Lots of Canadians are told they have to change who they are to be successful. My message to all of you — be yourself & celebrate who you are. We all belong.

Last week I launched my new placemaking project, HER City. The project explores how urban design and social attitudes impact women's safety, leisure, and play. The key project components are: presentation, public space audit, and play. Connect w/ me to learn more.

Just finished this gem by @hockeyesque - thank you sir! Inspired to return to @OurYellowknife for a visit in March. Miss scotch at the Elks Lodge and trekking out onto frozen Back Bay.

For the last three decades, the Pan family's most meaningful holiday tradition is re-telling the heart warming story of an Air Canada flight attendant who was there for them during a most difficult period in their life. ow.ly/Xn9n30n6Tf6 @CityFaizaAmin

35 years ago, when emigrating to Canada, Michael Pan and his mom got off their flight too early when it connected in Toronto. A flight attendant took them in for the night. Her kindness was their first impression of Canada. Now they want to say thanks. #TheMoment

In 1984, Michael Pan and his mother Hui Ju arrived in Canada as newcomers. They spoke no English, had no money, and had landed in the wrong city. 35 years later, they want to thank the flight attendant that helped and hosted them. huffingtonpost.ca/2018/12/24/chr… #cdnimm #newcomerswelcome

My family is in search of the selfless @AirCanada flight attendant who changed our lives in Nov 1984 by taking us into her home the night we immigrated to #Canada but ended up in the wrong City. PLEASE SHARE THIS FB POST: bit.ly/2V6srOE

Ending the @YSM_TO #735challenge with $.40 and an appreciation for the hustle and sacrifice it takes to survive on $7.35/day. How is anyone in this position supposed to get ahead? We can’t continue leaving people behind. #endpoverty

Would be typical for me to grab a pint with friends after work, but not tonight on the #735challenge. Didn’t occur to me that 1 in 5 Torontonians live on less than the cost of a pint everyday. Eye opening. #EndPoverty

Also shoutouts to @JohnTory and @TTChelps and anyone else involved in making two hour transfers on @PRESTOcard possible. A big help to someone living on $7.35/day allowing stops to affordable food purveyors. #735challenge

Dinner: a sample platter of all discount foods I hunted down today: canned beans ($.77), 1/2 pack of sliced turkey ($.50 after price match), tomato ($.18), 1/2 avocado ($.30). Shoutouts to @nofrillsCA and @TOChinatown for the #cheapeats! #735challenge #hauler #EndPoverty

Passed by so many shops and restaurants tonight that I could not partake in. Living on $7.35/day feels like living in a whole other Toronto. #735challenge

3.5 hours later, I’ve made it home. Fitbit tells me I’ve done over 30,000 steps today. This was not fun especially given that I was feeling malnourished and light-headed all day. #735challenge

I have made the uncomfortable decision to walk 15km home. Only $0.40 left in the budget means the decision was really made for me. I am 1.5 hours into this walk...ugh. #735challenge #nooptions #poverty @YSM_TO

Totally stressed about how I’m going to get home tonight. I live 15km from my work! How far can $0.40 take me in an Uber or a cab? Spoiler alert: not far at all. #735challenge
