So great to see the difference that the Growing Communities fund is making. Not only is the White Tower Park beautiful, it also helps reduce the risk of flooding! The @TownofGibsons has incredible advocates in Mayor @SilasWhite & MLA @NicholasSimons 🙌
Fantastic to visit with Mayor @SilasWhite and see firsthand how @TownofGibsons used their Growing Communities Fund to upgrade White Tower Park and their wastewater treatment plant. The fund is making a difference for people across BC - thanks Premier @Dave_Eby and @AnneKangMLA!

Opinion: Scaling up community drug-checking services in B.C. could help respond to the overdose crisis
coastreporter.net
Most consumables in Canada have quality controls that inform purchasing and consumption decisions. People who use illicit drugs deserve the same. Drug checking provides that harm-reduction service.

Thanks @melaniejmark for your service, and for speaking out. We have the same institutional problems at the municipal level. I deeply hope you can enact change from the outside, or at the very least (and most importantly) enjoy a more balanced and gratifying life!
Today was one of the hardest days of my life. Thank you for all of the kind messages and emails. #PaddleTogether paddle with heart, paddle like peoples lives depend on it. Power to the people.

Great story @KeiliBartlett! There have been many inquiring minds about this one.
The Gibsons Harbour manager has been asked about this boat every day since it arrived in October. So what is up with it? It's actually a former ferry once called MV Machigonne, and it's no stranger to our waters. https://t.co/RroG0xlgyo
