May your glass be full,
your heart be light,
the wind always at your back,
and your dog remind you what really matters —
even if he does outshine everyone in the room.

Happy St. Paw-tricks Day 🍀
Sláinte from Ollie.

Ontario’s correctional officers are in a mental-health crisis.
Understaffing and rising violence aren’t just Northern issues — they’re province-wide.

We need safer staffing levels and real support for those on the front lines.

@ztisdale Annex Canada for national security? Bold talk from the same country that tried invading us in 1812 and got sent home crying. We even helped redecorate your White House with a little fire back then. Maybe sit this one out before you need another fresh coat of paint

Ran the 5K for Run for the Frontline today in support of Boots on the Ground. The message of mental health for first responders really hit home. “Be the Buffalo — Charge the Storm.” A powerful reminder to face challenges head-on. #BootsOnTheGround #RunForTheFrontline

The message is clear: step down from acting roles. On Sept 16, we stand united to show the Employer we mean business.

Remember those days in the summer when it was really hot. Today’s forecast is the opposite.

On a positive note. I haven’t seen any mosquito’s in weeks

A friend shared a video with me about this topic. Last week, I also attended a H&S conference that focused on mental health and ending the stigma associated with seeking help. This message really resonated with me. So, for all my friends, I’ll always have 8 minutes for you.

Attending the 2nd Annual Wellness Symposium. I was excited to see that @Wllm_young was one of the presenters and had the pleasure of meeting him afterwards. His message of #StopTheStigma and starting conversations about the effect our job has on us is long overdue.

Opened up the trailer yesterday. First breakfast of the season out at the campground this morning. Good to be back

There needs to be effective deterrent’s to stop assaults on staff like this from continuing.

Time for minimum sentences for assault on peace officers.

Sarnia Jail staff donated a bin full of toys to the Women’s Interval Home of Sarnia Lambton @WIH2016 to help make sure all the kids wake up to presents from Santa under the Christmas Tree 🎄 this year

The more posts I see on social media sometimes makes me wish the earth really was flat…..because some people have gone so far in one direction that they would have fallen off by now.

Proud to help sponsor the Santa Clause Parade in Sarnia being streamed online for those that can’t make it downtown to watch in person

After many years and experience in the working world, I've decided to start something new again.
I will be offering training courses for teenagers.
Each module will be run over 6 weeks.

The course is aimed at all young people.

A somber day today. Attended the funeral of a brother in blue that left us to early! It was clear to me that the Sudbury jail lost a good one, and that we have a lot of work to do with in our ministry to address the mental health needs of our COR Family! #corrections @ONsafety

[Ryan Graham @OfficerRG234]

Disgusted that today was to be arbitration day yet @ONsafety doesn’t respect it’s workers enough to be prepared to bargain. #BOOSHAME #RespectCorrections #Respect

Ontario is burning

Doug Ford is mishandling the wildfire crisis.

His government cut 67% of funding to wildfire management

Send an email to your Member of Provincial Parliament and the Ford government and demand they invest in forest fire workers.

@Dalek_Dave I was commenting on the information you shared and wagging your finger at the Catholic School system. If you don’t want comments then perhaps keep your fucking finger wagging to yourself as well.

[Joel Bissonnette @Bizzy679]

@Dalek_Dave Regardless of the skeletons the Catholic Church has in it’s closet. The school system still has a responsibility to protect all children from any forms of harassment and bullying.
