The gift of being seen, the gift of showing up
Following up on my post earlier this week, I wanted to resurface Brenda Bakker's beautiful takeover for the Wellness Almanac from 2018.

But, it seems that the decision makers who actually have the power to do something about it, somehow aren't aware. Or don't care. I appreciate the initiative of the BC Greens to take up this … Continue reading Lend your name to the BC Greens petition urging more action on regional transit
