Hey @cityofguelph, Hamilton, Burlington & Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo have their splash pads on. What’s the hold up? Kids need to cool down too! 💦
8 months into this motherhood journey, and thinking about my #ChildLife colleagues during #ChildLifeMonth. May you be recognized & celebrated for the important work that you do!
“It’s a tough question on what reconciliation is & what it can be. I mean even just the word reconciliation, we’re assuming that we had a good relationship at some point, but did we?”

As I start an 18-month leave from the hospital, I can’t help but think of what a 5 year old said to me this week as I left his isolation room:
“Whatcha gonna do now, nothin?”
Not really, just something different! 💛

To support those affected by the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, GoFundMe has created a centralized hub to house every verified fundraiser.
Our Trust & Safety team will continue to update this hub with more fundraisers as they are verified. gofundme.com/c/act/donate-to…
