On #AgeismAwarenessDay, we need to make gendered ageism and its impact on older women visible, so decision makers can recognise & take action to address its systemic effect. Sometimes we forget the obvious—one day we will all be older.

Residential schools are a significant part of our history. Wearing an orange shirt is one way to recognize the experience of those who went to Indian residential schools, to honour them, and show a collective commitment to ensure that Every Child Matters.
