Thrilled about this legal victory for migrants’ right to health. Has been an honour to represent Nell along with colleagues Andrew Dekany and Barbara Jackman. The decision also has major significance for international human rights treaties in Cdn courts - will tweet more soon!

Jim Wu is the epitome of resilience and courage. Instead of letting Parkinson’s dictate his life, Jim believes it has only made him stronger. Jim inspires me to always see the glass half-full. I am lucky + proud to work with him! Check out his video below. youtu.be/DKWwF1zNIyo

It was a pleasure to speak at BC Doctors of Optometry’s 2022 Annual Conference! I know my sister and her wonderful colleagues took some great notes while I presented on Hiring Best Practices. Thanks for having us @BCDOptometry
Were you at the @bcdoptometry conference this weekend? @harmitsarai kicked off Saturday morning with a session on Hiring Best Practices (aka, how to avoid spending a lot of money on an employment lawyer:)

Sorry is a powerful word. In a mediation I conducted recently the strongest move of the day was a genuine apology. Free and effective in not only bridging the financial differences but also in healing the personal rift. The emotional impact on all was palpable. #mediationwin
