“My work has helped me grow as an athlete just as my athletics has helped me grow in my work."
In every game Team Homan plays, Sarah Wilkes is the first one to throw rocks down the ice, helping to set the table from the first end to the last.
Away from the rink, she's a registered psychotherapist.
She spoke to Gameday London's Jason Winders this week about managing her athletic and professional careers, and how the two help each other out:

The prospect of students using AI to write essays should alarm everyone. The purpose of education isn’t to pass exams, it’s to become someone who can read deeply, who can communicate, who can think. We mustn’t farm out our minds to machines.
@chrisjlively @ForensicStfx@margocwatt Congratulations @margocwatt. So well deserved, and the way you involved so many students in this book speaks volumes about your commitment to students and advancing the discipline. I hope to be better dressed next time I am among CJS brass.
Canada Soccer partners with Soccability Canada 🍁
Together with @SoccabilityC, Canada Soccer is proud to announce the launch of the Accessible Soccer Project, an initiative designed to reduce barriers for individuals with disabilities to participate in soccer.
I’ve just finished reading @JonHaidt’s bestselling new book THE ANXIOUS GENERATION.
I think it may be the most important nonfiction book of the decade, and today I want to tell you why. 🧵
On behalf of Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia's staff, clients, volunteers, and Board of Directors, we are beyond excited and filled with gratitude to announce that Department of Justice Canada has granted us $672,000, over three years, to support our goals of addressing youth justice gaps in rural Nova Scotia.
Funding for this project, "Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Reduced Recidivism of Criminalized Youth in Yarmouth, Antigonish, and Truro", will allow us to hire three full-time Youth Justice Coordinators to address gaps in existing supports for youth involved in the criminal justice system. The Coordinators will create collaborative networks to deliver programming, with the goal of helping youth to rehabilitate, reintegrate into their communities, and smoothly exit the criminal justice system before the age of 18.
Regarding this incredible contribution, Susan Ayles, our Director of Programs, shared: "We are thrilled about and beyond grateful for this game-changing funding. It will allow us to identify the gaps needed to support our youth across the province in exiting the justice system".
Thank you to the Honourable Arif Virani, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada; Darren Fisher, Member of Parliament for Dartmouth-Cole Harbour; and the entire Department of Justice Canada team for funding this essential project and actively supporting Canadian youth to overcome barriers to justice, integrate into their communities, and achieve their goals.
CoSA programs are effective at reducing sexual offending recidivism post-release/treatment. It puzzles me that they're not widespread, & permanently funded as evidence-based crime prevention government strategies, especially for child harm prevention. https://t.co/7aOb4I3GRF
