Thrilled to be presenting on the importance of ancestrally diverse data for vaccine development at UK Houses of Parliament today (funded by @cziscience) #STEM4Brit@KirOxford
Today on the phone (again): told go on live chat to open a new account. So back to exactly where we started (live chat) & still no nearer to opening a new account. Its almost like you don't want our business.
@HSBC_UK i have been trying to open a new charities account for over 6 weeks. It's a circle of infinity: live chat: make an appt in branch. I made an appt in branch. Told: you don't do that in branch, that someone will call me. I've chased this every 2 days for the last 4 weeks.
Joyeuse #JournéeInternationaledesÉtudiants ! Cette semaine, le @MapleTrust a accueilli les boursiers/ères canadien(ne)s de cette année à la #MaisonDuCanada, célébrant leurs succès et remerciant les donateurs qui ont rendu ces bourses possibles !🍁
Happy #InternationalStudentsDay! This week @MapleTrust hosted an event at #CanadaHouse to welcome this year’s Canadian scholarship recipients to the 🇨🇦-🇬🇧 community. We celebrated their achievements & thanked the generous donors who made these scholarships possible! 🍁
On this Nov. 11th at Brookwood Military Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 2,500 Canadians, our Canada House Team in the UK observed Remembrance Day - to honour the service and sacrifice of all those we have lost in war, ensuring they are both thanked and remembered:
Instead of the usual Cenotaph ceremony, my brother Carl and I visited the graves of our grandfather David Bird (in pic), our dad’s, and our uncle’s graves (all veterans) on Peepeekisis and placed our poppies and smudged. They would have approved.
After the UK ceremony yesterday, Canadian 🇨🇦 Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Brookwood Cemetery today - home to the war graves of over 2700 Canadians. Happy that @Kev_Rex and Amy Muldoon could join @RalphGoodale and I. @CanadianUK
