Disappointed that @TransLink is once again passing us by for much-needed transit investment. The Bus Rapid Transit plan and R2 RapidBus extension fall short for @CapilanoU students, failing to save our commuters time. We need real inclusion in regional transit plans #sorrybusfull

CapU students deserve better! We’ve endured cancelled routes, unreasonable wait times, and excessive transfers for too long. We urge an immediate revision of the R2 RapidBus and Bus Rapid Transit routes. #northvan @mayors_council @Mike4DNVMayor @LindaCBuchanan @SusieChant_nvs

A reminder as final grades approach: If you believe that you’ve been assigned an unfair final grade, @CapilanoU has a final grade appeal policy and procedure — but you only have 10 business days after the academic term ends to submit one. Here’s how it works. #StudentRightsCapU🧵
