A new public library in my area has these work stations for caregivers with babies! Maybe these are common in other places but Ive never seen anything like this before.
Thank you for inviting me @MrsKaitlinSmith. This made my day! It was a pleasure to speak to the students at @DorsetDrive. Loved all their energy and excitement! @PeelSchools
AMAZING virtual visit with @Sharanja_J today! Our Ss @DorsetDrive LOVED her story, learning about #TamilHeritageMonth and even got to learn some Tamil! Thank you so much for teaching us all about this beautiful culture and inspiring our Ss to be authors 💕💕 @PeelSchools
Toronto isn’t Toronto without us. Love, Scarborough.
Today marks the official launch of our #LoveScarborough campaign to shed light on the healthcare inequities in the city of Toronto and raise $100 million dollars for our Scarborough hospitals.
Thank you to Sharanja J & Tamil Storytime for donating dual language children's books and goodies that'll be used to support our upcoming @SHNFoundation events! 🙌❤️ We are grateful for the support! #ScarbTO
Stories have played, & will continue to play, a role in educating Canadians, young & old, about the terrible legacy of Residential Schools. There's no excuse not to know the history or its impact. Here is a thread of books, thanks to all who listed them over the last week (1/?)
Representation and diversity matters in children’s books. Children learn so much about the world through what they read, and it’s important to share books that have diverse characters and stories. Here are some of my favourites.
Knowledge is critical to understanding, and a vital step in fighting racism in Canada and beyond. We’ve assembled a collection of books for adults, teens and kids on #BlackLivesMatter. Get started: https://t.co/FqeuoIIrWP
Today, on Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, we mark the anniversary of the end of the war in Sri Lanka and honour the innocent people who lost their lives and the many who were displaced. We also recognize that today is a day of trauma and grief for Toronto’s Tamil community.
Dr. Subarna Thirugnanam, an intensive care physician at Markham Stouffville Hospital, says she is losing her hair from showering so much because she worries: "Am I going to get my family sick?" https://t.co/GtSSrd2wBM @WendyMesleyCBC
@TorontoStar@dfeschuk I am the nurse in this story. As a healthcare worker during COVID, it has been the most emotionally challenging period of my career. Stories like this will weigh heavy on one’s heart and steal a piece of your soul. It is the sacrifice we make to never allow a pt to die alone.
My daughter has asked to read this book a couple of times as she misses her grandma due to social distancing. It’s amazing how books can bring comfort in difficult times.
Here’s my offer. I will give you 100% of your rent up to $2000 if you help me spread the #staythefuckhome message by retweeting this, following me, and tagging someone that is #stayingthefuckhome.
We've recently provided our supply of nitrile gloves and N95 masks to the City of Toronto, which are used in our conservation lab for handling rare collections.
@KatZhang@SimonBooks We did take out, and found that she loves the shrimp filling inside. I can add this to the list of few things my picky toddler will eat, so thank you for introducing the idea to us. Happy New Year!
Warning, do not read when hungry. Have you ever read a book and really craved a food that was described in it? My daughter is now asking if we can make baos tomorrow. My bao making skills are zero and I’m hoping take-out delivers. @SimonBooks@KatZhang#kidslit
Another great book from my holds at @torontolibrary this week. This book helps to teach children about consent, personal space and that saying no is a choice they have. @coilyandcute#kidslit
@TPLBRNDN@SimonBooks@KatZhang Thanks, Brendon! She actually told me she doesn’t want to buy it and wants to make it like Amy did in the book. 🙈 There is actually a recipe at the end of the book!
