Hi-light of the week: I attended a conference and was so happy to see a former colleague I hadn’t seen in 20 years. (A good reminder to never burn bridges where possible because no matter where you go outside of politics our worlds are never that far apart.) #TimeFlies

I have made the ultimate boy-mom mistake. Son randomly asked me how I would protect him in the event of a zombie apocalypse. In my response I apparently confused zombies, aliens and vampires. My kid may never speak to me again. #ParentingFail

I had a Gen X crisis today when my home printer ran out of paper. I could hear my Millennial colleague laughing far away.

As a kid I always heard the common refrain “don’t be a litterbug”. Today, Ontario’s Day of Action on Litter, is a good reminder to keep communities and environment clean. Thanks David Piccini and Andrea Khanjin for leadership. #ActOnLitter

Never have I felt so old as when I wrote notes with a pen and paper, in cursive, listening to an explanation of chatGPT.

You’ve been warned.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay2023. At FHCP, we know that sustainability cannot be addressed in isolation. Collaborations are fundamental in our efforts to support our members, impact supply chains, and improve environmental outcomes. Thank you to the many who are helping to move the

On my 30th birthday me and all my friends got dressed up, went to a sexy night club in Yorkville, drank our faces off and danced the night away. For my 40th I had a big dinner in a private room at a swanky restaurant. For my 50th last week I bought myself a new couch. #Adulting

Standing room only at the inaugural Circular Economy Summit. Excited to be here on behalf of FHCP / PASC and getting to expand our understanding of the opportunities of a #circularfuture and connecting with colleagues, govts and members.

Congrats CELeadership and Circular Innovation Council for an exciting and informative Circular Economy Summit. I was happy to moderate a panel discussion on the Cdn landscape of packaging policy and EPR, even so early in the morning … ☕️ ☕️ ☕️. #CCES2023

It’s showtime. SHOWTIME! Hamilton Mirvish Productions

Thrilled to see so many FHCP / PASC members recognized for their commitment, achievements and impact in sustainability. A privilege to work with so many of these teams.

“Never underestimate the influence you have on others.” Last yr I saw a frmr colleague I hadn’t seen in years. They came up to me & said “it was a long time ago, you might not remember me”. To me, they are 1 of the most influential ppl in my career. You never know who’s watching

Congrats to Andrea Khanjin in her new role as Minister of Environment, Conservation & Parks. FHCP / PASC looks forward to working together on the transition of Blue Box to EPR & consideration of a deposit return for beverages. Issues of importance for our members & Ontarians.

Sincere thanks to David Piccini for so capably managing deeply complex matters that enabled the transition of the Blue Box program to begin transition to EPR in Ontario, during your tenure at MECP. Congrats on your new role as Labour Minister.

Most days I WFH. I live across from an elementary school & sometimes wonder how children could make so much noise at recess & lunch. But the eery silence of a school on lockdown is horrendous. Scary day in Toronto’s east end. Can’t wait for the sounds of playground fun tomorrow.

I return to x simply to share that today, in January 2024, I have received a response from a provincial govt to an FOI that I filed in September 2019. I did not receive any documents, simply acknowledgement that they’re still working on it. #ToLaughOrCry

The most identifiable sound for political staffers.

Congrats to @SkellyHamilton for being elected the 1st woman Speaker of the Ontario Legislature. What a moment! (And a nice white pantsuit) #RepresentationMatters #onpoli
