Reposted by Rick VugteveenBrent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 22/06/2026As already warm cities become more and more vulnerable to extreme heat events, or just the “new normal” of hotter and hotter cities every day, here’s just one more reason why more street trees and other greenery are good for streets & cities. It’s just common sense, really. Cooler, cleaner, smarter. 8537237
Rick Vugteveen @rickvug.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Thanks @yesinnewwest.bsky.social for the reminder. I got my quick letter of support in. There's still time! Happy to see the city moving forward with stratified infill housing. Should have happened years ago. For better or worse, the changes are much more sensitive than Burnaby. #newwest 162

Rick Vugteveen @rickvug.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Any recommended HVAC pros specializing in heat pumps? Or your own experience to share around what brand/system might be best? Specifically curious about options without natural gas backup. There must be a few folks on BlueSky in the know about this... 🙏 100
Rick Vugteveen @rickvug.bsky.social · 27/02/2026@lanefab.com Question for you: any recommended HVAC professionals who have a good deal of experience with heat pumps without natural gas backup heat? Thoughts on what brand/system might be best for a "thermally challenged" 1912 home? I figured you'd likely have some knowledge here. Thanks! 201

Reposted by Rick VugteveenCharles Erb @charleserb.bsky.social · 23/11/2025That is easily the best MLS game I've ever seen. Vancouver go up 2-0, concede, get a red card, Son scores an unbelievable free-kick, extra time... Then reduced to 9 after injury, LAFC almost win it a dozen times, but Son misses his pen and #VWFC win it on the last kick of PKs. 1163
