Big day for #socent in #yyc! Look forward to working with @tricofoundation & @UCalgary @haskayneschool to realize these big ideas!
We could not think of a better home for the Trico Foundation Centre for Social Entrepreneurship than a school whose vision is to serve big ideas and bold leaders. #socent #yyc #entrepreneur

In 2017, we ran a performance incubator called Discomfort Lab to test our new mandate of supporting work that engages in 'productive discomfort' & where we endeavored to hold space for uncomfortable conversations. The 2019 edition OPENS TONIGHT! buff.ly/2VSkT1R #yycarts

Hey, gang, here’s a thing: vote for who you like. Feel how you like. But if you want a particular party to win, maybe don’t call anyone who considers going another way “stupid”. That’s probably not a winning strategy in a popularity contest. #ableg #abvote

We may sometimes feel that we can’t do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

💯! The best parts of my time as a grad student came from taking class projects and working with community groups to adapt them into something of value for their org. Practical experience, informal mentoring, and creativity were my takeaways! Design to ensure reciprocity w/ orgs!
Q5: Should post-secondary institutions offer students with opportunities to access community service projects as part of experiential learning in the social innovation space? #SocInnChat

This is a big deal. Not only does Bill 26 mark the first increase to AISH benefits since 2012, it also indexes AISH with inflation. That means more protection and predictability for vulnerable Albertans. #ableg #yyc #aish
Bill 26 has received royal assent. Great news for a quarter million Albertans who rely on these vital supports. Albertans will see the increased rate on the cheques they receive in December. alberta.ca/social-benefit-ra… #aish #ableg
