On this day in 1970, Ernie made it on the Billboard Hot 100! Here's to another 55 years of our favorite bath time bop! We love you, Ernie and Rubber Duckie! 🛁🧽🫧🎶

Dinner with Dad @FinFolkFood Had to capture the sign - my great-great grandfather. I'm sure my 104 year old Nan will be pleased to see the pic.

The heaviness of grief...
My colleague Scott Oake speaks candidly and movingly about his older son's battle with addiction and how, years after his death, Scott still deals with the grief. He has a new book "For the Love of a Son." Our interview is tonight on The National.

I'm always honoured to serve as a funeral celebrant. Being able to share one's story, create a safe space to acknowledge the death and weave together meaningful elements of ritual is a true honour. #FCD24 #funeralcelebrants #whatfuneralcelebrantsdo lifecelebrantsinternational.…

You are going to die. Talking about it is hard. But what if it were someone’s job to help us die better? Such assistance could be particularly helpful for the many older Canadians living alone, without a built-in support system. #Opinion trib.al/qjEeLHC

Proud alumnae of the School of Social Work. Remembering how Dr. Brown kept distance students engaged in the aftermath of Juan.
This year's top teaching award winner thrives on the energy of students. The classroom can be an intimidating place for students. Dr. Marion Brown of the School of Social Work strives to ensure everyone feels comfortable and connected in their learning: ow.ly/qxXl50U7VkG

Always in my rotation.
On this day in 1993, Blue Rodeo's fifth album Five Days in July was released in Canada. It became the band's most commercially successful album, and is considered one of the best Canadian albums ever made. Let's learn more about it :) 🧵1/14

Maslow Before Bloom Before the lessons and the tests, Before the grades that deem who’s best, We must remember first to see, The roots beneath the learning tree. A child hungry, tired, or cold, Cannot grasp the stories told. No formula or history chart, Can reach a wounded, aching heart. Safety, love, a place to rest, Come first before we learn or test. For minds can’t flourish, dream, or bloom, In a heart that’s trapped in gloom. So feed the spirit, calm the fears, Dry the eyes, and lend your ears. Build the trust and light the way, Then knowledge will find room to stay. When Maslow’s needs are met with care, Then Bloom can follow anywhere. But first, we nurture, heal, and tend, For true growth starts where basics mend.
