Without Googling, name something Canada invented.

The symposium is a once a year opportunity to gather in person as a community committed to ensuring every young person crosses the stage with dignity, purpose and options. See you there! @kaser_linda

This is such a great opportunity to dig into a really important question. See you there!

@CrazyVibes_1 These are the best!

My son hasn't spoken at school in four months. Complete selective mutism since the kids started calling him "the weird craft boy" who makes things instead of playing sports at recess. He's eleven and autistic, and art class used to be the only place he felt safe until his teacher told him his projects were "too babyish for middle school." He stopped making anything, stopped talking about his ideas, just came home every day and disappeared into his room with the door closed. Last week he was watching me work on snowman decorations for my shop, these whimsical couples I make and sell for people's holiday mantels. Didn't say anything, just sat on the couch observing while I hot-glued fabric scarves and painted faces. Then two days ago I came home from work and found him in the garage surrounded by foam balls and fabric scraps he'd pulled from my supply bins, hands covered in paint, completely absorbed in creating these two figures. He'd been working for six hours straight without stopping, something he hasn't done since his teacher destroyed his confidence. He made himself and his little sister. The boy snowman has the same serious expression my son gets when he's concentrating, the same careful attention to detail in every button and hat decoration. The girl snowman is wearing pink because that's all his sister will wear lately, has flowers on her scarf because she picks dandelions for him every day after school. This is his first complete project since September, the first thing he's made that wasn't for a grade or an assignment, just pure creation because he wanted to express something he couldn't say with words. When he finished he asked if people would think they were stupid, if kids at school would make fun of them like they make fun of everything else he makes. I told him they were incredible and he needed to see that I wasn't just saying it because I'm his mom. He finally agreed to let me post this after two days of me begging, but he's been refreshing my phone every ten minutes checking for comments, needing to know if anyone besides me thinks he's talented. I buy a lot of my supplies from other crafters on the shop app, and I keep showing him their work trying to prove that handmade art matters, that people value things made with this much heart and skill. So what do you think? He's reading over my shoulder right now, hands still shaking slightly, waiting to see if anyone else sees what I see. Credit - Jeanette McAllister

Oh Canada: A Canadian love letter for the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympic Games

I just love this.

@AwarenessTCS Ezekiel. May your memory live on.

🕯️ SAY HIS NAME • REST IN PEACE 🕯️ Today we are holding space for Ezekiel Schofield, 13, whose life was taken in the tragic school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada on February 10, 2026. Ezekiel was not a headline. He was not a statistic. He was a grandson, a son, a friend, a teammate, a classmate. He was an avid hockey player with the local U13 Raptors team. A young boy with goals, teammates who looked forward to seeing him at practice, and a future that should still be unfolding. His grandfather shared through heartbreak: “Everything feels so surreal. The tears just keep flowing. So many young lives were ended so needlessly. Our hearts are broken not only for Ezekiel, but for every family affected by this tragedy.” We are choosing to center Ezekiel’s life. His name. His memory. And we are holding space for every victim and every family in Tumbler Ridge whose lives were forever changed on February 10, 2026. Please join us by leaving a 🕯️ and saying “Ezekiel” in the comments so his name remains visible and remembered. Rest peacefully, Ezekiel. You were loved. You mattered. You will never be forgotten. #EzekielSchofield #TumblerRidge #BritishColumbia #Canada #SayHisName

Couldn’t agree more.

Me too

Listening to the learning partners talk about the schools in the IEII network is inspiring. Some of the key words about the strengths of the school teams involved - authentic, courageous, flexible, tenacious...these schools are on the move. @noiie_bc @kaser_linda
