What a tremendous untimely loss. I commit to breaking the barriers Kiah identified + working to provide equal opportunities to students of colour. I challenge friends and colleagues to do the same - it is more important than ever before.

Avoid US travel – Stay & spend in Canada
Bank Canadian – Use CA institutions
Shop local – Support our businesses
