I lost my dad last week.
Below is a link to the obituary my sister @naomiaklein.bsky.social and I wrote this weekend (helps to have a sister who’s a pretty good writer 😉), along with a bunch of photos.
A few more reflections. 🧵...

Both of our former environment & climate ministers are speaking up strongly and critically regarding the direction of the current federal government on climate—even though it is their party. That to me shows integrity and leadership. Thank u @cathmckenna.bsky.social & @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social

June 3 was Clean Air Day.
How fitting to mark it from June 4-5 speaking + visioning with global colleagues at the 5th annual Vancouver Summit (theme: wildfire smoke) linking evidence to action on healthy indoor air.
Much food for thought, and new avenues for engagement.

Three days in St. Andrews, New Brunswick at Kingsbrae Conversations this week gave me a whole new perspective on Atlantic Canada's massive potential to lead on sustainability.
Honoured to share insights onstage about nature prescribing + @cape-acme.bsky.social's work.
