iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Apologies for the length of this, but I hope it is helpful. I feel strongly that we need to see trustees that will work to improve the state of our schools, act as effective communicators, and understand the importance of the role. 18/ #vancouvermunicipalelection2026

if she would pass on the access to the current exec and remove herself, as she was not an executive at that time was, "I think I stay here for an admin as a bit[.] I'm still a parent same as you." I find this concerning as DPAC communication properties should be, and are expected to by managed 16/

After she stepped down as chair I reached out to her to ask if she would hand over access to the Facebook account. I had previously been the administrator and current exec were asking me if I still had access as they were unable to get information or a response from her. Her response when asked 15/

Historically access to these accounts was shared with the officers of the executive (chair, vice chair, treasurer, secretary). This was extremely alarming to me so I reached out to the executive to communicate that, and share what was the practice prior to Melanie acting as chair. 14/

The reason she gave publicly was she hadn't been reimbursed for costs associated with her credit card being on those accounts. I understand her concern about the cost, however I disagree with her approach of removing access to DPAC properties from those who had been elected to the position. 13/

Melanie Cheng - I worked with Melanie for a year. In January 2026 she has stated in a public DPAC meeting when she had been in the role of chair for the past 1.5 years, that she refused to share access to DPAC properties (website administration, Facebook group, Twitter account, etc). 12/

I believe Krista was the exec who spearheaded a platform to allow Vancouver PACs to share information with each other, ask questions, etc. It was a fantastic resource, and she was very helpful in transferring over the administration tasks for that to ensure its continued use to the community 11/

Krista Sigurdson - I known Krista since about 2021 when I started advocating for supports during Covid. She was known as one of the people on DPAC executive who was a great communicator, great at taking on projects/tasks and succeeding in meeting the needs of the community. 10/

Ishi Dinim - Ishi worked as part of Vancouver DPAC to improve education advocacy for parents. He came into the organization when it desperately needed people and offered his time and energy. He was always an honest communicator, 8/

The first time I met him in person was at a BCCPAC provincial meeting - he (as part of an advocacy group) had a table there to reach out to the community in an effort to advocate for better education provincially. 4/

Steve Cardwell - I met Steve a few times and found him to be a genuine, engaging individual. His past experience as VSB superintendent speaks volumes about his experience, however what strikes me is the advocacy he has continued to do when he could have retired or gone on to other adventures. 3/

I'm writing this because I have had the opportunity to volunteer with them. This is completely my experience in what I know of their work and the energy they have put into being dedicated education advocates. I hope that sharing this helps other people form decisions on who they want to vote for. 2/

I decided to share my experience with 6 of the school board candidates running for Vancouver. First off - hats off to everyone who has made this decision. It is incredible to dedicate the focus and time into running an active, engaged campaign. 1/

He’s going to the Pentagon instead. So, he’s not completely silenced… but he SHOULD be.

This is what it looks like when people with money do good things.

Thank you, @mapquest.com! Used your app yesterday to drive to a location. It…wasn’t the best, however it got me there and the voice gave us a good laugh. And I figured your team was ramping up improvements with all the new users. Thank you for being an ethical company.

particularly great for removing myself from the drama. :) As well, I really don’t want to get sued. This person is possibly litigious. Anything I say would be factual (I don’t have the time or interest in making up stories) but I may not have the receipts to have proof of 3/4

use terrible judgement when making policy decisions, and then blame everyone else rather than learn and take responsibility. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I feel a responsibility to share this information but I also enjoy not being part of the drama - getting out of DPAC was 2/4

Hey local #Vancouver businesses! Lots of opportunities for locations across from #LangaraCollege. The cafeteria there is pretty expensive for anything healthy and you would get lots of business if you can offer better options than a $16 stirfry. :) Would love to see Onigiriya or sushi! 🙏🏻

@onecityvan.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social @vangreens.bsky.social This is a topic you should be aware of as I expect it may become something people are concerned about.

Good to know! I’m going to have to learn how to identify these cameras. It’s interesting to see the cluster of them out on UBC lands.

Anyone know this person who stole fabric from Dressew in Vancouver? They’ve now shared video of the woman stealing gold lamè fabric, and it’s photos of a tattoo and a bag from La Paradise du Fromage in Montreal. #laparadisdufromage #shoplifter #dressew #vancouver #montreal

Ok, showbiz people - who else rejected HP and “she who shall not be named”? Let’s hear from those folks and give them support!!

Hey @youranona.bsky.social! Maybe you want to do a little hacking of the gr@p3 academy website and share names or IPs of users? No need for these guys to hide. 🍆 🔪

Sim called Orr and apologized. Then gives a media interview and repeats the same statement to every question: I called Councillor Orr and apologized. 🤔

Zhou apologizes. Mayor Sim says he appreciates the apology. Couple days later a video comes out that Mayor Sim had made a similar statement before Zhou. Except that Sim said that it Councillor Orr that was giving out illegal drugs. Orr wasn’t in the city on Christmas Eve.

Councillor Zhou says in an interview with Chinese media that the non-ABC councillors were out on Christmas Eve giving out free illegal drugs. At the CNY parade a few people come up these councillors and tell them what Councillor Zhou said. Councillors go public. General outrage ensues.
