We just had an exciting and productive visit to CFB Borden. As well as a screening of the Fruit Machine documentary, we joined tours and a sod-turning for the military’s first monument to the LGBT Purge. We shared our stories, felt respected and saw encouraging signs of change.

Tonight @CMHR_News it was an honour to welcome the crowds in from the cold to listen to @Hoosli and share #UkrainianArtistsUnited with our community. You could truly feel the ties to the ancestors that have bred a culture of such pride and resilience. 🇺🇦

This week is International #HumanRightsDay - my first since joining @CMHR_News. I’m so proud to gather with this incredible staff today, and work alongside them every day to tell stories of human rights defenders and violations here in Treaty 1 Territory, homeland of the Métis.

It has been 33 years since the Montreal Massacre at the Polytechnique.
On December 6,1989, 14 women were murdered and another 10 women and four men were injured in a deadly attack motivated by misogyny.

Today is World Wildlife Conservation Day. Every day human actions have considerable impact on wildlife. Just letting your cat outside contributes to the single largest human-related threat to birds in North America - cats kill over 2.4 billion birds annually. #WidlifeDay (1/2)
