DYK not every earthquake will result in an alert to your phone? The Earthquake Early Warning system is designed to only alert for earthquakes that are likely to cause damage.
If you get alert or the ground starts to shake, drop, cover & hold on.

This is just the beginning of the work we must do together as Canadians.
To be able to respond with decisive action as needed, I have given notice of a motion coming before Council on Monday giving direction to staff on a number of items from policy, to regulations and licensing, to working with the local business community and more.
Our collective response will shape our economic resilience. By working together, along with provincial and federal partners, we can mitigate hardship and build a future-ready economy.
🍁 Supporting our local economy amid broader economic challenges, including US tariffs, is more important than ever. The City has long worked to create opportunities for local businesses to thrive & we remain committed to standing with them through this period of uncertainty. 🧵
Wishing everyone observing Ramadan a month filled with peace, reflection, and togetherness. May this sacred time bring you spiritual renewal, kindness, and countless blessings. To those in the City and beyond, Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙

Thank you to the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce for a wonderful breakfast chat with leaders in our business community to discuss all things CNV! There is so much work underway to make our city an even better place, I encourage everyone to be a part of the journey.
