My favourite thing about the tweets I’ve seen is that even though many folks weren’t Trudeau fans, they were defending his technique- because accurate canoeing information is more important than partisanship. 🤣

Not to get political here, but we'd like to point out that
@JustinTrudeau was actually paddling his #canoe correctly during Thursday's photo opp. Many on Twitter derided him for #canoeing backwards, but that's how you do it when #paddling solo. #cdnpolil

Wow!! The wheels are turning about all the ways we could use technology like this for future staff training.
Maybe not as intense an experience, but similar.
@Camphacker this seems like the type of thing that would be up your alley too. How cool is this?

Today I witnessed the virtual reality programme set up by Cornerstone which puts you into the inner world of a child suffering trauma and neglect. Harrowing, but I hope an immensely powerful tool for social workers. @markowers37 @cornerstonevr

@leninpeep Awesome! Congrats and good luck. :)

[TheCampNerd @thecampnerd]

@leninpeep Were you on a break? Because she might have been mad that you went for a walk when you should have been with the campers.

Good luck!

[TheCampNerd @thecampnerd]

@softhoe I'm happy to chat about how to frame it for job/ college applications - just reach out if you want some guidance. :)
