The new Athlete Center is an outright freaking DISASTER!
Deadline is 6 weeks away and it's errors upon errors and a complete nightmare!
Whereabouts failures incoming...?
How is it possible to make something this BAD in 2026?

also huge shoutout to David Roche, the anti-Alberto Salazar, who’s getting American women on world major podiums by making sure they feed their bodies and manage their stress and run healthy
Dressed up as something spooky today: a runner.
@KajaksTFC Trick or Trail was a great success.
Happy Halloween everyone!

I'd have an easier time believing those who use "neighbourhood character" or tree removal, infrastructure concerns, affordability etc... to argue against/ block gentle density increases IF they weren't silent when a 1600 sqft home on a tree filled lot is replaced by a single 6000(!) sqft single family home that just sold for $4.2 million.
In the past decade 100s of 60+ year old homes have been replaced 1 for 1 with MUCH larger homes that make the neighbourhood they're in less affordable, and more exclusive. Those homes are locked away for another 60+ years and every passing year we do nothing we lose more opportunities to add housing to neighbourhoods that are losing people.
We should aspire for our neighbourhoods to be places where young families can grow; where seniors can downsize and stay in their community; where nurses, teachers, and the service workers we rely on can afford to live near their work; where kids can walk or roll to school and to their friend's house; where we know our neighbours by their names not simply by the car they drive. That's neighbourhood character I think is worth fighting for.

Student vote results. @alexaloo would be Mayor. Cat Guy really over performed, beating Kash Heed.
On council, Bob Basanti took top spot, a small but relatable solace for finishing just outside on the actual vote (it was fun people the students choice for the last 4 years!)

I’ve been compiling all the candidate answers to the Richmond News surveys.
It’s remarkable how many platforms are simply ‘magic’
What do you mean you’ll hire more police, build more rec facilities, more arts funding, more free events AND lower taxes?
You want to reduce congestion, but not build any new active transport infrastructure?
$694 million operating budget. $180 million of that is community safety (mostly police contracts with y/y raises you aren’t stopping), another $180 million is utilities (set mostly by metro and with rate increases coming). Etcetera…
Our residential property taxes are already kept artificially low by developer fees and commercial properties taking an oversized share of the burden.
So just, be honest. Look for a few million dollar efficiencies where you can, cut out unnecessary red tape. Tell people exactly what percent of the city workforce you’ll cut and from which departments.
But you’re not freezing the budget without significantly shifting the burden to future generations. I would actually argue that’s already happened, we are the future generation screwed over by decades of not properly funding our cities to build the infrastructure we need.
I want to vote for candidates who want to be part of the solution. Who have a vision for a city that will be a magnet for young families. That allow seniors to age with independence and dignity. That have the housing where teachers, nurses, services workers and the like can live in the communities where they work.

End of an era. After a decade calling this place home it’s time for a little more space. I’ve absolutely loved living, training and growing here.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a spacious 1 bedroom surrounded by greenery you won’t regret this one, I know I sure haven’t.
I’d love to be able to complain about taxes. But for that I’d need some money. So if you’re looking for a motivational speaker, reach out! Some people say I talk good.
Some very thoughtful answers here from @HeatherLarson38. Looking forward to ticking your name on my ballot for School Trustee Heather!

Nice to see a candidate for council actually out in the community chatting to residents, as opposed to Advance Richmond flaunting election rules by putting up a bunch of flags and then leaving.

Lots of fun trying to get off the ground (my knee drive still leaves a lot to be desired). Have maybe run 100km total in the last 2 years, none of it really under 4:00/km, so I was quite pleased with this.
Great job as always to @BC_Athletics and the whole @whistler50relay team for always putting on an outstanding event.
Congratulations @Hayato_RACEWALK!

Dear Athletics Integrity Unit, I’d like to report age doping. No way is Mayor Mamdani still eligible as a U20 competitor.
🚨 At the U20 Mayors Summit, Mamdani Says the Left Has Ceded “Quality of Life,” “Efficiency,” and “Fraud and Waste” to the Right
This was one of the more interesting arguments Zohran Mamdani made today at the U20 Mayors Summit, and a reminder that he can be genuinely sharp when he drops the “central casting” routine.
“In New York City, there are certain words that have taken on ideological associations.”
“Quality of life has come to be seen as somehow a right-wing concern. Efficiency… has been taken on as a right-wing concern, rooting out fraud and waste, a right-wing concern.”
Mamdani’s argument is that refusing to engage those issues actually helps the Right.
“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’”
The harder question is how much of the broader Left is actually prepared to follow the advice.

Theres a Cole Hocker 1497m specialist joke for the making in there
Fun fact: the reason the difference between 1-2 and all the other lanes is less is because lane 1 is measured 30cm from the rail and all other lanes are measured 20cm from the lane line.
This also means that it is theoretically possible to do less than 400m/ lap. If you can go 14cm off the rail instead of 30, you’re doing 399m per lap.
