Having practiced family medicine in Brampton for over 30 years, it is incredibly meaningful to see @TorontoMet's medical students beginning a new learning pathway in @CityBrampton. I’m proud of everyone at @OslerHealth who is helping shape the next generation of physicians.
Earlier this week, we welcomed the inaugural class from @TorontoMet's new School of Medicine to Osler as their primary clinical partner. Our teams have begun to support TMU’s residents who are preparing to specialize in family medicine at Brampton Civic.

PLEASE SHARE MY VIDEO❤️I am thrilled and honoured to share this simple song with you today. A song, that I trust, invokes within you, the love, passion and respect, for all who have contributed to the tapestry of this great nation. From the ancient beginnings of our magnificent Indigenous Peoples, to the times of those who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting against the horrors of despotism and tyranny, Canada has, and always shall be…Strong & Free. When respected and honoured, Canada is a friend, an ally, and a beacon of hope for the millions she holds in her embrace today and for the millions yet to come. Canada is NOT a coin to be placed into a slot machine, nor a card to be turned over on a gambling table. Canada is NOT something to be politicized, bartered for, nor sold. I trust you will enjoy and embrace this simple song. A song and a tale that chooses no sides in the elitist, political arena. It comes to you as a celebration of Canada’s beauty and as a call to action, encouraging you to cherish and protect the freedoms we enjoy today. With Glass Tiger, I have travelled the world carrying Canada’s message of friendship, including, to almost every “nook and cranny” within the great nation we call the USA. While travelling and performing there I have shared wonderful times with great people, who, like most of us, want only to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. I have also broken bread and shared fellowship in war zones with the brave men and women of our militaries, allied together to defend the freedoms that so many take for granted. My friends, whether you be Canadian, American, or from wherever you call home, this is “Canada’s Song,” and I am asking a favour of you today. PLEASE SHARE don’t just hit the like button. SHARE the video with your loved ones, your friends, your neighbours, your cat and dog if ya have one. SHARE IT TO THE WORLD! Let’s rescue our freedom from the clutches of those who would have us bow to their self-serving whims. Thank you in peace and harmony, Alan ❤️

In 1910, the Women’s Institute of Brampton came together with a bold and ambitious goal: to build the community’s very first hospital. The vision was clear, and the power of community followed. Leaders, passionate citizens, and women from all walks of life mobilized to turn that dream into reality.   A century ago, Peel Memorial Hospital opened its doors, changing the health care landscape of Brampton and surrounding communities forever.   This International Women’s Day, we honour the vision and determination of the women whose leadership sparked a movement that continues to impact today’s generation. Here's to the power of community, collaboration, and women leading the way.   To learn more, visit peelmemorial100.ca.

Dr Fernando Olivera @CanGastroAssn How can we build trust while addressing conflict? What is negotiation & how to approach it? How to understand what is essential for us vs not = distributive issues, compatible issues, integrative issues Post settlement settlements = efficiency
