Had loads of fun on this project getting behind-the-scenes access to #airport systems. Next we pilot with an #airline in #Canada.
Delighted to attend National AccessAbility Week where we showcased our collaboration with NRC, Transport Canada and CTA to design a #jobaid for #groundhandlers and check-in agents that facilitates the safe transportation of #mobilityaids. @algonquincollege.bsky.social

Finally read Annual Migration of Clouds by @premeemohamed.com. Beautifully crafted prose and a story that embedded itself under my skin. Look forward to more.

1. Every once in a while I’ll read about or be told about or see nominated for an award a novel that, when I read it for myself, I don’t understand what the fuss is about; it’s something I don’t find particularly interesting or worthy of the praise. And when that happens, do you know what I do?

Announcing #PrideClub, one of two programs that sprung from our study of #SLGBTQIA+ international students. A warm thanks to the Victimology Research Centre, @maxottawa.bsky.social and @algonquincollege.bsky.social Student Support Services for their support.
