Our hospitals have unveiled artwork by Nlaka'pamux and Sto:lo artist, Ovilia Mailho, in honour & remembrance of the children found in unmarked graves at former Indian residential schools. It's a reminder of our ongoing journey toward Truth and Reconciliation.

I had the most incredible experience at my first ever #ACLP #childlife conference at @GaylordNational in MD. I learned so much about programs from around the globe and met many incredible connections along the way. Looking forward to bringing all I learned back to Vancouver ✈️
The burnout stress is real for Child Life Professionals (and all healthcare workers). Their takeaway from my talk? You can’t say yes to self-healing til you start saying no. #ACLP

I am so excited I was able to reconnect with my internship supervisor @ChildLifeEm at the ACLP conference after not seeing each other for 7 years! She taught me so much and I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for her guidance and support #childlife @AssocChildLife

Everyone knows their own gender best and should be able choose their own gender designation on their ID, without a doctor to verify. We are removing this unfair barrier for two-spirit, transgender, and gender diverse people in BC. news.gov.bc.ca/26092

They had the phasers on stun and my treatment is complete.
So grateful for the compassion and professionalism of the @BCCancer team and health workers across BC under incredible strain right now.
A little less robust than before, but feeling better every day. See you soon!

You know about doctors and nurses, but do you know about the >70 other specialized health care professionals who are part of the health care team?
Shortages of these professionals were severe pre-pandemic & now conditions are unsustainable. Learn more: hsabc.org/EndTheShortages
