Ending racism will take a lot of self reflection and ruffling the feathers of people in power, says @radicalprodigal , an associate professor in the school of social work at Renison University College at the University of Waterloo.
A powerful conversation with @radicalprodigal on what goes into ending racism. She says economics, protest, action from people not directly affected and policy change are essential. "Change requires persistent revolution, persistent protest." cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-1… @CBCKW891

Nice pivot @town_of_aurora I know many of your seniors are engaging in virtual phone classes offered by your seniors centre staff. Social distancing means I can't visit family there, and I am thankful you are staying connected to them.

It maybe inconvenient but take precautions to help everyone. You know people that are immune compromised but they keep their health private & they are scared. Your choices could change their lives.
Please be patient with each other, and be part of the solution.

This is what it looks like when children take the lead in planning neighbourhood events. Small grants + on the ground coaches + the imaginations of local children. @GreenwayCCC @hofwatreg @PHCGNews @ChangeOpenly #children #WRawesome
