These look FANGtastic!!! 🎃🍕+🦇🌭
Here at #CathersLakeHome, the kiddos really enjoy Halloween. They love carving pumpkins 🎃 and decorating the house with bats. 🦇 But the scariest of them all? Halloween themed food! They worked hard to get pumpkin shaped pizza and beef shaped into a bat. Oh boy, was it delicious! 😋🖤 #EERIEsistable

I definitely felt the need to go more patriotic this year 🇨🇦🎉 - so for fairly obvious reasons (and 100% inspired by this onesie) I’m calling this Halloween costume #ElbowsUp! 💪❤️💀💀💀 #CanadaStrong #Halloween2025
PS: The #ThisWayUp strips will be taped just above my elbows once I get to the office… 😂❤️

Loved spending quality time with this adorable perma-winking nugget yesterday! 🐶❤️
Monday mornings can ONLY be made better by having #PuppyEnergy at the #AdminOffice! Meet Indy, who’s a bounding bundle of fluffy joy from #NorthernHopeDogRescue - and we have a feeling we’ll be seeing him a LOT around here as he grows into a big sweet doggo! 🐶❤️ #LuckyUs #DogsOfNACL #PuppyLove

Starting today, NACL is celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM), a national campaign that recognizes the contributions of people with a disability and promotes inclusive hiring practices. DID YOU KNOW: 1 in 4 Canadians have a disability? That’s nearly 8 million people!
