Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.
My tribute to Colleen: https://t.co/4qnjCBTQcc
Curling has lost a legend. It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of one of the most exceptional figures in Canadian curling, Colleen Jones.
During her curling career, Colleen captured six national women's championships and two world championships. She also served as a curling coach, broadcaster and ambassador helping grow the sport across the country and the world.
Thank you, Colleen, for your enduring contribution to our sport. Every shot played. Every rink inspired. Every life you touched. You will be deeply missed and your legacy will forever endure on the ice and in our hearts.
Our thoughts are with Colleen's family, friends and the whole curling community.

That said, this is very much on-brand with @CitImmCanada antiquated, confusing, and non-sensical PR processes and forms (it's a nightmare). Does Canada really want to bring in amazing people as Permanent Residents & future citizens or not? @MarcMillerVM @AryaCanada @egalecanada
Great to see @CitImmCanada has still not updated its forms to recognize two fathers for a child. As the sponsor for my husband's PR application to Canada from the US (below is about us), this is embarrassing and appalling. #fixit@MarcMillerVM @AryaCanada @egalecanada
@MelissaLantsman “Bring home lower prices”… so a conservative government is going to intervene in the free market to lower prices? Fascinating position Melissa…. You used to be quite insightful on the politics shows. Now you peddle bizarre hashtag slogans with no plans. What happened?
#ottawa was experiencing multiple flooding emergencies today. At the same time, @_MarkSutcliffe prioritizes communicating about his anti @NCC_CCN vendetta. We need leadership at city hall on the priorities facing the city. Wghere are the serious people to take on serious issues?
For those who have inquired, here are a few data points from the new City of Ottawa study along with previously published information that I shared in my video yesterday. It shows that the existing pathways along the Rideau Canal could accommodate the relatively small number of pedestrians and cyclists who are using the Queen Elizabeth Driveway, allowing us to keep the roadway open and ease congestion on neighbourhood roads.
Pour ceux qui ont demander, voici quelques données tirées de la nouvelle étude de la Ville d'Ottawa, ainsi que des informations déjà publiées que j'ai partagées dans ma vidéo d'hier. Ces données montrent que les sentiers existants le long du canal Rideau pourraient accueillir le nombre relativement faible de piétons et de cyclistes qui utilisent la promenade Reine-Élizabeth, ce qui nous permettrait de garder la promenade ouverte et de décongestionner les routes du quartier.
Many streets, in many cities, can + should be transformed for walking and ‘greened.’ This is the gift of density. You can pull stuff like this off.
Instantly, with little effort, a place for shopping, walking, sitting, breathing good air.

@JCHIANELLO Just like when it wasn't running to get runners and supporters to @OttawaRaceWknd marathon start. Bus service was sporadic, infrequent and slow that morning. Whats the point of building #LRT if it cant serve the public. Can you imagine when @ottawasenators play at #lebreton?
It is hard to imagine why we would build a rapid transit system that cannot be accessed on holidays -- the very days we need public transit. Sigh. #ottnews
