In my previous career, I worked in community-based research, where I had the honour and privilege of listening to many stories from Elders across Canada.

Some made you laugh. Some made you think. Many made you cry.

More times than I could count, we would sit together at a kitchen table and cry. Many of those stories recounted experiences at residential schools.

These are stories that should never have had to be told. But they were, and they must continue to be heard.

Today, we remember the children who suffered, those who struggled, and those who never came home. We should be screaming from the rooftops for those children. We listen to Survivors and Elders, and we recognize the ongoing impact on Indigenous communities.

Listen to the stories. Learn. Hold them close to your heart. Make space for truth, remembrance, healing and reconciliation.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Tomorrow morning your orange shirts will probably be in the laundry hamper. You'll smell the remnants of sage smoke in the fibres and you'll inhale deeply, savouring the medicine's gentle hold on your spirit. I do that too.

But the experiences you felt today will not be washed away. The tears you shed, the things you felt - they will not come out with soap and bleach. The connections that were made today are now living in the fibres of your shirt. They will not bend. They will not break. They were put there by your helpers, by the Creator of your understanding and by your desire to stand beside people who were hurt by something that was not right and not good - even if you can't truly understand the experience.

My understanding is that every orange shirt that attends a gathering where knowledge is shared, tears are shared, and love is felt collects drops of hope, and stores them in the fibres. Then when they're worn again (hopefully not just one month a year) - those drops gather more drops, until one day the person wearing the shirt is absorbing all that love and all that connection through their skin. Then when they put on their orange shirt, they might feel what "sacred" means - your shirt will become sacred and when you wear it, you will feel connected and sacred, regardless of where on this Earth your blood flows from.

This is what an orange shirt should do all year long, not just on September 30th. - this is my wish...but if I can only have this once a year, I will be happy with once a year. If you glance at your orange shirt in the back of the drawer some day down the line, just take it out. Wear it on a Thursday in December, wear it on Friday in February - but wear it as a champion, and remember.

This is how we keep pushing positive change forward - your shirt is your voice.

As ACSC 2026 comes to a close, one message stood out to me:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today’s discussions reinforced the importance of ensuring people have access to safe, effective contraception and the ability to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are fortunate to have universal free contraception in British Columbia, but that is not yet the reality across Canada.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Contraception saves lives, improves health outcomes, and gives people greater control over their reproductive choices.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I was also reminded that reproductive rights should never be taken for granted. They are not guaranteed, and they can be challenged or taken away.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐖𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from colleagues and experts from across the country over the past three days, and I look forward to bringing these insights back to my patients and community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣

📍 Ottawa, ON⁣
⁣
Another insightful day at ACSC 2026, with a focus on fertility, pregnancy, and patient-centred care.⁣
⁣
𝐀 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲:⁣
⁣
𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲.⁣
⁣
Pregnancy is an incredible process, but it’s only one part of a person’s health journey.⁣
⁣
The person carrying that pregnancy is also navigating significant changes to their body, hormones, emotions, health, relationships, and daily life.⁣
⁣
Today’s sessions reinforced the importance of caring for the whole person—not just the pregnancy. Taking the time to ask how someone is feeling, coping, and experiencing these changes can be just as important as monitoring the pregnancy itself.⁣
⁣
I’m grateful for another day of learning and for the opportunity to bring these insights back to my patients and community.⁣
⁣

This week, I’m in Ottawa attending the 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐀𝐂𝐒𝐂), hosted by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
ACSC is Canada’s largest CME conference for healthcare professionals working in women’s health.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A key takeaway from day one:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞-𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Women’s health has historically been underrepresented in medical research, and the diverse needs of women across different communities, cultures, and backgrounds deserve greater attention and understanding.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today’s sessions explored topics ranging from global women’s health and informed consent to addressing inequities in healthcare and improving outcomes for underserved populations.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from experts and colleagues who are working to advance more equitable, patient-centred care, and I look forward to bringing these insights back to my patients and community.⁣⁣

