Community Foundations of Canada | Fondations communautaires du Canada reposted this
This week’s Community Foundations of Canada | Fondations communautaires du Canada Board meeting in Calgary felt like a tapestry, where voices from every corner of the country wove together in conversation, reflection, and care. Our brillant co-CEOs, Andrew Chunilall, CPA, CA, ICD.D and Andrea Dicks, ICD.D prepared thoughtful and strategic discussions. My fellow board members, representing the richness of Canada’s diversity, from coast to coast, asked hard questions, exercised rigour, shared wisdom and listened with empathy. It is a rare gift to be part of a space that nurtures the beautiful tension of differing perspectives, knowing that this is how community is made. Audre Lorde reminds us: “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” In a moment when fractures can feel close at hand for our great country, I’m grateful to be part of a national network that chooses belonging… and chooses it again and again. Lydia Sadiq Gordon Holley, CPA, CA, FCPB , Neil P., Maxime Michel, kelly Evans, Reg Black Lisa Kolody and Wendy and Vic and all, many thanks. https://lnkd.in/e9WnTpCU
