Dan's track record as Acting CEO, as well as performance throughout the hiring process, made it clear that he was the right choice to lead the GPL in this critical moment.

What a treat be one of the facilitators for today’s @unitedwaygwd Lessons with Local Leaders.
There’s a ton (A TON) of great local young professionals just scratching the surface of the contributions they’re going to make to this community.

My table was made up of young professionals from @uofg. I left the table feeling very hopeful about the future of that place.

Thank you @CTVKitchener for sharing about last week’s celebration with @RoyalCitySci !
For the last 4 years they've been planning a science centre for Guelph and have just created a new fund with GCF to help support this incredible opportunity. 🤝👩🔬

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

Core memory. Watching this on a muted tiny tv in my bedroom and then my parents letting me come watch the celebration with them. I think they knew I wasn’t asleep.

A. Space is awesome.
B. @NASA is definitely not making up nicknames for fake 1800s baseball players. They’re just not. Stop asking.
