Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.

These everyday habits can open the door to major risks. Strong, unique passwords keep our classrooms and campuses secure. πŸ”

On Friday, I was fortunate to be able to attend smudge ceremonies at Γ‰cole Ste. Anne Immersion and Ste. Anne Elementary. Seine River is lucky to have elder Eric Flett and Indigenous Education consultant Chantelle Desorcy working closely with staff and students every day.

Today, SRTA members, along with students and staff in Seine River, are wearing orange to honour residential school survivors. As educators, we move forward on paths of reconciliation through our actions and words, for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the river flows. #OrangeShirtDay
