Pride is more than a month. Pride is a continuous act of courage, love, and allyship 🌈 It’s about honouring those who came before, standing beside those who are here, and creating space for those still finding their voice 🏳️‍🌈 #mlajennb #genderequity #pridemonth #prideseason #prideallyear

Every step was for the science as much as the stories. Alzheimer’s begins long before symptoms show, and research is key to earlier detection, better treatment, and hope for prevention. Walking together means pushing that progress forward. One step at a time. #walkforalzheimers #mlajennb #coquitlam

Last Saturday, Dave and I went to see a Les Échoes du Pacifique concert in the historic Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Maillardville. This choir started in Maillardville but draws from all over the Lower Mainland. It has been a week - and I am still thinking about those harmonies. 🎵 #mlajennb

One month ago, my family and I took the opportunity to walk across the Patullo Bridge on the last night it was open to the public. This bridge has particular meaning to me as it is the one that linked Dave and I when we first met. #mlajennb #patullobridge #infrastructure #buildingabetterbc

With so many people out there creating division and attacking people’s basic human rights, great to get out to the Train Station and celebrate Pride Night with the Coquitlam Express. It was great to reconnect with friends at Access, HIM, and Cutting Edges Hockey. #mlajennb #bchl #coquitlam #pride

Thursday night, I joined an ancient Hanukkah tradition - the menorah lighting. The message of light, hope, and resilience is age old, and particularly poignant in light of the recent tragedy in Australia.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to Wednesday’s holiday open house, and our consistency office staff for working so hard to put it together. Wishing everyone in Coquitlam Maillardville and across the province the very best of this holiday season. #mlajennb #coquitlam #happyholidays
