I know this is showing the housing benefits of infill housing, but I also see less tree canopy and more impervious area… #flood

Burnaby's flag encapsulates the city's breathtaking natural beauty, from the salt waters of the Burrard Inlet to the north, the fresh currents of the Fraser to the south, and the lands in between. It's no wonder that our flag is considered the best in BC: burnabybeacon.com/article/burnab…

We live on the beach in Naples, Florida. We stayed through the Hurricane Ian. Thought I'd share a rather notable photo from the experience...

#KingTides and strong winds are expected on Dec. 26 & 27. King Tides are predictable occurrences of unusually elevated tides. However, combined with strong winds, it may be dangerous near the water. Please use caution and stay safe out there! #CityofVancouver #ExtremeWeather

Environment Canada has issued warnings that heavy rain tomorrow may cause localized flooding in #MetroVan. Coastal flooding is also expected to impact low-lying areas near the immediate coast due to high winds and extra high tides, peaking ~9am on Tuesday. #BCStorm

The tide was high, but we were holding on. The king tide peaked at 9:40 am and City and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation staff worked hard responding to localized flooding. As waters recede, please be careful near the water or floodplains, obey any closure signs and don't drive through flooded roads.

Salmon have returned to Still Creek in Vancouver! 🌊 Still Creek is an urban watercourse with a sensitive ecosystem. We encourage people and their pets to stay above the top of the bank when viewing, and to please not enter the creek.
