Happy Mother's Day to our mothers, aunties, grandmothers and god moms!! Thank-you for everything you do for your families.

Women are the heart of the family in Indigenous cultures. They are the providers & often our most highly respected knowledge-keepers. I reflect on my own mother, who like so many other Indigenous women, carried an incredible strength & resilience. Happy Mother's Day!

It's #HandHygiene Day and frequent #handwashing remains one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection, including #COVID19. Make sure to #WashYourHands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds! #STOPCleanYourHands & stay safe.
