Cheers to ad-hoc solar shading (colour coordinated too)

Listen to @lucymaloney.bsky.social talk with @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social about the Villages program, and her (unsuccessful) efforts to get the ABC majority to improve the plan rather than just killing it. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Throwback to the time we relocated a big tree to this lane house site. I’m thinking it would be great to have a matchmaking service to find new homes for trees on development sites - so they could be relocated vs being cut down.

More amazing comms from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

rip @oplopanax.ca I hope you're cascading down the universes's best single track right now.

This is our mockup of a "village" area (33rd and Mackenzie) densifying with small lot apartment buildings / corner cafes.

Ok that’s it. I committed to a year of French when the kiddo enrolled in late entry French immersion. You can probably guess which of the two of us can actually speak French a year later…

Soggy day at the farmers market but we stocked up on these bad boys

Squamish getting some good deals on a handful of non market townhouses as part of this golf course redevelopment
