A great way to spend a sun filled labour-less Labour Day! 🌞

Home team lost 😞.

Last month I was at the @westgov in Coeur d’Alene, ID for their annual meeting where the willingness to work across state lines was the theme that permeated nearly every conversation.

It was a pleasure meeting #WhatcomCounty Executive Satpal Sidhu. Originally from Punjab in 🇮🇳 (where I was formerly Consul General), Mr. Sidhu moved first to 🇨🇦 & then 🇺🇸.

I look forward to working with him & his office to strengthen 🇨🇦🇺🇸 economic ties.

[Whatcom County Gov @Whatcomctygov]

🇺🇸 / 🇨🇦: Did you know that more than 2500 jobs in Whatcom County are dependent on economic ties between Whatcom County & Canada? Today County Executive Satpal Sidhu met with Mia Yen, Consul General of Canada in Seattle, to discuss cooperation opportunities w/ @CanCGSeattle

[Dave Mazur @RCNintheUSN]

It was a great day at CANFLTPAC HQ yesterday as the Fleet Chief was officially recognized as a CPO1, and I was officially made Commodore. If you look closely, I think the RCN actually bought me a sailboat as a present - with Navy sails and all.

[Mia Yen 🇨🇦 @MiaYenCanada]

Earlier this week I travelled to @RichlandWA where I met 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 legislators participating in LEHI — the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute established by @PNWER, @ENERGY & @uidaho.

During the Canadian Reception in #hmcssaskatoon and #hmcsyellowknife during Seattle Seafair, a leadership challenge resulted in the ultimate hockey match - Canada vs the US (or RCN (CCFP) vs the USCG (Comd D13)). Guess who won!!!!

[Mia Yen 🇨🇦 @MiaYenCanada]

I enjoyed meeting @MayorofSeattle & listening to him recount his experiences as a kid playing 🏒⛸ in my hometown of #Vancouver.

We also discussed economic recovery, cross border linkages & security of our citizens locally, regionally & globally. 🌎👮🏽
