YWCA 2022 women of distinction awards (Blog entry)
What a blast to attend (in person, post COVID) with Kim, the Metro Vancouver YWCA 2022 Women of Distinction awards, and an even greater surprise to be given an award in the not for profit category for community service and advocacy over the decades going back to the 1970’s! I felt honoured to have been nominated by Vancouver Community College (VCC) and to attend the gala event May 26, 2022. The best part of the evening was seeing and meeting all the nominees and women who received awards in so many diverse categories. The strength and leadership of all these women is something to behold!
Advocating for Palestine in Canada (Blog entry)
I was delighted to see this book “Advocating for Palestine in Canada”, published this year. It is a great overview of the struggles and advocacy in Canada, to advance human rights and uphold international law for Palestine. I was honoured to write a forward for the book outlining some of the recent history in Canada’s Parliament on the issue. Always a challenging subject- the book contains excellent perspectives by noted contributors who provide, personal, historical, and political insights. Well worth reading.
The rabble panel discussed the book launch featuring contributing authors from the book.
