We’re FINALLY selling that hoodie you either love or hate.
We're not quite sure what to write here, because the hoodie really speaks for itself.
And it speaks quite loudly.

Order it by this Sunday, Dec 8th if you want it in time for Christmas! If your holiday ugly sweater contest includes hoodies, you'll be sure to win.
And if it's just too out there for you, we're working on a store with some less obnoxious options.
ALT Michelle may be smiling, but this doesn't necessarily mean she likes the hoodie.

The average monthly cost of a new car in Canada is $1400 including gas, insurance, etc.
When transit becomes faster, more frequent, more reliable, a few more families are finally able to swap their $1400 car bill for a $140 transit pass.

We are very happy to see Burnaby Council move forward on bus priority on Hastings St - the most delayed bus corridor in the entire region 🚌🚍
Better transit is good for everyone, and a project like this is an easy way for that to come to fruition.

We will remain engaged in the process as in the near future there will be important decisions made around Bus Rapid Transit. Councillors signalled support for centre-running BRT, its preservation of parking, AND exclusive right-of-way for the projected 55,000 daily users 🤯

Burnaby residents: please take a moment to e-mail council *right now* about bus lanes on Hastings. 25k riders/day could benefit from these lanes, but city council is mainly hearing from a handful of merchants.
