In Akobo, I met Bhan, now an orphan. His grandmother carried him for 7 days through the fighting to us, eating leaves. We’ve opened up access across lines to reach them. They ask: will help come? Don’t let politicians get away with boasting about aid cuts.

This was a great project funded by @CdnHeritage . Making more inclusive sport environments.

On this solemn day, we remember the victims of the Islamophobic attack at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec. As we stand with Muslim communities across Canada, we reaffirm our commitment to building a country where Canadians of all faiths can thrive. ow.ly/WUJ050Y5qeP

@JustinTrudeau So very sad to hear this news. Kirsty Duncan was such an advocate for women in sport, safe sport and inclusive sport. She will be missed. She will be remembered .

I’m heartbroken by the loss of my friend Kirsty Duncan. Kirsty was curious, generous, and deeply committed to helping others. She believed in knowledge, compassion, and service, and she brought those values into every conversation and every fight she took on. I learned a great deal from her, and I was lucky to call her a friend. I’ll miss her greatly. My thoughts are with her family, her friends, and all those whose lives she touched.

That’s so sweet of them both. More of this in the world please.

We are thrilled to participate in this program - great opportunities for our new and developing young women soccer coaches. Thank you TELUS and @CanadaSoccerEN for this opportunity
