We’ll be cheering on Team Canada today, but it’s already been a thrilling week across our city. From the energetic crowds at the PNE Fan Zone and amphitheatre, to the packed patios of Granville Street with fans, Vancouver has come alive and is vibrating with soccer energy. ⚽️ 🍁

Everyone that rides through here knows that the connection between the Arbutus Greenway and Kent sucks. No wayfinding, steep hills, parking lots, 6-lane arterials... The good news is a motion from @mikeklassen.bsky.social aims to fix this! Along with much needed improvements on Kent. (1/3)

In Vancouver, city hall denotes when a councillor votes “abstains” on a motion, even though that legally means they voted yes. It’s a weird and confusing rule that doesn’t really happen anywhere else in the province, so here’s my snarky story about why it was back in the news this week.
