3 Good Things in Ottawa this week ctvnews.ca/ottawa/video/2026…
For all my sports folks out there, here’s the highlight reel worthy, spectacular overtime goal that ended the Cdn Ringette Championship and made the Eastern Ontario Force U19 champs! From the knees to top shelf! ringette.us10.list-manage.co…

Heartbreak. Perseverance. Belief.
Piper Gilles’ journey to the Olympic podium has been one of strength and determination.
At Milano Cortina 2026, alongside Paul Poirier, she captured glory. 🥉✨
A reminder of the strength and resilience women bring to sport every single day.

This is why I’m really enjoying seeing the medals presented at the venues right after the event. The emotion is MUCH more real!

Really great long form article by @MorganPCampbell - sets up the start of the #GrandPrix and Olympic seasons for this pair.
Beware the Underdog ⛸
Canadian pairs skaters Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps don't enter this Olympic season as world champions, and they're just fine with that cbc.ca/sports/longform/featu…

Warmest congratulations to @MarkJCarney and the entire Canadian people on Canada Day. This day celebrates a nation that has become a shining example of unity, democracy, and the defense of freedom.
Throughout its history, Canada has become home to many Ukrainians, who today form one of the most influential Ukrainian diasporas in the world.
Canada stands with Ukraine in our most difficult times, providing financial and defense assistance, humanitarian support, and playing a vital role in ramping up pressure on Russia through sanctions.
We are deeply grateful to all Canadians for this unwavering commitment and valuable contribution. Together, we are stronger. Together, we stand for the values that unite our nations.
Happy Canada Day!
A great start to an amazing week! @CRC_CCR @ringettecanada
National Ringette Championships begin in Ottawa ctvnews.ca/ottawa/video/2025…
Remarkable!
Maestro David Briskin led the @nationalballet of Canada Orchestra and the audience in a rousing rendition of O Canada before the opening of Swan Lake. #ElbowsUp is not one of ballet’s traditional positions of the arms, but everyone in Canada is adapting.
Brilliant work.
Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 vimeo.com/1056619122/f6ec47d…
The media/celebrity ringette game is underway. Missing @Devin_Heroux here to live tweet all the action! All in support of the upcoming @CRC_CCR starting March 30 until April 5. @ringettecanada
Thanks @ian_mendes for inviting the media out to join the ringette drills and leading the way! @CRC_CCR
The media / celebrity game in support of @CRC_CCR is about to start. First up skills and drills, then a game against the U16 AA team!
Kudos to @AirCanada crew #AC342 from YVR to YOW. In a topsy-turvy day for air travel you kept us safe, well informed and the team in Winnipeg got us on our way again safely home from #InvictusGames2025 - from 1D and thanks for the snacks!
