Sunday started out by opening the curtains to see the Victoria Harbour. How beautiful! My plan was to go explore the city, but i was feeling physically exhausted from the previous work week. Instead of touring the City, I decided to jump on my computer and finish some reading for several of my classes. Did i say how excited i am for reading break?
Thankfully i'm feeling rested from a nice day off! Off to start my work week (Monday) at Songhees Cultural Centre!
[[Monday]]
Monday I attended the first day of the Cultural Safety and Humility Standard Gathering. We learned about health standard and the importance of implementation within our work.
We set up in the morning and had a spectacular meal prepared by the centre at lunch.
Finished the day with more learning during my education class! Oh how i feel so energized from the work this week.
[[Tuesday]]Tuesday we had opportunity to learn about Metis. Metis account for 1/3 of the Indigenous population in Canada and over 90,000 self identify in the Province of B.C.
It was amazing to hear more about the uniqueness and distinctions between First Nations and Metis.
We had learned about the importance of community engagment and had a local Metis jigger attend.
[[Wednesday]]Wednesday was a travel day for moi! I left Victoria around 10am and headed for my flight. Luckily, nothing was delayed. The usual stop over in Calgary Alberta then back home to Grand Prairie, Alberta! Woo! Happy to be home :)
[[Thursday]]Thursday was a whirlwhind of emotions. My puppy, Daisy needed leg surgery. According to our vet, Daisy has a 3rd degree luxating patella meaning, she required surgical intervention to stabalize the patella, fun....not.
[[FriYAY]]Friday has been CATCH UP! I've missed attending classes, reading and feeling very behind in my classes. Hopefully with the extra long weekend and break, it'll give me a chance to catch up.
On the up side, Daisy is doing great! She's not allowed to move around a lot and is secluded to her kennel. We bought her a little play pen so she at least can adjust when she needs. Feeling the $3100 vet bill this week though.
Anyway, that quickly sums up my week!
