1/2 I was supposed to leave just after 15:00. It is now after 19:00 & still hanging with the bear with another hour to go. My experience so far - rental car agent stayed late to see if I needed to get my car back. Offered to come back if we get stuck to get us cars after hours.

2/2 team of people bought delivery pizza for the entire waiting room and security and gate agent staff. Bathroom stalls open out so you don’t need to wrangle luggage around an inward swinging stall door. These are some of the many reasons I love small towns like #smithers

Recently, the ACRD hosted a tabletop exercise to better understand the coordination of setting up a Reception Centre for the delivery of Emergency Support Services (ESS) in the event of a large-scale emergency. Thank you to all the volunteers & agencies who attended!

When your team has an #ottawa #nhl fan on it but you are running a #socialmedia #simulation as part of your #exercise, you have to include some good natured ribbing. #EMGTwitter #preparednotscared #calian

Amazing spring evening - after a few weeks away working with clients to build preparedness related to natural hazards facing Canadians, I am so grateful to get to enjoy some down time walking the beach after work. #lovewhereyoulive #lovewhatyoudo

Worth the read if you’re interested in #EmergencyManagement from the perspective of an #Indigenous national body that spans multiple jurisdictions. I am honoured to have worked on this project with my team @CalianGroup under the guidance of Dr slambert metisnation.ca/uploads/docume…

Great opportunity for us to consider how we are personally prepared - do you know your zone? Tsunami is NOT expected, but remember we can do a lot to be personally prepared by knowing our zone and what our personal actions should be for future events. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/pub…

Next week I am focused on a WestCoast emergency #preparedness #exercise. I’ll be working with a great team and I know we are prepared to run an amazing event. This weekend, I get to enjoy the sun while #camping with my kiddos :-) #parentingisbetteroutside #WorkLifeBalance

I was very thankful to play a small part in this important regional preparedness initiative! Also love it when on day 3 in a new role I can jump right into driving up to a local hospital and begin exercising codes! #alwayslearning #resilience
