I try to spend at least 20 mins outside sometime in the day, anywhere I am. But a favourite place is the forest behind my house.
Great to see @NRPublicHealth and @mustafahirji supporting making legislated #paidsickdays permanent and increasing the number available to workers in ON.

Is this a thing at any other school? Dress as a skin colour? (Black for Black excellence day.)
Asking as a mom who is not Black but has a son who is and say he doesn’t want to participate in this and finds it weird.

There have been a number or hate crimes and hate speech in the last few months. We are calling on those in positions of power to do the right thing. Call these incidents the proper name, a hate crime and give people a concise way to report them.

Important considerations for work to address food insecurity in health care settings.
Yes, we want and need to support the people who seek health care.
But...how effective are we in the face of inadequate income and other economic policies.

Val Tarasuk pointing out the consistent lack of connection between food charity and food insecurity (and the fact that food charity does not address food insecurity).

Went grocery shopping and my kid started reading some graffiti off a pole. I wasn’t paying attention until he said, “Ma, it’s the N word.”
He’s heard that word enough (sometimes directed at him) to know what it means.
