A very happy birthday to @cblackst Celebrating you today and everything you do for First Nations kids and all kids across the country. And for your love of snacks! #OrangeShirtDay

Parents & Families: Watch. This. And get the Spirit Bear calendar - we did last year so this conversation with our kids continues all year long. Not just on Orange Shirt Day.

The inquest starts today for Devon Freeman. Questions need to be answered about how we can make meaningful change for First Nations kids across the province.

Big day for the guys. Terry Fox is a big presence in our house with the boys constantly talking about how one person can make a huge difference. @TerryFoxCanada
