Advocacy opportunity 📣 The Metro Vancouver region has a survey seeking input on their 2027 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan.

Metro Vancouver deals with things like wastewater, air quality, regional planning, providing below-market rental housing and more. (Note that they don’t just serve Vancouver - they serve many municipalities, which are listed in the survey.)

Take the survey until March 27, and be sure to let them know that you care about:

- wastewater testing / monitoring for communicable diseases
- air quality improvements, including indoor air quality and aligning building codes with up-to-date air quality standards like ASHRAE 241!

It’s my birthday, but I now view time by different measures

I crashed so this is belated, but for my birthday/Stonewall anniversary ask, I received over 40 pro-mask messages of people wearing N95 or similar respirators! I think there are even more, I lost count a few times. Thank you SO much to everyone who participated and helped take care of themselves and their communities.
