Global News BC: B.C. communities should be able to make own bylaws against hard drug use says BC United https://globalnews.ca/news/9643455/bc-communities-hard-drug-use-bylaws/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #BCdruguseinpublic #BCdrugusebylaws #MunicipalBylaws #Dugusepublic #Politics #BCbylaws #BCUnited #druguse #Bylaws

Let's see how long it takes before #Saanich #bylaws folks tell us to cut our front lawn. I would convert whole front #lawn to native/food plants field, if bylaw folks didn't force us to mow it every year. I let a lot of backyard space go wild & am actively trying to #rewild more of it. I loathe groomed lawns & think they're a waste of space & water (& gas/electricity for mower - to maintain). I am a huge supporter of #GrowFoodNotLawns #GlobalMovement 👩‍🌾✌

After #Canadian #immigration rules changed in the decades following #WW2 many #ImmigrantFamilies saw the corner #grocery as a chance to #EarnALiving in #Vancouver .
..Since these #photos were taken, in the #mid1970s #CornerStores have all but #disappeared . Supermarkets, chain convenience stores, suburban big box stores & our car-culture changed how people shopped. Starting in the #1980s amendments to city #bylaws and rising property costs sealed their fates.

Lettering: I like old hand carved signage so here's one from the outside of Santo Stefano in Venice, 2004 (sadly we didn't get inside, it was carnival and Venice was heaving).

My grasp of C17 Italian is pretty sketchy so I had to call on DeepL for a translation (seems better than Google Translate for old texts).

It is just what you would expect - no games, no selling stuff, no blasphemy or you get prison and your accuser gets 200 Lira.

A DIY #coop #bylaws development process:

1. Get bylaws from a co-op that seems to be running well of the appropriate legal form.
2. Do a close reading and leave comments about issues and proposed changes on the doc.
3. Circulate the doc to co-founders for their comments and responses.
4. Have a call and talk your way through the comments, integrating as you go.

5. Founding group adopts bylaws.
