Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay! People First members know what #InclusionMeans to them. It means being respected and accepted, having your voice heard, making your own decisions, and being treated equally. Inclusion means being empowered to be who you are! #WDSD
Took this photo of the Alex Trebek mural last night at Sudbury Secondary School, Trebek attended the school when he was growing up in Sudbury. Created by Montreal based artist Kevin Ledo as part of the Up Here festival which takes place this weekend.
Today is #PTSDawarenessday - a day to acknowledge that not all wounds are visible. Let’s spread awareness on this important topic and #EndTheStigma surrounding mental illness. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
“Together we rise, we heal, we overcome.”
Record high #Covid19 cases and the the Premier says “Ontario is doing pretty well right now.” Then, the Minister of #OntEd tells all schools across the province "they had better plan to be open" and announces an education worker vaccine registry that doesn't include #Sudbury.
Hearing stories of parents interrupting and disrupting classes during online learning and finding it okay to yell at teachers.
Blame @Sflecce. He's spent an entire year shaming teachers and calling them greedy. He's lied to parents, staff and students.
Everyone involved in public education in this province should be upset, furious, about this! They are purposely avoiding addressing this issue, hoping it will get lost in daily news cycles. They are also too busy posting videos telling us to stay home! #Shame
In 2018, @fordnation took away paid sick days.
He took them away from frontline workers, low-wage earners, single moms…
The people struggling to make ends meet.
And now, when they are needed the most, they aren’t there.

Today, I’m waking in the rain for @OvarianCanada’s #WalkofHope. Did you know that
1 in 2 women diagnosed with #ovariancancer won’t live to see another 5 years? That’s a stat that hasn’t changed in 50 years. Together, we can change this!
