Very sad to hear the news of Murray Sinclair passing today. He was a giant in leading Truth & Reconciliation in Canada. His humility and wisdom were exceptional, while his gentle ways of being provided a supported way in the steps forward. Much love for all his work and service.

@RonSexsmith Thanks for the smile this Sunday morning! Your puns never fail.

@InuitRose54 So much love with you. This should never have happened. You were a sweet child and now, a sweet woman. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

May we never forget that Truth & Reconciliation Day is not only about the legacies of residential schools, but current oppression of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Systemic issues continue for both children & adults. We need to be allies & work together to disrupt injustice. #hope

@mcarolynroberts So deserved, my friend! ♥️

[Laurie Johnston (she/her) 🩵 @learningmpowers]

Empowering a day of quiet reflection vs egregious celebrations. How can we recognize and acknowledge the ongoing wrongs, while walking together forward for a better future? #ReconciliACTION #equity #walkalongside #healing #ohcanada

[Laurie Johnston (she/her) 🩵 @learningmpowers]

Empowering our walk alongside in Reconciliation forward. Canada has not and continues to not treat Indigenous Peoples well. Although we may not be responsible for the past, we do own our present and the need to co-create a better future. No more inequity, no more oppression.

@mcarolynroberts Congrats, Carolyn. You are a fierce force and UBC is blessed to have you walking alongside ♥️

@DanWuori My daughter started calling “mahs” after hearing grandma’s purse, car, glasses. Added “y” as a term of adoration. We then all called her “Mahsy” until she passed. My son has a hockey jersey of her fave team. The number is 88 for her age & Mahsy for name. Unique & appropriate.

@WestJet You state 3 days to pay fare on top of promotion, as well as on your hold fare receipts. Took hold on May 14; went to pay evening of 17, fare was gone. Then, agent says it is 72 hours. Guest support won’t own part and honor fare. Family event is now blown. Be, do better!
