Police squad cars in the area of Odell Park and Smythe St., lights flashing and intermittant sirens. Unclear what is happening.

It was a great day at @porridgeTO connecting with partners and friends in support of Parkinson's research! @sarahsfitness, @Jeanne_Beker, @HarryForestell, Dr. Tony Lang and One Step Ahead Mobility!
A new role but still here! After 13 years hosting @CBCNB supper hour news, it's time to hand the baton to colleague @CaveRachel. Parkinson's is tightening its grip on my voice, but as long as I can talk I'll continue to tell stories and be part of CBC News in NB.

The view from the top of Sheepstor in Devon. I’m able to enjoy this thanks to the skills of the DBS team at Toronto Western Hospital and the Movement Disorders Clinic led by Dr. Tony Lang. #FightingPD
A true Canadian troubadour. I had the pleasure of introducing my wife Jenny to Mr Lightfoot when he performed at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John. A real gentleman and a great musician.

"To feel my body beginning to slow and become more mechanically difficult to manage was hard to take. Parkinson's is an insidious disease," @HarryForestell told @mattgallowaycbc in a conversation today about his diagnosis and treatment cbc.ca/1.6752210

This is what #dbs gave me and it gets better, even after 4 years since my surgery. I’m surprised by it a lot, it’s a gift from the #nhs. It’s not a cure but a reprieve from #parkinsons after 12 yea res. Keep pushing and keep trying. U never know

Morning @DaveClarkTV hope you are keeping well, I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I’m raising money for @ParkinsonsUK , Is there any chance you could help me raise as much awareness as I can by giving this a RT ? Thank you
