My mom and I. A reunion nearly 40 years in the making. For half that time, she was a missing person.
On this National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation, I am grateful to have finally reconnected with her, and for the love & support pouring in for us from coast to coast. #MMIWG – at Toronto, Ontario

The expansion fee for an @MLB franchise will likely be north of $2-billion USD. Add in another $1.5 to 2-billion for a baseball specific stadium with a retractable roof (because Vancouver weather).
That would be quite an investment in this economy.

Vancouver should become the next home of a Major League Baseball team.
With the MLB publicly expressing interest in expansion in the near future, we see an opportunity to position our city as the next home for a franchise.
This could be an opportunity to bring something truly special to Vancouver. An MLB team would be a significant step forward for our city and would create lasting memories for fans across generations.

Lourence Singh, the Conservative candidate ousted as the party's nominee in New Westminster-Burnaby-Maillardville, tells CTV News he is working to appeal the decision and still hopes to run under the CPC banner. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

It's hard to believe ten years have passed since Tina's death renewed calls for an #MMIWG national inquiry. Without that inquiry, my family would likely still be looking for my mom, who we are so happy to have back in our lives.
Our reconnection is part of Tina's legacy.

“What chafes critics, even those who might consider themselves progressive, is that they expect reconciliation to instead look like a kind of reversal, rewinding the tape of history to some museum-diorama past.” apple.news/AmvjjRLoFRpm_7V0v…
Phil Kessel looking absolutely gassed at times during his first skate with the Abbotsford #Canucks. A conditioning stint is clearly warranted for the 36-year-old if he's going to play in the #NHL this year. More tonight at 6 on @CTVVancouver
I am so proud of my colleagues @mijungleectv and @CTVGary for winning an Edward R. Murrow award for their storytelling at my family's reunion in Alert Bay last summer. It's a privilege to go to work every day with such talented broadcasters.

In 1877, the Government of BC used the Indian Act to reduce Sen̓áḵw to 37 acres and rename the village to "Kitsilano Indian Reserve no. 6".
Meanwhile, the city of Vancouver and its infrastructure continued to grow. What would this mean for our Squamish Nation ancestors?
That time my dog met @ctv_jasonpires dog on live television. What a meet cute for Teddy and Rosie. @CTVMorningLive #dogsofvancouver #stpaddysday
"To all of my Indigenous brothers and sisters who are feeling disconnected, I want you to know that your culture is waiting for you to reclaim it."
This piece by @Eden_Fine_Day will resonate with so many people.

Working a Vancouver snow day. How it started...how it's going @J___Squared #bcsnow #bcstorm #vancouverwx #sunset #tvnewslife
The world has lost a great man but #GinoOdjick's legacy will live on through the people who will continue to be inspired by his kindness and generosity. Here's a video about my connection to this incredible person and what he means to me.
Absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Gino Odjick -- a man I looked up to as a child who became a mentor and friend. My heart goes out to everyone who loved and admired him. #RIPGino @Halawgroup

Tough time to be travelling. B.C. snowstorm: WestJet cancels all YVR flights from late Thursday to Friday afternoon bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-snowstorm-… @CTVVancouver
Lots of passengers at @yvrairport trying to rebook after hundreds of flights cancelled over the last few days. This is a timelapse of the @aircanada rebooking line. There is no rebooking line for @WestJet because it is directing passengers to rebook online. #bcstorm
A few flights have departed @yvrairport today, but many are cancelled and most of the others have significant delays of up to 18 hours...leaving thousands of people here stranded in a holiday travel nightmare. #bcstorm
