2020 VISION
PHOTO OF THE MONTH
May - Champion for Mental Health
This month I was named a 2020 Champion for Mental Health by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health. I am incredibly honoured and surprised by this award. I don't see that what I'm doing is special; it's just the work I do. The youth of our country are our greatest resource and my deepest passion. Our country needs a National Suicide Prevention Action Plan - when there is a problem in our communities, we have to step up; it's our obligation.
April - Stronger Together
COVID-19 is testing us as a society and as individuals. And I'll be damned if I'm going to let the virus give us a failing grade.
We have the courage, the decency and the love for one another to pull through. It's up to us to stay focused on getting each other through and we will come out of this stronger, together.

February - Truth to Power
St. Anne's Survivors stood at Ontario Superior Court and spoke truth to power. They will not be intimidated, they will not be silenced.
As a Canadian, I am ashamed to witness how this government has used such brutal and petty tactics against people who have suffered such horrific abuse. I call on Carolyn Bennett to stop the petty legal vendetta. The survivors are not only owed justice; they are owed an apology.
