Do *not* call it a "bicycle accident". Do not call it a "bike crash".

Johnny Gaudreau and his brother were struck and killed by the *driver* of an SUV.

Words matter.

[Sarah Baicker @sbbaicker]

STOP asking why they wanted to ride bikes, or why they wanted to ride bikes on that road. START asking why we put up with drunk drivers, aggressive drivers, and drivers who refuse to share the road.

Michael J Fox & Terry Fox went to high schools 22 minutes away from each other, Burnaby Central & Port Coquitlam Secondary School. Combined both have raised close to 2 billion dollars for health research.

Calling tree / urban forestry nerds!

I'm helping organize a conference in #yeg on Jun 21, and we're flying in fantastic presenters.

Spoke n’ Loam will showcase emerging voices within the urban forestry, arborist, nursery, and conservation communities.

It kind of blows my mind that we ever decided that smartphones were appropriate for kids and teens in schools.

Social determinants of health are not only affecting your risk of developing diabetes or hypertension or having a Caesarean section, but they also shape your experience in accessing health care starting at an early age, @abwomenshealth-funded study says.

The first Tuesday of April is National Caregivers Day in Canada. On this day, we honour and celebrate people in Canada who provide personal care, physical and/or emotional support to those in need. Caregivers make a difference in the lives of many people across the country.

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

my most old-fashioned opinion is that we should bring back markers of mourning - nowadays it feels like people can lose the most important person in the world to them & work will be like ‘you’ve had 2 days off we need you back & pretending everything’s fine’
