So very sad to hear this news. It was so exciting to work at this once vital daily newspaper after graduating from @JSchool_CU back when newspapers were alive and well. It changed my life. What a loss to the city of Whitehorse

Lovely to meet with friend and former @JSchool_CU colleague Mary McGuire @mmmcgu to talk about her continued support for a fund at Carleton that helps journalism students take up paid internships in Canada's north, a place close to Mary's heart and where she started her career.

Congratulations to my former colleague and friend @b_popps on his new book about a remarkable man who has defied aging.

After reading this piece I look forward to reading the book by my former colleague and friend @b_popps about a man who challenges everyone to rethink how we age.
I used to dread growing old. Then I befriended a superathlete in his 70s theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
