We won! First place in the ladies' 10k category and by far the fastest in my lifetime (not sure the gender split makes sense when you're running with a pup!). I also got to meet Murphy, the first Hamilton Animal Services dog taken out for a Steeltown Canicross run. Awesome day. 🐾@steeltown.canicross

Crowley and I are racing for the Hammer Animal Services this weekend. A great cause. Check it out >> raceroster.com/events/2025/...

Enviro nerd #Halloween costumes of yore. Sad that I cannot find my 'Matt Damon potty strike' & 'ag runoff' costume pics, but here's dirty beach and carbon credit.

Great interview on Metro Morning with Jennifer Bonnell, author of Reclaiming the Don, about the bold history of Toronto's iconic river. More news this week about the opening of Biidaasige Park jenniferbonnell.com/books-public... @toronto.ca @waterfrontoronto.bsky.social @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

From friends, at a water festival in Lyon, France.

Celebrating my dear friend Cindy's 50th with a bike ride & then onto Massey Hall (131) for Oscar Peterson's 100th! What a great day! #JazzSky @teamroxycindy #oscarpeterson

New drops: Inspired by #Handel's Water Music (1717), “Echoes of the Thames” transports listeners across 150 years of water quality data. Performed by #Indiana U’s #Baroque Orchestra. 🎵 Who knew the #phosphorus loads could sound so beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6Q...

A lovely read. As told by law professor Aimée Craft.

The Point Abino Lighthouse, constructed in 1917 by the Department of Marine and Fisheries.

I always enjoy the Ego Meter, but I was tickled to see the discovery of #bryozoa (an indicator of water quality), at the mouth of the Don, made the list! Bryozoa are super cool. 🕶️🐟

What a great man (Hui Yen 'Sam' Louie). The memories I have of #Grossmans Tavern Sunday Jazz are legendary. Such an iconic Toronto space, of the best kind. Get your parasols up! 🎵🎷☂️ @theglobeandmail.com #LivesLived www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

We had so much fun at the launch. What a great day for water monitoring groups and everyone in the water sector! Congrats to the @waterrangers.bsky.social team!

How have I missed this gem of an art gallery in Ridgeway, Ontario until now?

Artist Peter Cheung is capturing some #LakeErieLove that is familiar and close to my heart rookleys.com/artists/246-...

These kids are amazing! Students calling themselves, Équipe Francobotique, has been selected to represent Canada at the WAFFLE Int'l FLL Championships in Massachusetts with their #waterquality Sentry226 robotic project. They're seeking support to build the prototype sites.google.com/view/equipef...

Anyone need a pup in your newsfeed today? Crowley and I are competing in our first official #canicross race in Orangeville tomorrow. We're novice, but I feel like we'll be winners😜. So excited! #EnglishSetters

What a fantastic week is North Dakota - a wrap of the Red River Basin Commission's 42nd Summit. The long-term dedication to cross-border collaboration is impressive.

Not to mention, the very best events are ones that include farmers. We planted lots of seeds.

A new section in the weekend @theglobeandmail.com today! Who doesn't need good news🍁?

I finally read Scott Young’s The Flood (McClelland & Stewart, 1956). Scott was a Canadian journalist (& father of Neil Young🎸). He reported on the Great #Winnipeg Flood of 1950 which shaped the book. Charming read. I've witnessed dam engineering in spring...thinking this could be a fiction genre.

"Transboundary" is the topic of the hour😰! Rhetoric aside, I'm looking forward to the 42nd annual Red River Basin Commission's Summit next week, where First Nations, Métis, federal, state & provincial agencies discuss collaborative water management. Water brings nations together. #strongertogether
