It’s with unfathomable sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dallas on Thursday, February 17th. Forty eight years old, he died of natural causes while we have no words for the shock we are all feeling. We join the rest our music community and fans in grief.

Thank you @DavidAmber and Paul Sidhu for putting this piece together with @Sportsnet . Important conversations that need to happen as we continue to push the needle in the right direction towards equality in sport and hockey. Hopefully one day this is not a story 🤞 🏳️‍🌈

In the Yukon wilderness, Jordan Lincez is my nearest neighbour. He is an educator and also plays bagpipes. We decided to combine bhangra to bagpipe tunes while keeping 'social distancing' intact.

Here it goes, the future votes with @studentvote for @OBpulse! Kids know where it’s at.

[S. Alexander @findalexander]

We do this in classrooms so often and I think the stigma of even talking about it is diminishing. So on #BellLetsTalk day, continue talking. https://t.co/yTqkByI1qo

What an amazing surprise. Today, @JustinTrudeau stopped by to speak to the Teacher’s Institute. The first PM to address teachers in the 22 history of the program. As we approach, Nov 11; PM Trudeau reminded us of the need for acceptance in the world. #eduparl #parledu
