As the 2024 NHL All Star weekend begins in Toronto, it’s a great time to reflect on the deep connection between U of T’s Varsity Blues hockey program and the Toronto Maple Leafs. 🏒🥅🚨It’s also the perfect time to discuss how the future of the sport is diverse and inclusive ⬇️

34 years ago today, I was in an undergrad class at UofT, when our Prof told us about the massacre at École Polytechnique. Today, and every Dec.6, I pause to remember the 14 lives lost and think about all those who continue to be victims of gender-based violence.

It was a pleasure speaking to listeners in Kitchener, Windsor, Cape Breton, Kamloops & Victoria on the role of communications in helping organizations operate responsibly to earn trust. Can’t wait to discuss this with global CCOs at the Page Society conference in Toronto Oct 1-3

New study shows a postsecondary degree can improve outcomes in everything from personal health and character to civic engagement and relationships. And the more advanced the degree, the more positive the outcome. Higher education for the win. insidehighered.com/news/students/…

An amazing weekend of amateur sport, at the Dragon Boat Canada national championships. Big congrats to Eric’s University College+New College UofT team, winners of the gold medal in the U24 open (men’s) boat division, for their combined scores in the 200m, 500m and 2k races 🙌

No better way to start a new job than to immerse yourself in the moments that matter and meet the people who bring an institution to life. So great to experience the sense of pride, connection, engagement and affinity that keeps this community together. #UofTReunion

Delighted to have taken part in today’s ceremony to raise the Progress Pride flag at UofT. Above all, I’m grateful to live in a society that values inclusion, safety and belonging and condemns all forms of discrimination.
