Thank You Youth Advisory Committee/Youth Advisory Board!
Last weekend, the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC)/Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and other teen volunteers removed invasive Algerian ivy from over 80 native coast live oaks at Mills Canyon. The volunteers also cleared debris from over 500 feet of drainage canal that could have otherwise polluted and clogged the city's storm drain system.
The efforts of YAC/YAB and other passionate teens have contributed to maintaining a healthy tree canopy and erosion prevention along the trails and creek bed. For more information about YAC/YAB and how your teen can get involved, contact Nicole Houghton at nhoughton@burlingame.org.

What's the Connection Between Census 2020 and Health Care?
The national statistics derived from the 2020 Census count will be used to calculate eligibility formulas, reimbursement levels, and funding allocations for critical programs like Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
In fiscal year 2015, about $2.3 billion in federal funding was allocated for health care assistance in California based on census data. An inaccurate census in 2020 could lead to less federal funding for hospital services, nutrition, and health programs, fewer health centers with limited staffing and resources, and more barriers of access for health services.
Please help ensure our health programs have the funding they need by participating in
Census 2020.
