"The Basketball Game" is a graphic novel adaptation of the award-winning National Film Board of Canada animated short of the same name – intended for audiences aged 12 years and up. It's a poignant tale of the power of community as a means to rise above hatred and bigotry. In the end, as is recognized by the kids playing the basketball game, we're all in this together.

Two Jewish members of the B.C. Legislative Assembly were elevated to cabinet when the new provincial government was sworn in Tuesday. George Heyman, MLA for Vancouver-Fairview, was named minister of environment and climate change strategy. Selina Robinson, MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville, was named minister of municipal affairs and housing. Both New Democrats were first elected to the legislature in 2013 and were reelected in the May 9 election with increased pluralities. The Independent interviewed both new ministers before the election. Premier John Horgan was sworn in on Tuesday, more than two months after B.C. voters returned the first minority legislature since 1952. The Independent’s interview with Horgan is also online. Judy Darcy, who first publicly shared the story of how her father hid his Jewish identity with the Independent, was named head of the new ministry of mental health and addictions.
