It's #NationalVolunteerWeek and we want to give congrats to one of our volunteers, Sean Masaki Duffy, who was featured on RogersTV in February after earning the Commonwealth Honours Award (Service Medal). Jump to 11 mins to see Sean talk about his work! ow.ly/UoHz50R2hJz
Today I had the pleasure of chatting with students from the Master's of Public Administration program at @queensu. We talked about current issues, including university funding and how insufficient supports are impacting the lives of students.

LISTEN: "No ice is safe ice."
Following the tragic death of two teens on the Rideau River there is a renewed focus on emphasizing ice safety.
Sean Duffy with @nodrowningott and @LifesavingON tells @PatriciaBoalCTV about the thresholds ice needs to meet for safe recreation.
A beautiful afternoon yesterday at the @LifesavingON Commonwealth Awards Ceremony. As an avid swimmer, I recognize the essential expertise of the Lifesaving Society in ensuring the water safety of Ontarians. Congratulations to the 2023 winners!

Ottawa, our COVID levels are very concerning.
We highly recommend wearing a mask when indoors & getting vaccinated with all the doses you're eligible for.
Please read this statement from your Medical Officer of Health regarding our current situation: ow.ly/tNaS30sfYPF
Red Cross WSIs and WSITs who want to transition to the Society’s Swim for Life certification may now do so by completing the official Swim Transition Instructor Clinic at e-lifesaving.ca, the only Clinic approved by the Society and endorsed by the Canadian Red Cross.
As of today the Province has lifted the requirement for masks in most indoor settings.
But we still encourage you to keep wearing masks, especially indoors when physical distancing may not be possible.
COVID levels remain high & masks are an effective layer of protection. (1/3)
In order to minimize uncertainty & disruption & to continue to support our students, staff, faculty & university communities, Ontario’s universities will maintain their COVID-19 vaccination & masking policies until at least the end of the current term. ontariosuniversities.ca/cou-statement-…
