Vancouver

I am testing out a scheduled post each week to help break the ice for discussion. Please let me know with any feedback :)

Right now, the posts are scheduled for Thursdays at 5pm.

I think my favourite part of the festival is the weeks leading up where I just throw on a bunch of random music by artists of whom I've never heard and see which end up tickling my fancy. So far, SHEBAD and The Rumble feat. Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr (only found an album as the Rumble)

The previous big winners for me were the Sons of Kemet and Too Many Zooz.

Anyway, would love to hear about any folks whom you'd recommend!

A Canadian deep-sea mining company may become the first to commercially mine the international seabed under a controversial U.S. executive order that bypasses United Nations regulations. A recent legal analysis suggests that this could place Canada in violation of international law.

On June 2nd, Vancouver City Council will vote on whether to adopt the new Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan:

https://council.vancouver.ca/20260602/documents/r3.pdf

The plan commits Vancouver to reducing fatalities and serious injuries on roads by at least 5% every year. It outlines strategies and near-term actions to be completed in the next five years.

• Bike lanes

• Prioritizing locations with a significant serious injury history

• More space for pedestrians

• Safer vehicle regulations

The plan is really good, and it’s not a given that Council will pass it.

We really need your support.

Hi there!

I'm recovering from surgery and the next step is getting back into physical stuff. I usually bike to get everywhere rather than sightsee, so figured I'd ask the crowd to see if there are any fun interesting routes or circuits you might recommend.

Cheers!

From the event page:

With the 2024 construction blaze at 41st and Collingwood still in recent memory, local residents will be interested in learning how to prepare for the risk of house fires caused by a major earthquake or a forest fire in nearby Pacific Spirit Park.

Come with your family to the May 2 Wildfire and Emergency Preparedness Open House hosted by Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) and FireSmart B.C.

Check out information booths and demonstrations from community partners including:

• DEEP and VECTOR HAM radio operators
• Pacific Spirit MedVents
• Vancouver Fire Rescue and FireSmart BC
• UBC Engineering Shake Table
• Canadian Red Cross
• Survive-It Disaster Preparedness
• Total Prepare (a supplier of emergency preparedness products)
• Metro Vancouver Emergency Management and Pacific Spirit Park Society KOM Community Policing Centre.

A small fire engine will also be on site for children to explore.

The event will take place at the Disaster Support Hub beside the tennis courts in the park behind the Community Centre, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This free event is made possible by funding support from the Province of BC, FireSmart Canada and Vancity.
