March is #SocialWorkMonth! This week, we’re spotlighting Pamela Jacobson, RCD for Fraser Valley, Interior/Northern BC & Yukon. "It is an honour to walk alongside people who are affected by this consuming disease, to get to know them, and to offer support on their journeys.”

📚 Hello from our Bookish Fortress! This bleak winter hit me hard & hope seemed in short supply. To bring a bit of good into the world, my hubby & I decided to hold a "Book Sale of Hope" in May 2025 in #Barrie to raise money & awareness for @HuntingtonSC & Huntington's Disease.

Did you know that…Symptoms of HD often intensify in stressful situations, which can lead to misunderstandings with law enforcement and increase the risk of misinterpretation or conflict in crisis situations. #FactualFriday

Did you know that…Each person experiences HD in a unique way. Even if you have cared for someone with HD in the past, the person with HD for whom you care now may live with HD in a totally different way. #FactualFriday
