We pause to acknowledge and reflect and my hope is we do this not just today, but as a natural part of our personal learning journey. #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation #TruthAndReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay

[Canada @Canada]

September 30 marks #OrangeShirtDay and the first National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation. We wear orange to remember the Indigenous children who were sent to Residential Schools and never returned, and to honour the Survivors, their families, and their communities. #NDTR

@DurhamHealth @ONgov @TownOfAjax @RegionofDurham @LakeridgeHealth @ClaringtonON @oshawacity @CityofPickering @TownofWhitby @TownshipOfBrock @TwpofScugog @DurhamHealth this is not ok. Especially at a time when health equity is at the forefront of people’s minds. Get it together!

Angry it’s come to this but relieved the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is taking action. I’m a person of colour and my initial reaction to @fordnation giving police authority to arbitrarily stop and question anyone made me very uneasy...made me scared.

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association plans to challenge Ontario's new police powers: 'The regulation brings back the odious "driving while black" police stop, and introduces a "walking while black" offence. This is formalized, legalized carding, and that’s unconstitutional.'

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

As though racialized communities don’t have enough to worry about in this pandemic. Now you’re giving police the power to stop anyone and question them. Out of control @fordnation @JohnTory @mayordaveryan

[CTV News Toronto @CTVToronto]

#BREAKING: Ontario announced police will have the authority to stop vehicles and ask individuals why they left their residence as part of the new measures introduced to curb the spread of COVID-19.

@breakfasttv @DinaPugliese @Sid_Seixeiro crack the eggs! It’s not easy to crush eggs in your palm.

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

@CanRevAgency That’s the number I phoned this morning. Voice recording said because of large call volumes I have to call back, and then hung up. It’s infuriating! And you never contacted me about my account being locked!

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

(2/)...why with the recent racist behaviour at St. Mary high school and the year book debacle, I’m surprised not more Durham residents are calling out the racist behaviour in all other spaces.

The Region of Durham is facing backlash after what’s being described as a tone-deaf scavenger hunt meant to mark Black History Month surfaced online.​ https://t.co/WHYsADrGAw

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

I live in the Durham region. Look inward region officials and examine why this happened. Could it be that you don’t have proper representation of BIPOC in your offices?🤔 One might even begin to think this is systemic...(1/2)

@Bell_LetsTalk #BellLetsTalk Reminder to check-in with yourself, your family, and friends. Sometimes the strongest person you know could be suffering quietly, showing up each and every day with their A-game. Just because someone’s carrying it well, it doesn’t mean they’re not hurting.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

It's International Day to End Violence against Women.

Whoever needs to hear this today:
We hear you. We see you.
We believe you.

You’re not alone. 🧡

Yes! “Education doesn’t have to be private it just has to work.” @KamalaHarris Westmont High and your Canadian roots are all rooting for you! Make us proud.

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

Yes, expose the racist behaviour @StMaryCSS. Being silent while these atrocities continue is a crime on its own. How do we teach youth accountability when administration at the school haven’t taken responsibility for what’s transpired?

[Durham Regional Police @DRPS]

An investigation into racist and inappropriate content in a high school yearbook continues and nine other students have come forward to say their profiles were also tampered with. https://t.co/dQXyoDNzdz

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

@StMaryCSS 2/2 I’ve not had a positive experience with school administration. Each time I’ve tried to reach out to the principal she passes me off to someone else. She’s unresponsive and disrespectful. Does your admin team represent diversity & inclusion?

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

@StMaryCSS (1/2)My son is a student here. I’m calling out the administration. Susan Duane, you claim the racist comment was published “unknowingly”. Does the school not have a process for approval? And are you not responsible for the school as principal?

[Tess Koerner @TessKoerner]

@mayordaveryan Thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern in this matter. My son attends St. Mary, and we, as a family are very concerned. Can we expect a follow-up statement from you about the outcome of the investigation?
