Retired CEO Hamilton Community Foundation, recovering former politician, lover of cities, books, basketball, dogs and my City Councillor Wife & our 3 kids…
My Mom’s Dad, Francis (Frank) Hitchins, grew up on Locke Street in Hamilton and was killed at age 23 during the Liberation of Holland. He is buried in Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. Tomorrow and everyday, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. #lestweforget🌺

Love this family history. My Great Great Grandfather H.W. Cooke ran a pub on Picton Street in London, England. Legal agreement from 1902 with the brewery. Should have kept the tradition alive…

Hey Catherine, just picked up my copy! Can’t wait to crack it open. Sold out at @indigo in the PATH but found a copy at the Eaton Centre. Love the “Hammer from the Hammer”. #HamOnt

Bumped into this random dude at the car wash. #HamOnt politics may have been discussed. I think he’d make a very promising future candidate! (-:

Memories of 9/11. October 2000 @nycmarathon picture, our running group on top of the World Trade Centre. A year later we returned and honorary marathon race starters were family members of people who had perished. Never forget the emotions of a grieving city.

Love having our 3 kids home! Another few weeks and they will be back at school on both coasts and we will once again be empty nesters. ❤️

In search of the perfect lobster roll! And the winner is: Richard’s at Brackley Beach PEI.

I know. It’s hard work, but somebody has to do it…

I love wandering through cemeteries. This grave is in the old Jewish Cemetery in Victoria. I think I would have liked this fellow a lot! R.I.P.

Touring the BC legislature with my kid. We do love our democratic institutions. And I suspect she may one day be a legislator! ❤️

Today is Netherlands Liberation Day. My maternal grandfather Frank Hitchins was killed at 23 in that final push to defeat the Nazis. Today we remember Frank and so many others who gave their lives in service of Liberty. #liberationday
