National Day for Truth and Reconciliation receipts! September 30th's profits were $1200 (rounded up), & donated today to Native Education College ($400); Urban Native Youth Association ($400); & the Indian Residential School Survivors Society ($400). Not enough, but a start.

Proud to report that PFB continues to pay a wage well in excess of the Metro Van Living Wage. Always an adventure, but the right thing to do.

The cost of living in #Vancouver continues to go up. The #LivingWage in Metro Van is now $25.68. City of Vancouver workers should make enough to live here without needing to rely on food banks or second jobs. Tell Council to reinstate the Living Wage:

Business as usual over here -- we've been doing free delivery for 6+ years throughout the Lower Mainland. New book sales way up in the last 2 weeks & a second full time delivery driver starts tomorrow. Hoping to peel some more folks off Bezos Dot Ca!

I was unable to include every independent bookshop in the country (obviously). But if you are a bookseller, please let me know how and what you're doing during this crisis. Thank you for the books!
