    August 8, 2017 /

    Water safety is something that should be in the forefront of every parent’s mind. Whether you have a pool, love the water park, visit the beach, or go swimming in your local lake or river, being safe on and near the water is crucial. All it takes is a few seconds for a tragedy to happen. Parents and caregivers can keep kids safe by making sure we practice proper water safety at all times. Why Water Safety is so Important Our kids were babies when we began swimming lessons through the Red Cross Canada program. Swimming is a lifeskill that is not negotiable for me.

    How often do you think about water? Do you wake up wondering where it will come from today? Do you worry about leaving your family to walk for miles to collect a bucket of water for all of you to use? Does your heart hurt thinking that your child will never be able to attend school if he or she has to walk to collect water for your family? Do you consider whether you will have enough water to cook dinner, wash hands, clean clothing, bathe? I didn’t think so. I rarely thought about water here, until World Vision Canada asked me to consider doing the World Vision Canada clean…

    Take The World Vision Canada Water Challenge #WorldVisionWater

    April 13, 2016 /

    All children should have the chance to grow up happy and healthy. Kids who do not have access to clean water don’t have that opportunity, which is part of the reason I am happy to take the World Vision Canada clean water challenge. A few weeks ago my family started the World Vision Canada water challenge. The goal was to get everyone here thinking about children and families around the world and the scarcity of clean water as a resource. It was also my intention to help my kids to see how many sources of clean water we have available to us here in our home. This wasn’t about guilt, but more about challenging…

    I didn’t always live in London. Years ago I applied to Western University, got accepted and then chose to go to University of Waterloo instead. I was drawn to the coop program in Waterloo and it was closer to my family in Guelph. At 19 that mattered. I met my husband and we got married and for a time we considered moving to BC. Different things began to matter. Building a family and creating new starts. We moved to London, Ontario. The city where I built a small business, as we created a home and a grew a family. In London, we found our daughters, both of whom we adopted. I still…
