And then there was this wonderful little treat of a slip. 😂 Anyway, tell your representatives what you think of AI - in your backyard wetlands, in your schools, and in the Legislature. MLA Directory: www.legnb.ca/en/members/c...

How did let it rip work out for us? How has it been 4 full years since then and we still have a healthcare system denying airborne transmission. Municipalities display no new knowledge of how disease spreads. Have heard of no entity improving IAQ, except schools which we have pushed so hard for.
Earlier this week, we learned of Government proposals to cut $35M to $50M in post-secondary funding. The document proposed ending government funding for @mountallison.bsky.social to have it become “an independent Canadian premiere university” (press release for “private”). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We wouldn’t have this in NB right now without our fall 2024 election. For us the key was getting clean air in schools into election promises. Very very glad that the opposition took this seriously and then won, forming @govnb.bsky.social 🔥🔥
It’s been a pretty good week-or-so. ☺️ ASHRAE 241 for all new GNB buildings, including schools. Then-current ASHRAE 62.1 for retrofits. CO2 monitoring in all schools by June.

Who is ready for some good news about school IAQ in #NBPoli? 💕 Thanks to @meganmitton.bsky.social !! 🔥 Scroll to 6:41:00 on the webcast: www.legnb.ca/en/webcasts/... (And the most sincere and never-ending thanks to Ryan Murphy; this would not happen without him and others who have worked so hard.)

Last month, EECD released the results of air quality testing from the 2023 - 2024 school year. Data was again presented as a PDF chart, making analysis difficult. I used their data to create visuals and a report, of sorts. You can read the full report here (PDF on OneDrive): buff.ly/msa9XeV
These charts and recommendations have been shared with all MLAs, as well as the Superintendents, Directors of Schools, and Facility Managers for the 4 Anglophone School Districts. I also shared the collated data. Please follow-up with those who influence purchasing & policy. buff.ly/hrzWjyu
My (recently-updated) presentation, "Crash Course on School Air Quality in NB" includes some background information on indoor air quality and the testing program in New Brunswick schools. If you are interested, you can view that document here (PDF on OneDrive): buff.ly/IBtCHs1

Some noteworthy results from the 2023 - 2024 data (buff.ly/2fEeTTu ): Thirty-seven schools had peak carbon dioxide values above the 1500 PPM guideline. That's more than half. The highest peak value was recorded at Petitcodiac Regional School - a building with mechanical ventilation.

For the 2023 - 2024 school year, the testing program was expanded (maybe "un-contracted" is more accurate) to include all schools originally part of the School Ventilation Program - including those that had previously reported one day of good testing & schools that had ventilation systems installed.

As promised, I sought to find out why NB redefined Covid-19 deaths and how that redefinition impacted reporting, and the response is frightening. They changed the definition based on vibes, resulting in 2 of every 3 covid-caused deaths not being reported. #nbpoli #covid19

Hey Aranet 4 users! There is an app to discretely view current readings on an iPhone lock screen or Apple Watch - without opening your phone! Great for places cell phones aren’t okay - schools, meetings, etc. Free to test. Subscription after. apps.apple.com/ca/app/co-on...
From the developer, @noideawhatimcoding.bsky.social:
Checking CO₂ with @aranethome.bsky.social always feel a bit clunky. Not quick or discreet enough. So I built an app to see Aranet CO2 values, instantly on: ⌚️ Apple Watch, with 2 complications 📱 iPhone lockscreen, with 2 widgets Finally, CO2 monitoring that’s actually seamless and discreet. 1/ 👇

Samples. (No affiliation. Also, @aranethome.bsky.social wouldn’t do this, so someone wonderful did it for us.)

Oh hey there. It’s just me and the @popnb.bsky.social mask crew with a year end wrap up. We are a crew of 12 officially, with some of our partners graciously offering to handle pick ups for us.

I have a request 😊 In your offline lives, or online other places, would you mind 1. Sharing NB’s IAQ progress and 2. Informing people in your lives that this progress is due to advocacy. There is so much awful news right now. Just say hey, good news, look what’s up in NB. Ppl need to know.
Our work is paying off. Today, Mandate Letters from Premier Susan Holt incoming Ministers were shared with the public. The Hon. Chuck Chiasson, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure, will take the lead on the party's commitment to improve the air in public buildings.

Reposting this for new folks 💕 ICYMI Little old New Brunswick, Canada is leading the way with clean air legislation. Please make sure global IAQ advocates are aware of this significant development! We’re all in this together and your support helps.

For the record. I’m sure part of it was luck. We all deserve this *at the bare minimum* and we actually deserve so much more. N95s in healthcare, public transparency and education on long COVID, access to Paxlovid, access to masks and tests, paid sick days etc. I know people everywhere working../1

If anyone out there wants to chat with us about this process we are happy to share what we know! I think there are things that happened behind the scenes as well of which we are not aware. Regardless, we are happy to share any insight we have. Reach out anytime.

A momentous day in New Brunswick. This is the result of hundreds of people caring enough about clean air to contact their representatives; bring it up at every opportunity; and to engage creatively and passionately on this important issue. This isn’t because one person cared - so many care.
