The Sea in Her Blood exhibit, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
June 27, 2019
"Living in Mi’kma’ki-Acadie-Alba Nuadh-Nouvelle-écosse-Nova Scotia means living with the sea. Like the land we call home, every generation of maritime women is shaped by the sea – through maintaining tradition and pushing boundaries, work and play, struggle and triumph. Many of their stories have been lost to time. Today maritime women continue to both redefine traditional ways of living with the sea, and shape new ones. The Sea in Her Blood highlights 17 of these extraordinary women." -Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
I am so honoured to be showcased among 16 other women in NS. Thank you Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
Maple Leafs Game at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto

I am the first ever recipient of the Canada Walk of Fame MLSE Community Hero Award. This is a new award started this year for the 20th anniversary of the Canada Walk of Fame.
I went to Toronto to speak about this amazing award, promote my cause and I got to catch a Leafs Game vs. NY Rangers. The Toronto Maple Leafs are my favourite team. It was an incredible experience. My family and I sat right behind the Leaf's bench and I even got on the mega screen! Thank you MLSE and CWOF for an incredible few days in Toronto. I will cherish these memories and experiences forever.
