1/3 Loss of life in our city is tragic at any time, but the loss of Latjor Tuel is particularly devastating. Mr. Tuel was loved by friends & family, and was a well-known member of the Sudanese community in Calgary. He was in crisis & we are left with so many questions.

1/6 I have spent the last 12+ hours reflecting on the provincial announcement to lift pandemic restrictions. In that time, I have seen concern from healthcare workers, teachers, parents, businesses & many other engaged Calgarians. All feel their voices went unheard.

Hey, thanks for talking about mental health today.

Talking is good, but words won’t help someone barely hanging on. Words won’t help someone desperate for support.

Words won’t help. But actions will.

Demand action on mental health from politicians, not empty words.

So, to summarize the school update:
1. Kids need to go back to school because it's a magical place.
2. Just showing up at a school in person somehow fixes mental health problems without adequate resources or supports.

News Release: Teachers and Parents Score Curriculum Victory, but Much Work Remains. “There is a lot of work ahead of us. They still don’t have curriculum right... We will continue to stand for education - ATA president Jason Schilling. ” #abed #ableg

Schools have 1,000 fewer teachers and EAs than they had before the pandemic. Kids deserve to have staff there permanently, and consistently, to allow them to catch up and address all of the losses they experienced last year. #ableg #abed

My thoughts on the upcoming Calgary election - if it helps you make a decision on Election Day.

My message on Orange Shirt Day🧡

[CBC Indigenous @CBCIndigenous]

"My reaction to the naming of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was... that we need truth before reconciliation," writes Andrea Johns, a member of the Kanien'kehá:ha/Mohawk Nation living in Toronto. https://t.co/ccIRoATEWX

[CBC Manitoba @CBCManitoba]

Emily Kewageshig, an Anishinaabe artist raised in Saugeen First Nation #29 designed this CBC logo marking the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30. Her work captures the interconnection of life forms using culturally significant materials from the land.

Land acknowledgments are a way for non-Indigenous Canadians to acknowledge that these lands are the traditional territories of Indigenous people in Canada. Learn more on CBC Kids: https://t.co/jbmavpaJXJ | #cbckids #TruthandReconciliationDay

@nenshi was asked for his reaction tonight to the new round of provincial restrictions. #yyccc

If you have not watched @TedLasso this is my shout out. This show will make you laugh, cry and feel downright warm and fuzzy about humans, which is needed these days! Go watch it #Believe

[Robyn Pugh @MsRobynPugh]

To all the teachers returning to work this week I wish you the best of luck! If you made it through last year you can make it through this year. Hope to be joining you soon!

It is important to learn, understand and acknowledge why these 'numbers' are significant. It is not about sensationalizing this history but shaping current events so we all can heal; not to overlook, normalize or silence these little children any longer but to bring them home. 🧡

Thousands of Calgarians marked Canada’s 154th birthday Thursday by reflecting, listening, and participating in ceremonies to show solidarity with Indigenous peoples. @CTVMarkVillani https://t.co/USbB2dOSoI

I love this country

I care about it deeply

Every day, I fight to make it a better place

Right now, we are in mourning as unmarked graves are found

And, as Indigenous communities grieve

They have asked that we mark #CanadaDay in reflection not celebration

I will honour this
