Recovery from disaster is a long process, as this Museum of Anthropology exhibition demonstrates. Open until Sept. 19.
That RV means a lot to her. More than two years ago, the house she was renting at 43rd Avenue and Earles Street in East Vancouver burned down. Her housemate happened to have an RV, so she moved in. But it got crowded when he later invited a third person to live with them. So she bought an RV for herself: a 35-foot 1986 Vanguard that she’s lived in ever since.
The day after it was towed, she went to the impound lot to get it back. She was worried about something going wrong with the propane or the black water due to her home being moved so abruptly. Thankfully, a neighbour secured everything before it was towed and the RV had been handled with care during the journey. The proof was a full glass of water she left in the sink that did not budge at all, despite the tow.

In June 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, I wrote an opinion piece for the CBC about the
I noted that B.C. was one of the only provinces where Black Canadian history is nowhere to be found in the social studies curriculum and I called upon then Minister of Education Rob Fleming to
hold true to his pledge to begin incorporating this integral part of our country s history into the curriculum.
Much has happened since the release of that op-ed regarding the state of Black Canadian history in our province.
In November 2020, for example, the advocacy group Anti-Racism Coalition Vancouver petitioned the B.C. government to make Jan. 15 Black Shirt Day in solidarity with Black Canadians in the struggle against systemic racism.
