Until we reckon with our country’s systemic racism, there is no justice for the climate—and no saving the planet. 🧵⬇️ #EndFossilFuelRacism #BlackHistoryMonth

So much 💛 for this organization and how far it has come since my time as trail staff. The outdoors is for everyone! I look forward to when public school programming across Ontario reflects this reality. #accessibleisthenewcool

Let’s talk about grit and resilience in the face of adversity. In Finland, the term “sisu” acknowledges our almost magical ability as humans to capture the power in our pain, and use it to achieve greatness. I found this podcast inspiring. Learn more👇🏻 resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/emilia…

Today is #TeenWorldMentalWellnessDay. We at TMO feel that regular & consistent time spent with nature is one component of caring for one's mental health and wellbeing. Do you feel better after spending time outdoors? What do you think? 🧠

The Thinking Classroom =The Experiential Classroom! Thanks for posting this Cult of Pedagogy! Vertical spaces have been the it thing in math, but this article really opened my eyes to how the science might be applied in any subject. My wheels are turning! cultofpedagogy.com/thinking-class…

If we teach little girls to set boundaries just as well as we’ve taught them to be polite, perhaps when they grow up this world will be more fair and just. #IWD2023 #standup #fightback

An addendum: If we teach all children to RESPECT boundaries rather than EXPECT little girls to prioritize politeness, this world will be more fair and just. #InternationalWomensDay #notyourbarbiegirl

I’m feeling thankful today. Thankful to have run the Outdoor Environmental Leadership Program for 15 rewarding and inspiring years. My passion found, my dreams realized. And thankful to have an open heart, looking forward to my next adventure, whatever that may be.

“There’s too much bad news for complacency, but there’s too much good news for despair.” Love this. It totally captures the balance teachers struggle to find in teaching about climate change. The answer: Take action!#communityservicelearning

A year ago, I took the time to read Alice Munro’s early works. What I found was my own stories reflected back at me. In hearing of her passing, I thought it worth reposting how I came to realize the anything but ordinary connection I have to #AliceMunro. #lowertown #Wingham
