The @cdnwomenfdn reports 1/5 women experiencing online harassment. This is not acceptable. Thank you
@GGCanada for sharing your experiences and the role we all have to play in creating safe, inclusive and respectful spaces to engage in public life.

[Governor General of Canada @GGCanada]

A busy day in Toronto!

Thank you to @TheSocialCTV, @breakfasttv and @DonnaSound for discussing the importance of reconciliation and talking openly about protecting women and girls from abuse on social media.

Together, we can create safer online spaces for all.

The main things I have tried to absorb from my father’s experience of life are his humility and his grace, and so these words from his @queensu speech really touched me… 1/3

I usually preface a post with an excerpt from what I post, but every word of this breathtakingly beautiful and profound essay by the great retired Justice Rosie Abella of Canada is so perfect that I can’t bring myself to do anything but say: please read ⬇️

It’s inspiring to see 🇨🇦 “academic diplomacy” in action! Community -impact through multi-lens research (people/planet/economy/health) is what the @QEScholars program is all about. The future is bright! Honoured to experience this with colleagues from
@univcan + @RideauHallFdn 🌎

[Teresa Marques @Termarques]

In Kenya visiting w/ incredible @QEScholars and the cmty + school projects they work with. Shout out to the @UPEI students collaborating across veterinary/climate/nutrition fields to enhance family diets, ⬆️ quality milk production, + promote environmentally sustainable practices

Still feeling the feels from yesterday’s @Michener_Journo awards (“Michener-palooza”). Incredibly moving stories of real social change initiated by passionate, brave + dedicated 🇨🇦 journalists. Congrats to finalists + winners! @RideauHallFdn team honoured to serve + support.

[Lisa LaFlamme @LisaLaFlamme_]

So powerful to be at Rideau Hall today as Governor General Mary Simon, gracious host of The Michener Awards, celebrated outstanding public service journalism. Particularly poignant this week as so many more journalists, all dear friends and former colleagues have lost their jobs.

[Teresa Marques @Termarques]

@IDRC_CRDI @CanadaDev Wonderful news! Congratulations @Julie_Delahanty!

[Teresa Marques @Termarques]

Powerful and moving words by Dr. Evelyn Steinhauer from the ATEP program @UAlberta. “Indigenous teachers save lives because trajectories change.” Excellent session on shifting the narrative from deficit to abundance in ITE. #IndigenousEducation

[Teresa Marques @Termarques]

Back from #Nunavut feeling completely inspired by the people, the majestic landscape, and the innovation all around that’s anchored in traditional culture + language. It was an incredible week of learning, listening, and a sorry (but super fun) attempt at fishing too 🐟

[Teresa Marques @Termarques]
