At @PHAgencies 2026, Jim Pine, Dr. Eileen de Villa and I reinforced a core governance truth: appointments don’t create effectiveness. Boards need role clarity, skills‑informed composition, strong orientation, and culture that supports confident, strategic governance from day 1.

Today might be called Family Day, Louis Riel Day, Nova Scotia Heritage Day, or Islander Day — but across Canada, it’s about connection. 🇨🇦 Family (by blood or by choice), heritage, and a little mid-winter reset. Staying cozy? Out on the hard water? However you spend it - ENJOY!
