Halfway through Day 1 of Ag Media Summit! Glad to be part of the @adfarm team attending this year, meeting and learning from some very smart folks in agriculture.
The last couple of days have been horrible for Canadian journalism. Thinking of the journalists who lost their jobs at Global News and Bell Media and the communities across Canada that lost local news coverage, which is an important lifeline in many areas outside of major cities.
Last week I got the opportunity to visit our @adfarm Kansas City office to meet with clients as well as some team members that I had only met online. The visit was topped off with the office family barbecue (with delicious dishes from the team). Look at this amazing rooftop view.
Through all kinds of weather, Calgary AdFarmers had a great time this week at @AginMotion, supporting clients and checking out the latest in #WestCdnAg! #AIM23
Google+ is trending in Canada. It was one of the first social media platforms I managed for clients (along with Twitter). I didn't like it then, and I didn't think it was particularly effective, so I don't know what everyone is remembering so fondly about it ๐ค
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. #DYK that trans and gender non conforming people are twice as likely to experience severe poverty and homelessness compared with the general population.

It was a privilege to listen to @GGCanada deliver the @inclusion_ca LaFontaine-Baldwin Lecture, with many Elders in the room, including Elder Dr. Reg and Elder Rose Crowshoe. An especially profound experience for me as an immigrant Canadian. Thankful to @UnitedWayCgy for the opp.
Last night, #GGSimon delivered the 19th annual LaFontaine-Baldwin Lecture, which explored how newcomers to Canada can participate in and better understand reconciliation.

Today marks Sisters in Spirit Day honouring the memory of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada. We remember them and are thinking of their families and loved ones on this day and always ๐งก๐ชถ
