To our knowledge, this is the first time that a member of a public health comms team has had a street named after them. We are so proud of you, "Bruce"! 🥺 @VancityReynolds

It’s clear that Ottawa has a special place in Ryan's heart – and in his honour, I’ll be bringing forward a motion later today to have a street named after him. Ryan Reynolds Way will be located in a new subdivision in the east end. Look forward to seeing it open soon!

the rates of myocarditis are incredibly low with Pfizer, the myocarditis is nearly always v mild, and it is absolutely safer than COVID, which causes much higher rates of myocarditis

R/T if you will join me in keeping an eye on whoever wins the election tomorrow to make sure they implement the TRC Calls to Action and the MMIWG Calls for Justice. If they don't do it- let's make them famous for it and vote them out of office at the first opportunity.

If Can. Public Heath officials think that letting kids get Covid bc it’s bound to [be endemic] & [not that bad anyway], not only have they totally misunderstood the effect on children, but they have gravely underestimated the collective will of parents. #putkidsfirst