🚨 Dr. Heidi here. Yes, I’ve officially reclaimed the socials from Cesar before he adds “full-time hype man” to his LinkedIn. 🚨⁣
⁣
First — thank you. I honestly wasn’t expecting the response to the last post. The messages, comments, encouragement, and jokes from friends, colleagues, students, and fellow over-committers were greatly appreciated (and painfully accurate).⁣
⁣
Now we head west to my alma mater.⁣
⁣
Huge congratulations to the 2026 CCNM-Boucher campus graduating class at Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Convocation is such a meaningful milestone, and I know firsthand how much work, sacrifice, persistence, and support from partners, family, friends, pets, and caffeine it takes to get there.⁣
⁣
Earlier today, I had the privilege of introducing Dr. Matthew Greenwood, ND, this year's Convocation Address Speaker, and presenting the Governor's Award recipient.⁣
⁣
𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.⁣
⁣
See, already cutting back from the Toronto convocation — progress.⁣
⁣
What I love most about convocation is that it's more than academic achievement. It’s a room full of people who chose a profession rooted in service, curiosity, advocacy, and caring for communities in ways that aren’t always easy or visible.⁣
⁣
And despite what Cesar may imply, there is no healthcare "𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦."⁣
⁣
There is mostly just:⁣
⁣
• a very full calendar⁣
• chronic overcommitment⁣
• colour-coded reminders (I am not kidding, I bought pens for the occasion)⁣
• and a genuine belief that healthcare and education can always be improved⁣
⁣
Serving on the CCNM Board — and now as 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 — continues to be one of the greatest honours of my career because I get to witness the future of the profession firsthand through students and graduates who care deeply about the work ahead.⁣
⁣
To the CCNM-Boucher graduates: enjoy this moment. Celebrate yourselves properly. Take the photos. Hug your people. Let yourself feel proud of what you accomplished.⁣
⁣
Have a rest.⁣
⁣
You have earned it.⁣
⁣
And Cesar — thank you for the very public support, even if giving you temporary access to the socials was objectively risky.⁣

🚨 SOCIAL TEMPORARILY HIJACKED BY CESAR (𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳 / 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥) 🚨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m temporarily taking over this channel today because some moments deserve a more personal perspective.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
First off, congratulations to the 2026 Toronto campus graduating class at Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Convocation is a huge milestone — years of work, sacrifice, resilience, and too much caffeine all culminating in today.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today, in her first year as 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫, Dr. Heidi Standeven, ND presented the Honorary Degree Recipient, the Governor’s Award, and led the Naturopathic Oath at convocation.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And honestly, watching her up there felt like the natural outcome of someone who keeps saying “𝘠𝘦𝘴” to more responsibility than any reasonable person should accept.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Over the years I’ve watched Dr. Heidi:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
* serve 5 years on the CCNM Board before becoming Board Chair⁣⁣
* help found the UGM outreach clinic since Nov 2023⁣⁣
* start an MBA this January because free time is apparently suspicious⁣⁣
* continue mentoring, advocating, and showing up for people in ways that rarely make a spotlight⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At this point, “𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨” is basically her default setting.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Which is why I jokingly (maybe) call it her healthcare “𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
(Not in a status way — more in a “how is one person doing all of this at once?” way.)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What people see at convocation is the formal version of Dr. Heidi.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What I see is someone who takes on more than she should, cares more than she has to, and somehow still shows up for patients, students, and communities with consistency that doesn’t make sense on paper.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not perfect.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not trying to be impressive.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Just relentlessly trying to be better.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Watching that over time has changed how I see healthcare, leadership, and community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s also pushed me to step outside my comfort zone — from joining my first board with Downtown New Westminster to co-presenting with Dr. Heidi at Douglas College.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐨 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐢 — especially seeing you shine while leading the Naturopathic Oath today!⁣⁣
