These were my great grandpa’s. A replacement Head Tax certificate signifying when he immigrated to Canada in 1910, and a certificate of Canadian Citizenship from 1947 (the year the Exclusion Act was repealed and the Canadian Citizenship Act came into affect).

For Dan Coulter

I wish I had taken more behind the scenes photos with Dan. I wish we had more time for drinks, catching up, and shit talking each other’s hockey team.

Make sure you treasure the time you have with those you love. It’s the reason we’re all here.

4/4

I’m so thankful for every early morning event, every rushed media pre-brief, every stakeholder tour, every fresh air break, every end-of-week ferry ride, and every late night at the Legislature. You effortlessly made people feel appreciated, seen, and welcomed.

Being a political staffer is such a weird and privileged life. You get to see people at their highest highs and lowest lows — in loud moments banging on desks and in quiet moments when the weight of the work sinks in.

Thank you @dacoulter for every memory. You always fought for those who didn’t have a voice and never lost sight of working people. We were all so lucky to have known you and the world is a little colder without you.

Questions for myself, my community, and the universe:
Who is your community and where does it show up? Online or in-person?
How are you engaging with and participating in your community?
What are you getting out of it?
And what are you adding?
