Another highlight was passing my CTRS exam and becoming a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist!

It was such a busy semester! The absolute highlight of it all was travelling to New Orleans to attend the TALS conference as a future scholars fellow! Such an honour as a masters student. So grateful.

@Crys_Watson Yes please!!!

Anyone else feeling interested in a social justice approach to Therapeutic Recreation? It’s lonely and exhausting out here. There’s work to be done and I have a feeling it’s being done in isolation.

Thank you to the amazing panelists that showed up as their authentic selves, at our very first Black Professionals Panel! Here’s a peek at one of my favourite moments from@MsTiaDuke

Very happy to announce that I have been selected to attend The Academy of Leisure Sciences (TALS) 2024 conference as a TALS Future Scholars Fellow! I am so excited to reconnect with my lovely leisure scholar friends in the US, while learning lots from my mentors and peers.

It was a busy weekend indeed! Just wanted to take a moment to thank @cagacg for such an amazing conference. What a warm feeling it is to be among like-minded folk. #CAG_2023

Happy birthday to me! 🥳

“Yes, it’s about money. But, more importantly, for these workers, it’s about respect. “Because having that pandemic pay yanked away sent a very clear message to those workers that their labour wasn’t being respected," @Prof_Savage. #ThankAGroceryWorker thestar.com/business/metro…
