Husband, father, professional actor and problem solver. My boss calls me a Principal, which I am proud to be. Oh, and supporter of laughter and shinanigans.
I challenged my class to run a one night only, healthy pop-up restaurant. They served 75 people an appie, main dish with side salad, desert, and education about why each part of the meal was healthy. They made it in one day, in a kitchen the size of a bathroom, and made money.
When you spoke with our leadership group last week, I asked it, "Think like a principal. How is coaching different from providing mentorship?" The answer may as well have written your presentation.

Great stuff! We are starting local; big Walk About Wed tomorrow with a trip to city hall, yards and a meeting with the mayor. No Buzz Lighting quote...yet.
What a great day connecting with our community about building a future life on Mars. First, we hit @OkanaganScience planetarium, and then we had a visit from Kelly @roostsolar. What a brilliant community we live in. So much to learn when you look for it. #inquiry
I am 43 years old. My wife and I started dating 27 years ago today; we have been married for 21 years. I am so grateful that she has put up with me for this long. Seriously.
I don't post about much these days, but being an @Canucks fan is on pause. Please, always give people the opportunity to keep their dignity when tough decisions need to be made.
Peter Davies is a 100-year old who volunteers his time to teach elementary schoolchildren to read.
The UK government recently gave him an award. This was his reaction.
Maybe give yourself a minute...
Please ignore the language and American content. You shouldn't have to stretch too far to understand how this also applies to many Canadian citizens today.
I’m so sick of this “racism against white people” bullshit. If you honestly don’t get it yet, watch this video. It has cartoons and is 4 minutes long. You’ll be better for it.
I encountered a situation lately where someone unintentionally tweaked a nerve of another over a newly sensitive term. I am so grateful the offended took this approach. ***please pardon the foul language;focus on the message. https://t.co/4vTzBeJsRq
These young men battled it out over the last 4 days to get a chance to represent their home town. Without coaches or prompting, they shook hands after the final tryout. That's what Canadian hockey is about. I am so proud. @HockeyCanada
There is something to be said for having the right tools; there is also something to be said for having enough of the wrong tools to still get the job done, even if it takes a little longer.
A hundred years ago, Canadians Fredrick Banting, Charles Best, and James Collip discovered insulin.
When they received a US patent, they sold it to the University of Toronto for $1.
When asked why, Banting said: “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”
