The transformation of Disability Support Programming in BC will be life-changing for families in the #FASD community! We look forward to working with partners and government to implement a system that invests in the wellbeing of all children. #bcpoli

Thank you MLA Valeriote of the BC Green Party for taking time to meet with us about BCEd issues! It was an hour well spent to share the needs of kids in BC. Strong partners, strong convictions, strong will. We will do better for our children if we work together. #bcpoli

A huge thank you to the TNRD Board for adding their voice to our call for adequate school district funding for #Kamloops SD73. The province can't continue to ask school boards to operate on 2008 cost models. We are failing kids. More to come! #bcpoli @lisabeare.bsky.social @eby-david.bsky.social

Every successful music artist was once a music student! BC has many amazing musicians & artists. We need music and band in our public schools but it's being cut across BC. Help us save school funding for arts by signing & sharing! #bcpoli chng.it/fJb2SzvJ5n

Parents in Kamloops-Thompson SD are preparing a response to the proposed budget for the 25/26 school year. A $5.7m shortfall will put students at risk & will effect their classrooms, programs, learning. @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social must step in to support School Boards to fund #BCED #bcpoli #kamloops

Bonnie McBride @mcbride5.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Headed to Newfoundland for amazing learning on moving advocacy to action for FASD! Youth w/ disabilities were left out of the BC budget in a big way. We need to switch from asking to expecting & there's lots to learn from those ahead of us in the fight. #fasd #inclusion #bcpoli

School Boards across BC are facing difficult choices about how to meet the needs of students with inadequate $$, schools, and resources. BC has left School Trustees to choose which kids will be left behind. Parents are calling for 1/ #bcpoli #bced @eby-david.bsky.social @lisabeare.bsky.social

The RCMP shot a child dead near my home. I didn't think I lived in a place where children weren't safe from the police. #bcpoli #autism

Bonnie McBride @mcbride5.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Our family is one of the families that feels the inequities of BC's supports for kids very deeply. It's time for the Province to step up and make real change for us and all the others like us.

I wish we were doing something like this in Kamloops instead of taking away passive park space for a skating rink. We're all sports and no recreation here....

Very important background info on data collection that informs school decisions in BC. Police intervention isn't the only (or best) approach to increase safety and connection in school.

Thinking of @gracealore.bsky.social who has brought such compassion to her work with MCFD. Wishing you a smooth and successful treatment and recovery. We will continue your work and look forward to having you back with us to support youth in BC.

Wow.. my #bcpoli MLA has a problem with the Navy making sure it's inclusive and meets the requirements of a safe workplace in Canada. I wonder how our lgbtg cadets in town feel knowing this... I am so sick of the weaponization of the term woke.

Obligatory cat pic! This is Cowboy Boots, our foster-fail, bottle baby, orange female tabby. 10 years ago in the bathroom, and this morning on the heated blanket in my bed. She everything an orange tabby should be; fiery, unpredictable, in charge, fun, loving...

Remember when the coquihalla dropped into the earth and everyone frantically bought out the grocery stores because apocalypse is bad? It came up in my memories today. Just remembering. Driving anywhere in the interior reminds me that we're close to this all the time. #Wildfires

Sad to see that John Horgan has passed away. 65 is far too young. Sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. He seemed to live and work his passions and values. A life well lived.
