Last week was @fcm_online Advocacy Days in Ottawa. Local government electeds go to Ottawa to meet with their federal MPs and Senators. Politics can sometimes seem contentious, but this work was very affirming. different orders of government came together to discuss & listen.

Six hundred seniors came out for City of Kamloops senior light tour reception. Thank you to the staff & volunteers who helped make it happen. 🙏 #Kamloops Pride Choir, Kamloops Rube Band, Kamloops Ambassadors & Black Maria Cadets. And of course Santa!

Condolences for Nancy Greene Raine and all of Al’s family. A life well lived.

In 1983, I was a co-op student creating computer reports on BC timber stumpage fees in support Canada’s trade dispute with US. 40+yrs on, softwood tariffs persist. Trump’s tariff threats have the potential of persisting for decades. #cdnpoli

Fact checking claims about recovery: Substance use stigma ❤️‍🩹 Many assumptions about people who use drugs are inaccurate and harmful, addictions service providers say. #Kamloops #Recovery thewrennews.ca/fact-checking-…

When we build sidewalks & multi use paths, we are serving our disabled residents. #kamloops

Wow. Alcohol consumption in Interior Health is 50% higher than the provincial average. We drink a lot. uvic.ca/research/centr…

It’s time to build a “campus of care” in the centre with both assisted living & extended care. Seniors should be to live in centre not only at the fringes of #kamloops castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloops/…

Agree, with the rapid increase in the Citiy's median age, we need a new approach to seniors living, ensuring residents can age in place within the community.

Western Hudson Bay polar bears are doing what is expected: they're racing out across the Bay as the ice forms. Naive seals have likely forgotten about polar bears having lazed about offshore with nothing trying to eat them for months. [onland = radios that have stopped working]

Only need to look at the population forecast to see the explosion in seniors numbers. For example, those over 90 years old will rise 5 fold in the next 20 years in Kamloops. But as usual the government will turn its attention to the grey wave in just over 25 years from now.

Wow. That’s service!
