@BirdmanDodd Happy Birthday!

Its my birthday. I'm 43. This has been a year. A good year, a productive year. I've a Star Trek published author, a published poet and an Indigenous & disability advocate who has made some waves. Hoping 44 will be just as productive

Great start to the week - kicking off the @AgricultureON @unitedwaygwd campaign. A great crowd who got to hear about their impact from our Rural Communities focus area - VON’s Meals on Wheels and Transportation program. Oh, and a bake sale! 😋

@KateBueckert For some reason in my car mine will reset periodically and play the first song alphabetically. For the longest time All Apologies by Nirvana was my most played song and now it’s A.M. Radio by the Lumineers. 🤷‍♀️

Every time I finish a playlist on Spotify, it plays Noah Kahan's "Stick Season" and I can't wait for my Unwrapped to tell me I listened to that song a million billion times.

A huge thanks to @adamadonaldson for having me on Guelph Politicast to chat about @unitedwaygwd . I know I'm biased but this is a MUST listen to learn about how UW is ensuring #BetterIsPossible podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/gue…

Had an amazing time cheering on the @uofg Gryphons to victory and revisiting some fave spots on campus. Thank you @UofGAlumni for an awesome Homecoming!

The 2024 federal budget is just around the corner. So what did the sector ask for? A nonprofit labour & volunteer strategy, adequate funding for the Canada Disability Benefit, funding for nonprofit housing, and lots more. See our full analysis: buff.ly/3P3VHDj

I appreciate you non-profit staff & volunteers! Proud to work with you in this incredible sector.

A partnership btw local government + public agencies in #FortMcMurray has found bridge housing for people experiencing #homelessness through collaboration. Rather than turning to enforcement, @rmwoodbuffalo worked with residents to relocate them. loom.ly/9x1u90Q

🚨 After 20 years, @StatCan_eng is conducting a survey of nonprofits + charities. 📊 If your organization is contacted, we encourage you to participate! Results will be used to help inform policymakers, funders, nonprofits & Canadians about the size/role of the nonprofit sector.
