Today, hundreds of homeless count volunteers are outside and in shelters doing surveys with people. We started early, at 6am!
If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness, to complete a phone survey, call 211. Your voice matters! @CityofVancouver @_HSABC
Just VOTED!! No line ups at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House. 🙂
Working for the City of Vancouver this past year, I realized more than ever how much every City Counsellor counts.
And I actually really like this voting tool! vancouver.ca/plan-your-vote/…
Do you have clothes to donate? I am spreading the word for Evelyne Saller Centre in the DTES! Donate adult pants, shirts, coats, socks, and footwear. Questions? 604 665-3075 vancouver.ca/parks-recreatio…

Sock drive time! Over and over I hear from homelessness services, shelters and drop-ins that they need new socks and underwear. It is so important.
Let's help Carnegie Community Centre gather 5,000 pairs of socks! #giveback #socksforall #healthyfeet @CityofVancouver
Here are the @CityofVancouver public places with air conditioning. The DTES locations have extended hours. Take care of yourself!
⚠ The hot weather warning has been upgraded to an extreme heat alert. We have extended our cooling centre hours in the DTES and opened wading pools at Grey’s and Woodland parks. Tips on how to stay safe ow.ly/X9YR50Fj9eO
With the outpouring of support, @Tkemlups have put out a list of concrete ways to help.
Here is the memorial in Vancouver for the 215 children whose remains were found in an unmarked grave at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
Many have asked how they can support Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc as we begin the process of honouring the lost loved ones who are in our caretaking. Here are some suggestions: tkemlups.ca/how-to-support-t…

Our Binners’ Hook is up!
I appreciate the hard work of those who bin in our community, making a living and diverting from the landfill.
If you haven’t heard of a Binners Hook, it is for hanging bottles, cans, and other objects of value in bags for easy and safe pick-ups.
To quote the @Binners_Project , “This simple act acknowledges the contribution that binners make to communities, supports their economic stability, and adds dignity to their work.”
If you would like one, here it is on the Binners website. binnersproject.org/binnersho… – at Vancouver, British Columbia

Vaccines have arrived in the DTES.
My team at @Binners_Project made about 50 phone calls this morning to get people into lines at the 4 drop in sites today.
It doesn’t feel like an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most important things we’ve done in the past year.
What a beautiful news piece!! Well told. My good friend Myriam wrote a graphic novel about her (in)fertility experiences. It is honest and powerful to read. @cataloguebaby @ChrisStache – at Vancouver, British Columbia
"The reality that so many women face is that pregnancy is never an assured thing." A Vancouver woman has created a graphic novel called "Catalogue Baby" to break the silence of what she calls taboos surrounding the world of conception.

I am back facilitating for @_HSABC ! Hosting a provincial webinar on the Suicide Prevention Checklist with 117 shelters joining us.
It is always so good to hear Peter Fedos teach. It is a hard topic, but he is relatable, gracious and compassionate.
Join me as I host a conversation with Myriam Steinberg and artist Christache about the graphic novel @cataloguebaby on Feb 24.
It will be an honest conversation (prepare for laughter and tears!) about (in)fertility and being a single mother by choice.

This video makes me proud.
It is the story of our @cityspaces team. The story of our founders Gwyn and Linda, our colleagues past and present, but most of all, how 2.0 is going to be awesome.
Congratulations @nsedky and @jadabasi . Lead on!
