Managing heritage in city planning. Opinions on other subjects are all my own. The rest shouldn’t embarrass my employer. I hope.

Udder genius.

Tomorrow night! We'll walk in the hoofsteps of an escaped cow who rampaged through downtown Toronto exactly 110 years ago.

Jamie Bradburn (@jbcurio) & I are teaming up for this weird historical walking tour!

[Dr. Melissa N. Shaw @MelissaNShaw]

Perhaps the city of @St_Catharines could value Black history, Black lives and deaths enough to fund Rochelle Bush's critical project.

Why these historians are restoring the graves of former slaves https://t.co/3hiF9fdG4n

[Mary L. MacDonald @MaryPlanningMac]

@nickiozzo Perhaps it is because Aspen Ridge as a corporate entity does not do the working. Rather, the people who work for Aspen Ridge do the work. It’s kind of like when people say “history” will show us things. No, historians will.

All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

The history of #Auschwitz is a warning of where human hatred may lead to. It is a call for moral responsibility & action. Today & in the future.

In social media, we depend on your support.
Use your voices to amplify ours.
Please help us preserve the memory & never forget.

Can’t get enough.

[Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon @GurdeepPandher]

It snows about 7-8 months a year in the north. I have to do this about 6-7 times in 24 hours when it snows. Now you can calculate how many times I remove snow from my deck every year. Good exercise, eh? Besides the winter workout, I'm sending you warmth, joy, hope and positivity.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Ensuring better protection of significant #IntangibleHeritage worldwide is at the ❤️ of @UNESCO's mission.

These elements are often closely connected to nature and our #biodiversity 🌱.

It is vital to preserve and amplify these unique ways of living!

[Jay Pitter @Jay_Pitter]

Plans for increasing multi-family #housing in cities like #Toronto should explicitly include the provision of
public spaces—parks, intergenerational community hubs, complete streets—to achieve good density & social cohesion.

[Mary L. MacDonald @MaryPlanningMac]

My American mother told me I was against God. She observed that they (they?) need a parade to legitimate themselves. She was sorry that I would never have commitment in my life (20 years and counting…💕). Today I say: who doesn’t love a good parade? 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/LY0CB3wsdq

@JoshLipnik Josh, do you know what accounts for the difference?

[Mary L. MacDonald @MaryPlanningMac]

Brilliant answer, but what I really want to know is: what did they wear? 😜

[Goodable @Goodable]

A journalist asked NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern if she was meeting Finland's PM Sanna Marin because they were both "similar in age and got a lot of common stuff."

Her response is everything.

Please follow @AuschwitzMuseum and help lift them above 1,5 million followers. It’s as important now as ever.

[Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon @GurdeepPandher]

Brightening up the darkness.
In the boreal forest around my cabin, I created joy, hope and positivity during the long and snowy night of the Yukon. Now, I am sharing it with the world.
