🧵Yesterday at @Saanich Council's Committee of the Whole, we had a number of presentations from #Saanich neighbours during the Open Forum that included questions to Council....
The structure of Open Forum is such that is provides folks the chance to share their thoughts with #Saanich Council, but it does not allow for a back and forth with questions and answers.

The Netherlands didn't always have the fabulous cycling and pedestrian infrastructure we know today. In the 70s, Dutch cities looked very much like our own. 2/7
In 1971, 3300 people in the Netherlands were killed by cars. 400 of them were children under 14.
Citizens were rightfully outraged and took to the streets to protest. Their slogan? "Stop the child murder!" (Stop kindermoord) 3/7
