Hey #gov friends! Can you share this event amongst your networks? It would be of interest to @environmentca & those interested in #AirQuality#climate#childrenshealth (I helped organize it so I’m extra excited about it)
We need #doctors speaking out about #climatechange. Help us encourage more to do so by promoting this panel discussion about climate change & children’s health featuring #paediatricians. Help change the narrative: climate change is a #healthcrisis@Greenpeace
I feel it is ridiculous to add new “clients” to Phoenix. Keep the RCMP off Phoenix. Please send an email now asking @jyduclos, @AnitaOakville and @CommrRCMPGRC to keep RCMP civilian members off Phoenix. https://t.co/qjakEd6eU0
So exciting to see the #bike enclosures are complete at Tunney’s Pasture But a fellow coworker has no idea who their branch coordinator is. And the poster has no contact info. @DebbieBGHCSC can you help?
First, convince. Those who you can't convince, coerce. Those who you can't coerce, incentivize. Those who you can't incentivize, regulate. Those who you can't regulate, tax. Those who you can't tax, fine. I hate to admit but money makes the world go around. #polluterpays 6/x
We are already paying for pollution, it’s just buried into the cost for things. A #polluterpays strategy makes both economic and environmental sense. We NEED to stop thinking convenience and start thinking survival
Case in point: the former government subsidy to improve energy efficiency in homes reportedly cost 400M per year and generated 4B in economic activity. Please fact check this. Last I checked, a program that stimulated 10x activity over expenditure was a good thing. 7/x
so if a candidate was from one of these Bureaus, the PSPM does not fairly represent their abilities, but rather the management they were stuck under (and these are likely the candidates who would be really motivated to work hard once under better managers) 2/2
@1matthewchan@SheriffAbdou I really like this initiative and was super excited to share with colleagues. Except the part about providing PSPM results might want to be reconsidered. In some previous Bureaus managers “claimed” they couldn’t give exceeded or they “didn’t want to do a talent mgmt plan”. 1/2

I think this would be an amazing presentation to offer during the charitable campaign @HC2_SC2 Get people thinking about how they can give a little more to others by keeping their eyes open to opportunity #igive
At lunch I gave a presentation to my coworkers on empowering themselves when shopping...I'll be giving the same presentation to @NJProgram , @YouvilleCentre and @daniellejallard's class at @AlgonquinColleg .
We give this presentation free of charge. Contact us for details.
@Ames_at_Work @AlexBenay I think of all the time that each individual employee must spend learning the system and maneuvering in the system (especially for things like mat leave) and can’t imagine that is a more efficient use of funds/time /2
@Ames_at_Work @AlexBenay Has we looked at the assumption(s) that self-serve is actually cheaper/more efficient/better (or whatever was the motivating factor) than having physical people (e.g. compensation advisors) to talk to (either in person or on the phone). Was there a demand for self-serve? /1
Just helped organize and lead our Bureau’s picnic for 75 employees. I forgot how much I love these types of events (including speaking in public) and how invigorated I am at the end of the day. Does a job like this exist in #gov? Or only “off the side of my desk”?
What was the best way to review for french exams (BBB) if you need to re-certify to be eligible for an amazing deployment opportunity? 1-on-1 tutoring? a refresher course? #help#FSL
Oh I like the idea of simple ward maps to show pools and splash pads! Maybe something the community associations could help with (@RSCAssociation) if @ottawacity cannot. Thanks again @RiverWardRiley#ottcity https://t.co/LY9kFHty8m
@MAriganello What an awesome document. Wish all wards (and even the city website) would create something so easy to read. @JLeiper any chance for something similar for Kitchissippi ward? Would also love a simple ward map that shows pools and splash pads.
Tunney's Pasture bicyclists! Fill out the #bike survey in today's Broadcast news (or PM & I'll send the link). Comment on current bike racks, need for secure storage and any else that interferes w/ you biking to work (Even if you don't currently bike, fill it out) @DebbieBGHCSC
