The photo below is of my maternal grandmother (L) & a friend holding a newspaper announcing the end war… Today I acknowledge lives lost & forever changed due to war. May we find ways to prevent war by addressing inequality & desperation that open the door to authoritarianism. #lestweforget

This morning I went for a jog in #Helsinki. I’m here to check out first hand how they deliver and operate #housingfirst… and ask many many questions. Thanks to CHRA for organizing & to the Y-Foundation (Y-Säätiö) for hosting. Really looking forward to getting started. #housing

Was out with the pup before 6 am, the sky was as clear as could be with the moon and stars so visible. A street lamp was too bright for the picture to turn out. When I looked down 2 deer were staring at me. What a city to live in #yyj. #beautifulbc

Went for a stroll downtown yesterday evening & government street & the harbour were absolutely packed. There was great energy. I thought what a good reminder it was that #Victoria is still one of the most charming cities in #Canada, despite its challenges. Worth the hard conversations. #yyj #bcpoli

The panel I enjoyed the most from #beyondthenoise last week was the one on the media’s role in framing the #housing crisis. It was incredibly interesting to hear the perspectives & reflections on public trust. I kind of knew what to expect but it was more. #media #journalism
