It's been a tough week in @GovGPAA world. Last weekend we lost one of our co-founders, Peter Herrndorf, then we lost Gordon Pinsent. He was a Canadian icon. He was also kind, thoughtful and funny and made everyone feel like they mattered. I'm grateful I got to work with him.
The #GGAwards news is out and I couldn't be happier for our incredible group of laureates. Looking forward to the Gala at @CanadasNAC in May and also to getting a little more sleep tonight than I have in many days.
My husband and I loved your concert at @CanadasNAC on Friday, @RoyalWood! It felt like singing along with an old friend. And we're excited about your new album. I'm wearing my The Burning Bright t-shirt today, our 9th wedding anniversary. Here's our calendar notification ๐๐ถ
As usual on #GGAwards Gala night, it's 4 a.m. and I'm just getting to bed. I love my job and it's been a beautiful gift to be back at @CanadasNAC. I work with the most incredible people. Congratulations to our phenomenal laureates and all of us for surviving Gala week!
Thank you, thank you, thank you @hydroottawa! We have power and internet! I did a happy dance in my driveway when we came home to lights that turn on and a fridge that works. My backyard doesn't look great but it could have been much worse. We are so grateful.
This brave girl got her second dose of the vaccine with barely a tear at #Jabapalooza today, thanks to @nilikm and her team. The children's music in the gym and kind staff helped A LOT in making this experience as painless as possible for us.
I had the pleasure of working with Jean-Marc Vallรฉe for @GovGPAA gala weekend in 2015. He was fun, sweet and thoughtful. His Legacy Interview, filmed on #GGAwards gala day, is incredibly touching. My heart goes out to his sons and loved ones. What a loss. https://t.co/7MbJ9OqPPd
My five-year-old was happy to get vaccinated two weeks ago and I booked my booster last night when the portal opened early. Now we just need an appointment for my husband. So proud of our brave girl. She didn't even say she had a sore arm! #COVID19on
I've now seen this performance dozens of times. I get teary-eyed every time I watch it. @olreid is incredible. Watch the @GovGPAA special Friday at 7 p.m./ 7:30 NT on CBC and CBC Gem. #GGAwards
We filmed @olreid on the HOTTEST day of the year and he absolutely killed it. Tune in to the #GGAwards Friday 7pm ET on @CBC@cbcgem to see his gorgeous performance in honour of Catherine OโHara!
The #GGAwards special is incredible. So much amazing talent and wonderful people have poured their hearts into it. It's on CBC on November 26. I'm excited!
I was dressed as Millennium era @howied last night. My five-year-old in her lion costume asked if I was wearing pyjamas. I told her I was dressed as my favourite band when I was her age, #BSB. We had the best time trick-or-treating.
It's a tough day when we lose a @GovGPAA laureate. Martha Henry was special. I'm grateful for the chance to work with her over our gala weekends, for her wisdom and her dedication to her craft. She was a formidable woman. My heart goes out to the folks at @stratfest.
We are overcome with grief at the death of Martha Henry, just 12 days after her final performance in Three Tall Women.
โIn losing Martha Henry we have lost the dearest friend, the most inspiring mentor and an unforgettable, original talent" - Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino.
.@anniefdowns, I lost a dear friend last month. I opened my mailbox tonight to find Remember God. I realized immediately who it was from - my sweet cousin Sam. And now I'm a blubbering mess. I'm grateful to have this book and for such thoughtful friends on this grief journey.
@brittpurdy The podcast is great but start with episodes from a few years ago for the baby stage. It's now about parenting in general. Congratulations on your new baby!
@CAFinUS Before my grandfather, an Army veteran, died at 90, he told me, with a tear in his eye, the Cree Code Talkers changed everything. We owe them so much. Remembering Checker Tomkins and so many others today.
My daughter's kindergarten class will watch this video today. It's the story of Phyllis Webstad and #OrangeShirtDay. It's a good way to open up the conversation about #NTRD with your kids. https://t.co/kK4T9eWvHZ
