always and forever a raven 🐦‍⬛ This journey over the last two years has taught me so much about myself and I could not have walked across that stage without my amazing support system!! I am so excited to start my PhD journey in the fall on a topic so near and dear to me! 🫶🏼

Both our kids were born at Queensway Carleton Hospital and while I received my cancer treatment across town, I was thrilled to get a tour today, it's no longer a tiny hospital. I was there representing Barrhaven Ford and the lady next to me, Dani is heading up the nursing program at Carleton University! Special thanks to Ashley Taylor for the tour. If I had Ryan Reynolds bank account I would've given all of you a new Mustang, but all I have is admiration for what you do 🙌🏻

Ontario govt, 15 years ago: We're freezing funding per student. Colleges and universities: Okay, we'll take in more students to pay our bills. Ontario govt 8 years ago: We're capping the number of students we fund.

Colleges Ontario welcomes @OntUniv's statement on the one-year anniversary of the Blue-Ribbon Panel. The financial situation facing Ontario’s universities is alarming, and colleges are going to face a similar future. In the coming years, frozen funding and restricted revenue sources will result in fewer programs and reduced opportunities for domestic students. #onpse #cdnpse #onpoli @ONtrainandstudy
On the one-year anniversary of the Blue-Ribbon Panel report, read why sustained funding for Ontario’s #universities is essential to continue to meet student needs & to fuel the talent development & innovation that #Ontario needs: ontariosuniversities.ca/news… #ONpoli #ONpse
