On the 10th anniversary of the #InternationalDayoftheGirl lets celebrate the positive changes and progress we continue to make to ensure that young girls get the same opportunities to learn and grow!

Inspired by 500,000 people participating in the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on Oct 11, 1987, we celebrate #NationalComingOutDay Support the LGBTQ+ community! Be an ally for those coming out!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re all able to celebrate gratitude and gather with loved ones, on a holiday that began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

October is #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth. It is important that all Canadians be given the tools required to succeed. I will continue to promote an accepting and barrier-free work environment.

October is #WomensHistoryMonth! What better way to honour women, then by having a month long celebration of amazing achievements made by women throughout Canadian history. Learn more: swc-cfc.gc.ca/commemoration/…

Canada commits to publicly commemorating our painful history as an important step in the reconciliation process. To honour lost children, survivors & families, for pain and abuse caused by the residential school system, we wear orange. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay

I am feeling for my family and friends on PEI during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted. #Fiona #HurricaneFiona

@russellmania369 Us Maritimer's love our boots.

You lost me at “boots” Patty. I’ll wear runners thru the snow drifts! Do enjoy watching the fall colours though…

Hello Fall! I love Resolutions for Fall as back to school has always been my favourite. Also, fall sweaters, walking in the woods with the coloured leaves, running without the heat and wearing boots again! What are some of your Fall favourites? #PumpkinSpiceSeason #AutumnLeaves

We may all reflect differently today on what it means to be Canadian, feel grateful for various reasons & celebrate in a variety of ways. But one thing is for certain, this pride is reflected in as many ways as there are Canadians. I am proud to be a Canadian, today & every day.

Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste day to my friends in Quebec, across Canada and abroad. Enjoy this celebration of your language, culture and tradition.

For generations, Indigenous peoples have celebrated their culture near summer solstice. Today, Canada in unity will recognize and celebrate diverse Indigenous cultures on #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay Join me in celebrating a step forward towards the path to reconciliation.

Fathers have so much knowledge to share. Here's my Dad instructing my sister and I on how to properly cook and prep for a lobster feed after they arrived right out of the ocean. #HappyFathersDay #Eastcoastlife

Happy Father's Day! Wishing all of the wonderful fathers a relaxing day with their loved ones. Thank you for your support and loving care. Enjoy your Father's Day Weekend!

During this National Public Service Week, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to all my fellow public servants for their hard work and dedication. Thank you for all that you do! #NPSW2022

Make sure to take time today to work on your wellness and practice self care! Sometimes it means opening a window or stepping outside to take a deep breath of fresh air! What's your favourite way to quickly recharge your battery? #WellnessWednesday

Happy #VictoriaDay! In Canada, we celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on the Monday before May 25. It's our first official WARM long weekend and also serves as a reminder that summer is right around the corner! Enjoy the long weekend with friends and family!

It's #WellnessWednesday! My favourite way to stay active is to enjoy the outdoors! Whether I'm riding a bike, running or going on a hike, being outdoors is a great way to work on your fitness and take care of your overall health. What's your wellness tip?

On May 17, we mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia, & unite in our collective efforts to promote a safe, inclusive and stigma-free society. Consider how to help reduce stigma to support the health of LGBTQ2 communities in Canada.
