**🚔 Request for Public Assistance 🚔** Two motorcyclists have been driving dangerously fast, stunting, and weaving through traffic in our city. 🏍️🏍️ Given the inherent danger of a pursuit with these two motorcyclists we have not pursued.

This week was intensely busy. I built a geocache from scratch, had 29 youth participate in glowing planets, reached 100 activity participants total. I also helped organize Family Fun Day for Canupawakpa Dakota First Nation with a heat wave that left me a bit sun-kissed. #IamBU

This week was the Reston Fair! Got to see some fireworks, play some trivia (and win a prize for being in last place), go to breakfast and got to throw a float in the parade as well on top of have a water fight with the kids (we later called a truce and made mudpies instead).

This week at the campground we made Snow Globes to have a Christmas in July! 🎅 Santa also informed me I needed to give out treats as well to all the campers AND the kids who participated in this week's activities. That meant over 800 candy cane's.

Attending the 2nd National Autism Conference hosted by Health Canada and PHAC virtually today... where are my #actuallyautistic people at? I've yet to see a single person who is Autistic in this conference show themselves. That's a problem.

Folks have asked me "What have you been up to since the Jim Munson and Ginette Munson Autism Leadership Award?" Government appointments to committees is one. Winning bursaries is another. Hiding in library ranges is a favorite passtime. It appears I didn't slow down.

What has my life been like the last couple of weeks? Photography has been my hobby for years, and so I caught up on that. I also was part of the #AccessibleMB Manitoba Access Awareness Week panel. And then this morning I'm listed as a nominee for a Tourism Award! #IAmBU

This has been a busy week for me as I crossed the stage to obtain my Bachelor's of Education degree from Brandon University! To say it's been a journey is an understatement but I look forward to what the future holds. Next stop teaching in my own classroom!

Many thanks to the Brandon Youth Centre in Brandon Manitoba for inviting me to come and speak to around 50 youth on Becoming a Mental Health Champion this past October. It was an amazing day!
