My letter to Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau Doesn’t matter how much money is tied up / what the economic situation is between #Canada & #China We need to take #HumanRights more seriously around the world. Diplomatic boycotts won't save lives! 👇 cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Looking forward to this capacity-building session! Learning to identify common signs of trauma was a HUGE asset as a teacher - something we should all know. A necessary competency in this context, and useful all the time. York Region DSB Peel District School Board Toronto District School Board Durham District School Board (DDSB)
