just passed in Senate for the final time. 🙌 #BillC22 #EndDisabilityPoverty

🧵EXCLUSION.
This week some core memories will be made for a grade 6/7 class at a #Langley elementary school. The whole class is going to the waterslides at Cultus Lake. Everyone is going - except for 12yr old Sophia.

ALT A young girl is smiling with her eyes closed, she is sitting on the stairs outside with her therapy dog. The girl is blonde and wearing shorts and a grey and white t-shirt. The dog is a yellow lab wearing a red vest. The girl is holding the dogs leash.
Very thankful for @riarenouf @newwestanchor coverage of the School Board scandal #newwest

The Iranian team refused to sing their country's national anthem as an act of protest against the death of Mahsa Amini. They are supporting women who refuse to wear a hijab. These men are facing imprisonment when they go back home yet Europeans are afraid of a yellow card.

this is a lot of falling maybe men are too emotional to play the soccer it's just a thought
It is horribly, terribly bad to lose childcare spaces in the downtown core. This is an essential service and a key to gender equity. I cannot overstate how bad an idea it is to move childcare facilities out of the downtown core. #newwest
Moving daycare out of the downtown core would be hard on families, parents say. newwestrecord.ca/local-news/…

Very happy to see positive coverage of support for bike lanes in @TheRecord 👊@kwong_laura #newwest #Cycling newwestrecord.ca/local-news/…

Love @lauraekwong calling out @TheRecord for publishing anti-bike lane hate. LOTS of folks use bike lanes for daily transportation. Many of us are working parents who don't have time to fill out inane polls #newwest cc @WeAreHub newwestrecord.ca/opinion/opi…

I’m a big supporter of @PJNewWest ✅ & his entire Community First team, particularly @NadineNakagawa ✅
@jonathanxcote will be missed there but leaves the community in good hands.
It seriously filled my 🪣 to meetup with these #cargobike families in #newwest. We’re advocating for an investment in cycling infrastructure- like real bike lanes (not just paint).
