Today, we observe Remembrance Day and honour the courageous men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Their service, sacrifice, and commitment to peace are why we stand free.

The symbol we wear, the red poppy, holds profound significance, rooted in the First World War.

• It was inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written by Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, who saw the vibrant red poppies flourishing on the battle-scarred earth where soldiers lay buried.

• The poppy’s bright colour against the bleak landscape became a poignant representation of life, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.

• Today, it is a visual pledge: to never forget, and to support our Veterans and their families, with proceeds from the poppy campaign going directly to Veteran support funds.

Take a moment today to reflect, and wear your poppy close to your heart.

This past weekend was filled with sun, fun, and friendship.
The kind of joy that comes from belly laughter, long hugs, and yes… holding each other’s marbles. 😉✨

A weekend of connection.

A gentle reminder of how priceless time with your people really is.

These are the moments that refill your cup in ways nothing else can.

This girl loves California — from Venice Beach to Malibu…
the sun, the sand, the sea — it’s just so good for the soul.

I feel softer.
More open.
More me.

Here’s to more weekends like this.

More friendship. More joy. More play.
☀️🌊🤍

Ready for an awesome week ahead.

🍎 A Message to Alberta: Our Kids Deserve Better

To our incredible Alberta Teachers:

As our students returned to classrooms today, please know this: You are supported. We know the environment is tough—made worse by recent legislative action. Thank you for showing up and continuing to put our kids first. We see you. ❤️

I’m a parent of Grade 12 twins, and the anxiety this morning was palpable. I’ve had kids in the public system for over 20 years, and today, I am the least hopeful I’ve ever been for the state of public education in this province.

To the Alberta Government: Your choice of action is deeply disappointing. Our children should not be pawns in this dispute.

This generation of students already survived COVID-19’s massive disruptions to their education. Now, the AB Government is continuing to inflict undue harm on their senior year.

You have failed to provide a stable learning environment. Do not punish these students and jeopardize their futures.

➡️ CANCEL the January 2026 Diploma Exams.

We Must Zoom Out

This isn’t just about money. It is about the conditions for students and teachers. Alberta was once the gold standard for education funding in Canada. Now, we rank dismally low. Our future is being undermined by a lack of investment.

Alberta Government: It is time to come to the table with genuine intentions for resolution. Your legislation choice has only created a more challenging environment. A safe and supported learning environment for every child is non-negotiable.

Teachers: Do your best. We know you will.

Government: It’s time to bring real support to the students. You changed the contract of how this semester has been delivered, do not punish our kids for your choices. They deserve better.
