Absolute chaos. This is why you should thank the coach’s and volunteers…

Coaching kids #hockey is such a rewarding experience. Seeing the kids you #coach win provincials is even better.

Proud of this amazing group of boys and girls. So coachable and fun.

Very proud of colleague Karen A. Patte and COMPASS co-PI. Well deserved!

Proud parent moment. Tournament winners with extra bonus of my son getting the tournament MVP.

Takes a special kinda person to be #goalie . All about protecting others and taking on the stress of being last defence for the team.

We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Scott Leatherdale has joined the Canadian Cancer Society’s Advisory Council on Research (ACOR)! As a leading expert in cancer research, his insights will shape CCS's grants and awards programs, advancing cancer control initiatives.

Youngest son getting a hat trick in one shift in the final seconds of a tournament semifinal #hockey game today was definitely a highlight for a pair of proud hockey parents :)

America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

My take:

Now that’s how you close out a funeral.

3 COMPASS PhD students were on a team that just won the World Championship Program Evaluation Case Competition.

Very proud of Katelyn. She was an ideal graduate student in UWaterloo School of Public Health Sciences working with COMPASS. She is poised to have tremendous impact nationally as her career continues to march forward. So impressive.

This looks oddly similar to the warm up my 10yo son faces every game as a goalie. Love this game.

#UCalgary launches First-Generation Scholars Program, tuition support and mentorship for students who are first in their family to attend higher ed ow.ly/rlBf50PMSqN

Son had a ball thrown to him from Vlad Jr. at the Toronto Blue Jays game yesterday. What a memory.

This is a great way to make him a lifelong fan. Well done on making the game experience amazing for kids (and adults).

Thank you.

Let’s go Jays! See you in October playoffs.

Lucky enough to have gone #fishing in beautiful #NWT with some great friends again this year. Beauty of the surroundings and the size of the Lake Trout (47lbs in that pic) just can’t be beat.

Curious about the connections between adolescent resilience, well-being and the concept of the 'upward spiral'?

I was awarded the 2023 Players Choice Award for my #KWoldtimers #hockey league.

'The player who best exemplifies a positive attitude for the game, his teammates, his opposition, the officials and the League as a whole'

Can I put this on my academic CV?

A welcome from Dr. Christine Chambers to a packed house here at the #YouthHealthSummit - we are so glad to have many more champions for youth health (including ~45% of registrants as youth themselves!) joining us online.

Nice seeing 3 of my PhD students on the winning team. So impressed by their abilities. Well done.
