Good to see many taking advantage of the nice weather & staying healthy. My son & I thought we would entertain folks walking by. We know it hasn’t been easy. Remember to wash your hands, keep a safe distance from people. #preventthespread . #COVID19AB #AbLeg

I'm so humbled by receiving all of your letters of congratulations. Being the Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women is the best job I could ever ask for. Today, I'm spending time getting back to you all. Thank you. #ableg #abcmsw

I intended to attend #ableg today and pose questions as Alberta NDP Official Opposition Culture Critic. I intended to ask @LeelaAheer about cuts to grants. Sadly, 18 of 23 UCP Ministers didn’t attend, including mine. So much for being accountable to Albertans #covid19 #abhealth

We become Mothers in a million different ways, & we honour all journeys to Motherhood today. Many Moms are on the front lines of #COVID19AB , separated from their families to keep everyone healthy. Thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day! #happymothersday #abcmsw

It is important that we stay home to slow the spread of #Covid19AB , however home isn’t a safe place for everyone. If you or someone you know is being abused there is support available. #AbLeg #abcmsw @RajanJSaw @PonJosephine @rebeccakschulz

We are strong when we stand together. On Day of Pink, we wear pink to raise awareness of the discrimination against LGBTQ2S+ Albertans. Even in difficult times, while we self-isolate and practice social distancing, we can come together to build a better future. #DayofPink2020
