@LifelineOntario Thanks for the reply. An hour to donate blood will not help convince more people to donate blood. Please do better

[Eric Collard @EricEdCollard]

@LifelineOntario How do we have 5 people waiting in the 2nd waiting to give blood at 8:45am on a Monday? I'm trying to enjoy this process but you're not helping! And no thank you on the diabetes snacks!

@Charlie_Senack I'm biased but I would highlight Banff Avenue Community House, or any other community house in the city https://t.co/Dlt7KuKbm9

Nice way to start the week! Very proud for the Trail to be featured in today's Ottawa Citizen, talking about our plans and challenges to be the cycling highway from Ottawa to Montreal

As the summer is winding down, I have some bandwidth for another project or two. Reach out if you or your organization need any help with public or stakeholder relations, especially training. My 20+ years of experience might come in handy :)

I don't know who needs to hear this: We're never truly helpless. Expose that lie by doing something, then do another thing, until you regain your confidence.
