@artbyianmac your photo of the day on CTV Ottawa tonight (the cardinal) is stunning. I'd love to purchase a copy.

A profoundly sad day for all of us involved in the Centre and for an entire community. We've lost a truly extraordinary man. We also know that his legacy will live on through the treatment centre that bears his name.

[DaveSmithYouth @DaveSmithYouth]

Today on September 4th, 2020 we mourn the loss of our founder, Dave Smith. Our DSYTC family are reacting with profound sadness to the news of Dave’s passing at the age of 87.

Couldn't help but reminisce today at the @cdnclubottawa lunch featuring @goldyhyder. He and I met as volunteers on the Club's executive back in the early 2000's and had a great time recruiting interesting speakers. Several years later, here's Goldy back at the podium! #fullcircle

[John Stackhouse @StackhouseJohn]

Welcome back, Hyder. Former club president @goldyhyder returns to @cdnclubottawa to make the case for a bolder Canada. Need skills, investment, regulations and trade for the world as it’s evolving, not as it was. 🇨🇦 #cdnclubottawa

@jeancote46 Congratulations, Jean!

Jack and Sheila are very special people, opening up their home and their property to a lucky group of family and friends for a spectacular day of music and laughter. Ever so grateful for their support of @DaveSmithYouth #woodsfest

[DaveSmithYouth @DaveSmithYouth]

Thanks so much to Jack and Sheila Woods, the event hosts of "WoodsFest". It was their idea to name the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre as the charity of choice. They attended this year’s Wild Wild West event and were deeply moved by what they learned and the people they met.
