Parents have been setting up "MLA playdates" outside MLA offices this week, protesting the months-long teachers dispute.
Thursday, it was Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux's turn.
A small group of parents and kids set up a craft table and chairs on the sidewalk outside her Cloverdale office, which was closed, leaving a message in colourful chalk when they left.
"School is essential," it read. "MLA Playdate – we were here. Listening helps."
