Say No For Nick
- Present 12 years 1 month
Social Services
Raising awareness for drug use. My son Nick passed away from using MDMA. Nick was adopted into our family of 5. Nick's father also passed away from a drug overdose. We don't judge, we just feel that it's important for people to always remember that they can say NO and make that a habit.

I was honored to be selected as the Chairman of the selection committee that awarded $1 million to the winner of the drug testing challenge on behalf of the Canadian Government.
Canada is in the midst of a crisis. The number of overdoses and deaths caused by opioids, including fentanyl, has risen sharply and continues to rise. In 2016, there were more than 2,800 suspected opioid-related deaths in Canada and in 2017, there were nearly 4,000 Canadian lives lost.

Canada is in the midst of a crisis. The number of overdoses and deaths caused by opioids, including fentanyl, has risen sharply and continues to rise. In 2016, there were more than 2,800 suspected opioid-related deaths in Canada and in 2017, there were nearly 4,000 Canadian lives lost. Governments, non-government organizations, health and public safety professionals, and Canadians across the country have been responding to this crisis in an effort to save lives.

"B" Better Entrepreneurship Program
- Present
This project/program is inspired by Steve Cody's entrepreneurial career which he started when he was 17 years old with a bucket, squeegee, and $1200 his grandfather had saved for him. We want to create a program to teach youth about being an entrepreneur, get them thinking differently and following their dreams and passions. This would be the first year we are starting it. We are currently working on a pilot project to have a 8 week long program to teach and help youth get introduced to…
This project/program is inspired by Steve Cody's entrepreneurial career which he started when he was 17 years old with a bucket, squeegee, and $1200 his grandfather had saved for him. We want to create a program to teach youth about being an entrepreneur, get them thinking differently and following their dreams and passions. This would be the first year we are starting it. We are currently working on a pilot project to have a 8 week long program to teach and help youth get introduced to starting their own business and get youth excited about entrepreneurship. The goal is to have the youth work on their business idea or product throughout the program and finally pitch to a board "Dragon's Den" style. One male and one female will be awarded a $1200 bursary to help start their business. A lot of amazing people are helping out with the program as well! We have gotten lots of great feedback and interest already and look forward to starting the program in the New Year!
