@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo Here, Here! 🙌

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo I mean, when staff were asked about specifically targeting these fields vs. The existing vanplay strategy that deals with this equitably, they didn’t have an answer which means this wasn’t run past staff. Hard to support that.

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo Kits Tennis courts with lights 😊. And basketball… Also a reservation system. It works growing up in Montreal. You can plan your evening with a booking. Lots of tennis courts open till 10:00 in Mtl… One of them in NDG👇

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo And fix sports facilities with broken equipment. e.g. heater in Hillcrest rink. (Other cities, Richmond, Mission etc mostly have heaters in the stands but Kits/Kerrisdale don't)

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo And increase enforcement of existing by laws that prohibit off leash dogs on sports fields.

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC Bringing lights to turf fields at Kits and Hillcrest. Starting the “Play” portion of the John Hendry park renewal. Renewal of the VanTech turf. Thanks to @VanFieldSports , @BaseballTrout and @ParkBoard staff.

@sarahkirby_yung @MikeKlassen @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo There are so many schools near me with very poorly used gravel “fields”. L’ecole, Carr, Cavell, Brock, Livingstone, Fraser, Mt Pleasant etc. Could VPB and VSB work together to improve these spaces?

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo THANK YOU @brennanbastyo as a coach to youth soccer teams in Vancouver we desperately need lights at fields and MORE turf fields to help our kids play the things they love!! Vancouver is so far behind cities like Surrey and Burnaby wrt field access!!

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo Shortly after he nodded through a motion to remove safe cycling from a park.

@sarahkirby_yung @Vote4ABC @BrennanBastyo Absolutely. There’s one set of lights at our kids’ soccer practice pitch so half of the pitch is so dark it’s not useable
