It is time for my third InspireHealth Rain Walk. This year on March 9 at 9:30am. I am so thrilled to be able to bike to the event site and stroll around the sea wall with friends. Can you join me at the event or make a donation? inspirehealth.akaraisin.com/…

An inaugural creative methods conference #ICRMC initiated and beautifully (generously!) produced by @DrHelenKara was inspiring. It also yielded colourful and thought provoking ephemera to mull over the morning after. I'm grateful to Helen, all the presenters, and new colleagues!

On Labour Day, Canada's complicity with child immigrant labour is the theme at #ReadingtheMigrationLibrary headquarters. We are busy assembling the latest community publication, "Henry Frederick Terry (1907-1980) ~ I Remember" by Ginger Mason (Victoria).

Thank you to artist and designer on this project @deanneachong for pointing out the poignancy of finishing this project on #LabourDay2023 . We remember children trafficked as labourers and colonists.

Still haunted by this week's political panel on CBCs Early Edition @CBCStephenQuinn Is CBC complicit in enabling political influence in fossil fuel industries with this "journalistic" feature where critique is personalized & bullied? I find it frightening. cbc.ca/player/play/218938374…
