Nearly every time I go to the grocery store these days, someone asks me for help covering bare essential groceries. I do. If you can also, please do. If not, please be gracious.

@AshleyDawnBach @TedNorris5 @mmscholarships @mcgillu @NANComms @youthincare So, so well deserved! Congratulations, Ashley!

On #NationalHousingDay, I am thankful for @WabanoHealth and their help with a family member who is currently unhoused. Accessing and keeping stable housing has so many ripple effects, not just on the health, lives and livelihoods of those unhoused, but also on those around them.

@BrentToderian Public washrooms, affordable housing, more car-free zones, safe injection sites, and more collab & action between business improvement associations, community health orgs, orgs serving people experiencing homelessness, and other orgs in community.

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

@Algonquin65 I entirely appreciate this sentiment, while also humbly asking that people consider whose traditional territories their cottages are on.

Great to see #eval job posting explicitly seeking support with anti-oppressive, anti-racist, anti-colonial & trauma-informed approaches! #EmergingEvaluators

Glad for safe space for DEI conversations & networking for racialized & minoritized members at #EvalC2021. I find this continuum on becoming an anti-racist multicultural organization helpful https://t.co/bbOKt2mTKn

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

Excited to take part in today’s #EvalC2021 workshop on anti-racism and evaluation practice. As challenging as this is sometimes, I’m grateful for a community of practitioners open to doing this work together.

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

@annwprice Thanks to both of you for a great workshop and for graciously sharing your experience, knowledge (and guidance!) Already shared some of the workshop learnings with colleagues.

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

A bright spot: @WabanoHealth & @OttawaHealth #COVID19 vaccine partnership. Culturally responsive, effectively reaching Indigenous people in #ottcity, and quick, easy & accessible phone booking system. Similar partnerships w/ other communities in #ottcity would be great.

[Wabano Centre @WabanoHealth]

First Nation, Inuit & Métis community members who are age 16+, as well as their spouses & family household members, can book an appointment to get the #COVID19 vaccine at the St. Laurent Complex.
Call @OttawaHealth at 613-691-5505 today!

@AshleyDawnBach Incentive to renew my "expired" status card!

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

We can stop engaging in and upholding white supremacy, even if we felt we had to use some characteristics just to get by and survive. @COCoQC's White Supremacy Culture in Organizations is a helpful starting point: https://t.co/fKX21TsnVt

[Sonya Howard @SonyaHoward]

We have lots of work to do, within ourselves, our families, communities, workplaces, and governments, to move towards becoming anti-racist. While this tool may not change systemic racism immediately, it might help move us along the continuum: https://t.co/m2DydCB6Xu
