During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump pitched an idea to quickly reduce the number of tents on the nation’s streets: Offer up other places for people to camp. He’d start with a big plot of land. Then his team would hire social workers, psychiatrists and other medical staff which together could “create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated,” he said last year in a video .

A community initiative supported by Green Party councillor Sara Armstrong saw people stepping out from their homes and tackle picking up litter and became a part of street clean-up. The community clean-up took place in the areas around Porchester Place and Wellington Road in Bournemouth where works were carried out by Cllr Armstrong and residents including the removal of litter and debris, collecting bin bags and general tidying of communal areas where required. Councillor Armstrong said a local resident reached out to her for help and support to make the space more useable and enjoyable for residents, expressing concerns about anti-social behaviour in the neighbourhood. Cllr Armstrong said: “Supporting community led action in our neighbourhoods, gives people a sense of pride, ownership and improves their wellbeing immensely. “It gets people outdoors, connecting with each other which is still a difficult thing to do for some people following Covid. “When an area is cared for by the community around it, anti-social behaviour often reduces.” Residents are working in partnership with a range of council departments through their ward councillor Sara Armstrong and BCP Engagement Officer from Parks and Green Spaces Jessie Budynkiewicz. Cllr Armstrong said: “Jessie and I have been engaging with BCP Council officers to address issues such as the lighting, fly tipping and waste disposal. “We are also looking at how we can support a community group to form.” Cllr Armstrong said there is still much work to be done in the future, stating they have only just begun their efforts, and she plans to maintain communication with residents to address ground-level issues and ensure their concerns are effectively resolved. She added: "I believe that people on the ground living in the areas directly affected are best placed to know what's needed. “I see my role as a councillor in empowering and enabling residents to work with the statutory services as part of the solution to fixing the problems - not doing it to them." For the future, Cllr Armstrong is working with residents on how they want to see the green space develop. She has urged anyone to volunteer to make this community project successful.

Article content Alberta is at a crossroads. As global priorities shift towards emissions reduction and environmental responsibility, Alberta faces an urgent choice: adapt and lead or risk being sidelined by international markets. With mounting pressure to cut emissions, the Alberta government has a limited-time opportunity to pioneer large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure. This isn’t just a commitment to sustainability — it’s a strategy to secure Alberta’s place as a leader in a carbon-conscious world. Alberta’s economy has long been powered by oil and gas, but many major trading partners now prioritize carbon neutrality. Whether Albertans agree on the human role in climate change or not, global markets demand low-carbon solutions. Countries across Europe and trading partners like the United States are implementing carbon tariffs, which could restrict Alberta’s market access if we don’t act. Investing in CCUS now allows Alberta to meet global demands while protecting and strengthening our economy. Our province’s fortunate geological situation once again gives Alberta a natural advantage, this time in CCUS. Alberta and Saskatchewan could safely store decades’ worth of North America’s carbon emissions, making Alberta ideal for carbon storage. Projects like the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line have demonstrated the technical feasibility of capturing and transporting CO2, but this is only a fraction of Alberta’s potential. By expanding CCUS infrastructure, Alberta could offer carbon storage to industries across the continent, transforming this advantage into a competitive service. But this window won’t stay open forever. Other jurisdictions, such as parts of the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast, also have suitable geology and could become major players. Alberta needs to act now to secure a leadership role. Critics argue that CCUS technology is costly, especially in its early stages. But the costs of inaction are higher. If Alberta falls behind in carbon-reduction infrastructure, we risk losing ground to regions already investing in CCUS. This industry has the potential to generate billions in revenue through job creation and international investment. By investing now, Alberta can be first to capture demand as carbon-reduction policies solidify. While market demand may fluctuate with global policies, establishing CCUS infrastructure early would allow Alberta to adapt and remain competitive. Some Albertans may question the value of CCUS spending, especially if they are skeptical of human-driven climate change. Yet the world’s largest economies are moving forward with carbon reduction policies regardless of Alberta’s stance. The European Union, for instance, has introduced a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to tariff imports from countries with weak carbon policies, and the United States is considering similar measures. Establishing CCUS now will help ensure Alberta’s continued market access, protect industries from penalties, and preserve our competitiveness. For those focused on job security and growth, CCUS offers a transformative path forward. Expanding CCUS infrastructure would create thousands of high-quality, stable jobs in engineering, construction, and operations — fields where Alberta already has expertise. Transitioning the workforce will require careful planning, but pairing CCUS with renewable technology offers workforce retraining opportunities, ensuring that Albertans employed in traditional sectors remain essential to our energy future. By diversifying the provincial economy around carbon management, Alberta can position itself for resilience in the global energy transition. While some argue that CCUS could extend Alberta’s reliance on fossil fuels, it’s crucial to see CCUS as one part of a comprehensive energy strategy. By integrating CCUS with renewable investments, Alberta can lead in both low-carbon innovation and traditional energy expertise. Aligning CCUS with projects in wind or solar would balance carbon capture with renewable growth, amplifying Alberta’s strengths in both domains and positioning us to lead in a sustainable, diversified energy market. Another critique of CCUS is its long-term cost, especially for aged infrastructure no longer needed. However, Alberta can add a small fee per ton of stored CO2 over the project’s life span to build a reclamation fund, avoiding the issue of orphan wells. Following models used effectively elsewhere, an independently overseen fee structure could ensure these funds are responsibly managed, reducing future financial risks. This would allow for decommissioning and reclamation without burdening future generations. Supporting CCUS isn’t about conceding to any one view on climate science; it’s about adapting to global market trends while leveraging Alberta’s strengths. CCUS aligns with Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system and provides an emissions reduction pathway that fits our circumstances. This strategy protects Alberta’s economy while embracing responsible carbon management. CCUS isn’t just an environmental solution — it’s an economic lifeline for Alberta’s future. Policymakers, industry leaders, and Albertans have a rare opportunity to secure our province’s future as forward-thinking energy leaders. The choice is clear: Lead, adapt, and thrive — or risk being left behind in a rapidly changing global economy.

