Looking to practice your facilitation skills in the real world? I'm looking for facilitators to help with my project at StatCan. Must be bilingual and located in Ottawa region. Would be informal (ie micromission, skill-building, development). DM if interested. Please retweet! 😁

@mizmulligan Thanks for organizing this, Jen. I made some new acquaintances and refreshed some old ones.

@AdamHillPhoto Actually stayed there once. Lovely place. It was "a bit breezy", gusting up to 80km/hr, flattening tents. I would hate to see "windy."

For an assignment, I asked some of my terminal paediatric palliative care patients what they had enjoyed in life, and what gave it meaning. Kids can be so wise, y'know. Here are some of the responses (Thread).

@EdBernacki There's a lot of 'wow' in this one for sure. You can't impress everyone, but this should come close.
