My heart is full from all the words and support and encouragement I received last night at our art-making event! A big thank you to everyone who showed up and for asking such engaging questions.
I couldn't have imagined a better event, and I think everyone left feeling more hopeful and more joyful!
We've asked Ken Sim for a response to this, along with a question as to why he said in a statement that Lenny Zhou was "taking responsibility for sharing information that was not accurate."
I'll let you know when or if we hear back.
This tour will be co-led by Iona and long-ime South Vancouver advocate Prabhi Deol.
On Mar 14, join me on a neighbourhood walking tour of South Vancouver!
We’ll be exploring what makes South Vancouver unique and a welcoming place for many, and how it can be even better with more services and infrastructure to support the community.

這是我就ABC黨市議員周楠（Lenny Zhou）在其面向華人社區的市政系列短片中，對四位非華裔市議員（包括 @onecityvan.bsky.social 的 @lucymaloney.bsky.social）提出嚴重、虛假且惡意的指控所作出的回應。
My response to ABC Councilor Lenny Zhou making serious, false, and malicious accusations about the four non-ABC councillors, including @lucymaloney.bsky.social of @onecityvan.bsky.social, on his civic matters short video series targeted at the Chinese community.

Ken Sim won’t be defeated by posts, polls, or prayers. He’ll be defeated in a vote.
That takes conviction in a single progressive candidate who can unify this city. (1/3)
Thank you Amanda Burrows for running an amazing campaign, putting together a great policy platform, and being such a gracious person!

City of Vancouver has not been paying all workers a living wage, which pushes rising costs onto its lower-paid workers. City Council should lead by example and pay workers enough to afford Vancouver. Sign up to support @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social ’s upcoming motion on Wednesday.
We are lucky to have art hubs and spaces like the @thecultch and the York Theatre, and it's important we provide more support to artists and arts and cultural organizations in this city
Art theatres are not only essential to the vitality of a community. They also encourage us to think from different perspectives, allow civic dialogue and enable a variety of voices to be showcased.
This past weekend we watched the #eastvanpanto, which is a family tradition for us. We always love their productions and this year was no exception! This Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired story titled "East Van Panto: West Van Story" was both hilarious and timely.

Even though I grew up in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood, it never ceases to amaze me how close-knit and wonderfully vibrant the community is. Feeling so grateful to have been influenced and supported by such a loving community
Thank you @adriandix.bsky.social and @donvdavies.bsky.social for hosting a great holiday open house for the community to come together, and enjoy good food and conversations. There was even some lovely caroling!
