I like flying kites, curling, cats, swimming and cross country skiing. I'm also looking to practice my French with anyone, I'm about a B1 in written French.

Accessibility is not a gift or a favor for people with disabilities.

It's a right that is long due and taken for granted by governments, corporates and other civic bodies.

Agree. As I understand it in most cases the Minister may fire them but their position is created & empowered by legislation, while having the authourity & affirmative duty to issue whatever health directives they deem appropriate. But , arms length with some immunity seems the least required, based on recent experience/interference /failures

"Alberta pediatricians are calling [for] temporary school mask mandates. [Premier Smith] recently banned school boards from bringing in their own masking rules. But the CMOH can issue public health orders that would take precedence." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-renewed-calls-for-masking-1.6679077 #cdnpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg

A typical school has 4 times as many occupants as does office buildings for the same floor space. A school may be a higher risk for airborne pathogens than a hospital. Each school should have site specific mandated Indoor Air quality (IAQ) inspections yearly

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

Driving promises freedom.

"Some commuters trapped for 8 hours as snow wreaks havoc.. Frustrated commuters were trapped in cars and buses for hours on end Tuesday night as snowy conditions wreaked havoc on highways and bridges across B.C.'s Lower Mainland.

A series of crashes snarled traffic throughout the region, closing the Alex Fraser Bridge in both directions and causing major delays on the Lions Gate Bridge & around the George Massey Tunnel.
