[Mabuhay Calgary @MabuhayCalgary]

Beautiful. A great story on how Indigenous and Filipino communities can support each other.

[CBC British Columbia @cbcnewsbc]

Wednesday marks the end of Filipino Heritage Month and National Indigenous People’s History Month. In light of recent findings at former residential schools in B.C. and Saskatchewan, our @michelle_eliot explores how some Filipinos are supporting Indigenous people. #MabuhayBC

Eight months ago I helped start @CBCCalgary’s Filipino Bureau. This week the model was replicated with @CBCVancouver’s own Bureau. I’m loving that our success is continuing across Canada and we’re providing platforms and a voice for under represented POC 😍

[Mabuhay Calgary @MabuhayCalgary]

Tonight @CalgaryPolice’s Asia Advisory Board is holding a Let’s Talk About Mental Health presentation.

Times are scary and stressful right now, so if you or anyone you know needs support, consider this opportunity.

[Mabuhay Calgary @MabuhayCalgary]

If you or anyone you know suffers from Domestic or Family Violence, there are resources available. Tonight there will be a session for those in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Today the Filipino community will be having a lot of conversations about domestic violence and to start it off, Francia Bodoso from @CCISAB joined @CBCCalgary @CBCEyeopener on a candid conversation about what we're facing.

Filipino representation is lacking at all political levels in Calgary. What will it take to get more qualified Filipinos to step up?

How would you define identity? Is it more Filipino or more Canadian?
Or a combination of both?

[Mabuhay Calgary @MabuhayCalgary]

Amazing talent in #yyc!

[Will Tigley @wtigley]

I made a playlist of Filipino musicians in #yyc and @CBCCalgary published it.

I had a great time researching these talented artists.

Today at around 4:40 p.m. on @CBCHomestretch listen in on a really good interview on immigrant identity.

I loved this interview about how you can identify as a Canadian if you have a “hyphen” in your identity. @CBCCalgary

[Mabuhay Calgary @MabuhayCalgary]

If you’re a non-English speaking Calgarian looking for help or support during the pandemic, this Hotline to connect to a cultural broker who understands your needs will be extremely helpful. #yyc

[CBC Calgary @CBCCalgary]

Hotline helps connect Calgary's cultural communities with COVID-19 resources https://t.co/AWfQkoeRxx

[Will Tigley @wtigley]

Bahaghari means "Rainbow" in Tagalog. It's also the name of the 2SLGBTQ+ Filipino group in #yyc.

I'm glad I was able to get them some airtime on the @CBCHomestretch over the holidays to share the cool things they do.

Listen to it here:

[Fiesta Filipino YYC @fiestafilipino]

A great way to end the year. Thank you to all the volunteers who stepped up to help needy families with these food hangars.

Thanks to @CBCCalgary for coming out and covering this initiative. Watch the video!

[Will Tigley @wtigley]

Really impressed by the organizations that have come together to provide pandemic support for the communities in the Northeast. ❤️

It’s a great resource to have a number to call and connect to a cultural broker for advice and guidance.

[Will Tigley @wtigley]

It was a highlight of my holidays this year to actually get out and help some families in need. Glad @fiestafilipino rallied their volunteers to make this food hamper initiative happen. @CBCCalgary provided some great coverage and video of the day.
