If you're more outraged about having to see and interact with unhoused folks while you do errands, than the fact that they're experiencing homelessness, you're part of the problem.

As we continue to work to build Waterloo Region as a hub for global innovation, embracing the identities, abilities and lived experiences of students best prepares them for leadership in the international community. These are @WRDSB’s students:

I am so proud. Nothing is better than watching your child’s dreams come true.

@fordnation You can’t possibly think that people should be suturing themselves or their children at home, do you?

Snapshot of Hate in Waterloo Region begins to present a picture of emerging hate and highlights the importance of community-based reporting and support services. Read report: cmw-kw.org/pdf/Snapshotof… #standuptohate #nohate #CMWagainsthate #CMWagainstIslamophobia

It's wild how defunding the police is "radical", but defunding education, healthcare, and community programs is the "realistic" approach to helping folks. The truth is we fund what we value and police what we don't.

Black people being gunned down is what happens when society lifts Rittenhouse up as a hero and treats Kaepernick as a villain.

I believe that human nature is fundamentally gentle and compassionate, but it is not enough that this is our underlying nature; we must also develop an appreciation and awareness of that fact, which can have a very real impact on how we conduct our daily lives.

@John_Orpheus @wrdsb @sac_gpss My son was one of the students you spoke to today. So amazing to hear that you are the artist in residence, and even more students will hear your wisdom!

😭Spoke to a Grade 12 English class at My alma mater Glenview Park. Who knew how moving it would be?🤷🏿‍♂️ Tomorrow I begin my journey as @wrdsb first Black Artist in Residence! Can't wait! Will bring tissue 🙏🏿 @sac_gpss
