This month the physiotherapy community lost one of its best and brightest, Carol Kennedy. Carol was an exceptional physiotherapist, and an instructor, examiner, mentor, close colleague and friend to many of our therapists. She leaves a lasting impression on everyone she knew.

Checking in @ParkBoard - can we put this idea on the table, or better yet in our neighbourhoods? #multisport #soccer #basketball
Hi @MarioMontaglian. Appreciate your inquiry. We've shared this information with our outdoor facilities design team for consideration.

This is Penzer Park in Langley. @NewWestSC @New_Westminster multi-sport structures that should be created that can be used year round by a variety of user groups.. @newwestrec @Salmonbellies @MinorBellies @Nwmha @jonathanxcote what can we do to support more of these?
How about it @ParkBoard - can we make this happen here? #soccer #basketball #multisport #flexible @GregorYoung
The city @myRichmondHill population just over 200k has 2 gorgeous streetball pitches (combo basketball/soccer). Well done! Would love to see 1000 of these critical sports facilities across Canada. They do not cost a lot, they need community & political leaders to make it happen.
