Thank you @CityMaximum for bringing your gang to the new Island. I think this was the point on the tour where I mentioned that old people will retire, and that I was thrilled to meet our new leaders who will bring positive change. What an engaged group. 🙌✌️

Last week I got to do a cool thing that probably puts me on a very short list: I gave a keynote speech w my father. The topic was Transforming School Cultures & the audience was Franco-Ontarian school leaders, which includes the school my kids attend. 3 generations in 1 speech!
