Excited to share why I packed up my family and life in a Uhual to come to Silicon Valley. I'm on a mission to help women get the right healthcare, when they need it. That is why I have co-founded RYA Health. Thx Prof Moore & Campbell for sharing our story forbes.com/sites/karlmoor…

@mackinnonrj So kind. A few crashes along the way but mainly good absorption! ;)

It was an honour to meet the Queen, to be invited to sit with her over dinner when she toured, Canada, and to see her playful side behind the veil. She was kind and even joked about her crown slipping around.

“I think anyone who’s been around this space would know not to see any one case as a tipping point. Because change hasn’t happened that way,” Heil said. thestar.com/sports/hockey/… @PascaleStOnge_

Couldn't be more proud of my nephew! I have the privilege of seeing his grit and determination up close. It constantly inspires me! Congrats to the whole family. @NHLBruins @domgauthier instagram.com/p/CfwoIklLjsc/…

@AltoonaYerPiano Thank you @AltoonaYerPiano 😊

@JennHeil You were my favorite Olympic skier back in the day. I'm glad to see you here on Twitter.

“Sport in 2021 will be remembered for its coaching scandals.” Will sport in 2022 be remembered for effectively protecting the athletes? bit.ly/3q7rHco @ASandmeyer @viaSportBC @melaniejmark @PascaleStOnge_ @vankayak

Thank you for honouring me with the Bruce KiddLeadership Award @AthletesCAN My work on #safesport is only possible because of the work of so many courageous people. Congrats to @MandyBujold @EvanDunfee @KarenPaquin

This is the most impactful and important story I have ever done about Canadian sport. The *players* mobilized. Instead of enjoying the moment, or focusing on play, they are working to eradicate a culture of silence and abuse. Unreal. #CanWNT #CanXNT

Thank you @PlayersCanadian for driving culture change in Canada so we can accomplish #SafeSport4All You continue to inspire us all on and off the field. @s_guilbeault @SportCanada_EN @vankayak @CANWNT

Nothing like being reminded that you're not getting any younger. Son: "Hey mom, what year were you born, 2000 and what?" Me: "No, I was born in '80s." Son: "Oh, wow!"

@stephlabbe1 that was insaaaaaasaane!! Congrats @CanadaWNT Wow!!

The mental health challenges that come with managing the pressure to perform are real and reinventing yourself while becoming a mother and putting your kids first are real. Thank you @OleksiakPenny @Simone_Biles for being real. Your courage inspires.@maplereleaf #InvestInWomen

@daphnegilbert @s_guilbeault Appreciate your comments and apology. We raised the gaps within the proposed system so the essential principles can be created for an effective system. Leaning into solving these is the only way to build the trust and credibility.

@daphnegilbert your comments of "trust and credibility" with the athletes is critical. But, stating that all of our concerns have been met is inaccurate. (1/2) @s_guilbeault

Thank you @s_guilbeault for your commitment to sustainably fund the future safe sport program implemented by the @CRDSC_SDRCC

The "independent mechanism" is not mandatory & the one code can have up to approx 60 interpretations where NSOs decide appropriate sport specific behaviors. This limits the ability for athletes to understand their rights and to take action. @daphnegilbert@s_guilbeault

@StrashinCBC Agree - the majority of athletes participate in sport at the provincial level and we need these same solutions there. The sport system manages sport top-down from NSOs-PSOs-LSOs - if we can align these solutions starting at the national level we will have a more effective system.

What wasn't shared today during the safe sport announcement is that the "independent mechanism" is not mandatory - therefore NSOs currently decide the level of athlete protection. We're asking @s_guilbeault to lead by making this mechanism implemented by @CRDSC_SDRCC MANDATORY.
