Our All Candidates meeting was well attended & a successful chance to ask meaningful questions on Housing, transportation, climate - and how all 3 are linked at the municipal level.

Housing and Transportation are 2 of the domains that city governments have the most influence in your lives. Here is our take on our values on housing:

Housing options look like a variety of home sizes, in a variety of locations, and at a variety of price points. This includes an abundance of choices in those housing types whether you are renting or buying.

Municipal elections are 17-Oct. It's time to talk about our values. Knowing and communicating our values are our jobs as citizens, and of those we elect. At Better North Shore we value -
- affordable homes for regular people in every neighbourhood
- transportation freedom - the freedom to move in our city - that means options in addition to car travel - better transit and safety for walking and biking
- effective action on climate change - THE problem of our time

On the subject of transportation - freedom is about options:

We need better transportation options, including bus-lanes and safer walking & biking. Too many people trying to travel by car results in everything being further away.

With smoke in the forecast this week, time to revisit some tips and learnings for cleaner air and adapting to smoky weather.

With wildfire season upon us – and smoke already affecting millions across North America – we can expect it to reach the North Shore before long. So, I’d like to share some of what I’ve learned over the past few years on a personal journey, learning more about air quality…

Today 13% of all BC households use heat pumps for heating, up from 5% in 2008. From 2019 to 2023, average heat pump sales were nearly double the previous five years' average, and by 2022 began to exceed furnace sales

Kidical Mass North Vancouver is hosting a mellow 5k bike parade down Grand Blvd to Civic Plaza — Wednesday July 1, meet at Sutherland School at 9:30am.

Wear your best Canadian outfit and bring the kids. Free, family-friendly, and a great way to kick off Canada Day before the bigger festivities. ,

What's good for climate change is also good for housing.

Reducing carbon emissions and building more housing are not mutually exclusive goals. Better emission standards contribute to healthier populations and lower building operating costs over the long run.

Turns out we can make this happen. No grants. No waived development cost charges. No free land. Just a clever piece of zoning that redirects value to people instead of profit.

Can we create ground-oriented- ish homes on the North Shore that cost $350,000? Turns out we can make this happen. Not only can we make it happen, but we don’t need a cent of public subsidy.
