What a gift to have the author of Five Little Indians, Michelle Good, here with the literary insight of Shelagh Rogers (didn’t realize how much I missed her voice on the radio!). Thank you for being here @Creeborn at #HousingCentral

“I really believe if we believe in housing, we have to stand behind it… even if it means delivering a message that makes some people feel uncomfortable.” Thank you @Dave_Eby for joining us at #HousingCentral 🏠

Beautiful buildings, courtyards with benches and play areas, ocean-inspired colours, universal design and always a community room - thanks @derenda_m for sharing how Bridge Meadows has created welcoming spaces for kids in care. #HousingCentral

"When I think about Black History Month, the highlight for me is that we have finally paused and realized that Canada’s history can’t be complete without the story of Black people, and the story of Indigenous people." -Dr. Moussa Magassa https://t.co/UpCYc4fpYp