There aren't many 20-year-old games that have become as universally cherished as The Simpsons: Hit & Run. But despite the game's popularity, a sequel never emerged, which one dev has now revealed was down to a rejection from an unknown employee at the game's publisher. Earlier in November, YouTube speedrunning documentarian Summoning Salt posted a video detailing the history of speedrun world records in The Simpsons: Hit & Run. A few days after the video's release, a comment appeared from Joe McGinn, the lead designer on the game, sharing his praise for the video and later providing some insider knowledge on various...

Mayor Ken Sim announced Thursday that abolition of the elected Vancouver park board and bringing parks and recreation under the control of city council will lead to $70 million in savings over the next decade. In what the mayor described as a streamlining of services, the transition is expected to achieve further savings once a new governance model is established, including millions of dollars in infrastructure project costs. “And these are conservative estimates,” Sim told reporters at city hall Thursday. A city staff report that goes before council Nov. 27 estimated savings of $1.5 million to $3 million per year alone on “position savings,” which staff at a technical briefing prior to the news conference said will see park board staff fill city vacancies. "Our goal is not to have any staff layoffs," said deputy city manager Sandra Singh, adding that staff continues to meet with unions representing park board workers. Savings of $1.8 million to $3.3 million per year were identified under a category called “early operational integration opportunities.” For example, staff who currently support the elected park board could move into the city clerk’s office. Arts and culture, communications and marketing and social policy were some of the other areas identified as amalgamating to avoid duplication of services. The report estimated, so far, that 10 to 20 positions could be affected by duplication. Abolishing the seven-member elected board would translate to a savings of $280,000 per year, or $2.8 million over 10 years, said the report, which gave no indication when the park commissioners would be phased out. 'Unlikely this would be a priority for the province' The hurdle for Sim since he announced in December 2023 that he wanted to abolish the board has been getting the provincial government to make the necessary amendments to the Vancouver Charter. Premier David Eby initially committed to honouring the mayor’s request — which was supported by the seven councillors belonging to his ABC Vancouver party — but suggested during the recent election campaign that it wasn’t a priority. “It's very unlikely this would be a priority for the province before the next municipal election [in 2026], and they've got a lot of work ahead of them,” Eby told an audience at an all-candidates’ meeting Oct. 12 at St. James Community Square. Glacier Media contacted the provincial government Thursday for an update on Vancouver’s request. Municipal affairs now falls under Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon’s portfolio. “We have received the City of Vancouver’s transition report, and we are reviewing it," Kahlon said in an emailed statement. “We have been that clear our top priority will be to deliver on the priorities of British Columbians. That includes the costs of daily life, strengthening healthcare, and building safe communities in a strong economy.” Asked about Eby’s position, Sim said he wouldn’t comment on private conversations he has had with the premier but added that his office had “an incredible working relationship” with the premier’s office.

Photo Mike Howell 'Erodes the trust in democracy' Brennan Bastyovanszky, chair of the park board, was at city hall Thursday to hear what Sim and city staff told reporters about the transition. Bastyovanszky was a member of ABC Vancouver until Sim announced he wanted to abolish the board. He told reporters after the news conference that he didn’t believe the numbers staff provided regarding savings, calling them “dubious.” He also questioned how city councillors could add parks and recreation to their duties, when they already put in long hours. “The amount of workload that the councillors would take on equates to an extra two days of work a week, on top of a full-time job,” Bastyovanszky said. “I don't see how the council is going to be able to manage that. It's going to remove access to elected officials and decision-makers.” Added Bastyovanszky: “This is a centralization of power that does not benefit the people in Vancouver. It erodes the trust in democracy.” The mayor said the transition will allow the city to legally designate 89 acres of land as permanent parkland, including sections of Stanley Park. Sim said the land would be protected, accessible and sustainable for generations to come. Beyond saving money and securing more green space, the transition is about improving how the city gets things done, said Sim, who was joined on a podium by First Nations leaders, city councillors and members of the transition team. “Right now, we are seeing significant delays in critical projects that impact our city — sewer upgrades, green infrastructure, streets, public spaces — they're being delayed, in some cases, by up to two years,” he said, noting a recent pump station project saw costs increase by $2 million because of extended negotiations with the park board.
