@CityofVancouver will fly the Canadian Flag atop City-Hall at half-mast on January 27. City Hall will also be illuminated green, white and red, the national colours of Italy, this evening, as a gesture of support for CG Nobili’s family and the Italian community in Vancouver.

Got to spend time with the passionate people behind @gastown BIA today. #Vancouver ’s first neighbourhood has seen some challenging times but for me the future is all bright! 😎

What kind of people steal from a charity? Apparently these 2 caught on camera. An original Joe Average painting on display @palvancouver 's residence in Coal Harbour was lifted on Jan. 12th. Know them? Call @VancouverPD at 9-1-1 and let's get the painting back.

Another winning video essay by @uytaelee , this time discussing the vexing question of why so few kids are driven to school than in the past. Humour is mixed with data to tell the story. Not surprisingly, up to 20% of city commuter traffic is drivers making school drop-offs.

Today I helped launch @CityofVancouver ’s new Platforms program, “Nine Places for Seeing” to celebrate Indigenous History Month. Our Public Art team has commissioned the work of 21 local Indigenous artists. One lovely piece titled “Bee Humble” is on display at Queen E Theatre.
