Looking forward to it.  My wifi tends to be a little spotty with a pretty good delay so will mostly smile and listen

Hello Classmates;  The party begins on April 10 at 6:00pm Alberta time.  Clear your "busy" covid social calender!   It is booked for at least 2 hours and we will have an introduction then break out into rooms and will switch people around during the session.   We have ~ 30 people on the virtual reunion!!  More detail to follow.  Hopefully most or all have recieved their gift basket and the wine is on the way.  We can celebrate together with our wine and cheese and sorry for the ones that decided not to get the gifts and the classmates to far away. You will have to BYOB!  Denise: great pictures!

Hello Classmates:  Only two more sleeps!!!  

April 10th Reunion:

6:00pm Alberta and Sask Time 

7:00pm Manitoba Time

5:00pm BC Time

4:00pm Ontario Time 

The virtual reunion will be by Zoom and the information will be sent out tomorrow morning.  We will have 20-30 minutes to at the beginning all together and then break out rooms with smaller groups that will switch every 15-20 minutes.  This will allow classmates to see  everyone.  At the end we will meet all together and who ever wants to continue talking ( and drinking) can.  

I hope everyone recieved their gift basket and wine!  There was some miscommunication and I believe a gift basket and wine was sent out to all classmates except, USA, Austrialia and Scotland.  The few Canadian classmates that decided not to have the wine/gift basket,  I believe they still sent you one.   Sorry but I am sure you can find good use of them!

It was wonderful to see so many old friends and hear where life has taken you. I wish I didn't have another meeting and could have stayed longer to catch up with more people. Huge shout out to Lisa and Shane for putting this together for us AND for the wine too!

For those of you with whom I didn't get a chance to connect, I wanted to share my new adventure as I would be honoured to support your journey or that of your team. The last few years have not just taken us around the world having the gap year(s) we didn't take in our twenties. It has also taken me back to university as I complete my executive coaching certifications (leadership and business coaching), values-based leadership certification and certification as a values and cultural consultant. You can check out my website (in the process of being redesigned by a REAL web designer not Elaine wink) at www.evolvecoachconsult.com or email at evolvecoachconsult@gmail.com. I have been writing for the West Coast Vet Journal (links on CVMA website) on topics related to workplace culture and wellness and kept a blog of our travels and volunteer projects at www.vetswithoutboundaries.com. if anyone is interested.

Honestly, it feels weird to put this out here as I do not want to be self-laudatory AND I believe in growing this business through genuine connections. So why am I doing this? I have always been a people person, connector and builder of community and I care deeply about the people in this profession. I am not about fixing what is broken but building on what is great already and thinking outside the box to inspire, empower and connect our teams. I believe positive change needs to come from our leaders - in education, in industry and in our hospitals. The way we do things or our culture in veterinary medicine needs to evolve to meet the needs of our current world, our clients and our teams. 

I write, offer workshops, run a leadership group for veterinary leaders (docs, techs, practice managers) that meets monthly and builds connections across Canada, speak, coach students at UCVM in the professional skills labs and offer one-on-one leadership coaching. I would be humbled to support you and thrilled if you passed on my information to colleagues who might be interested. 

Until we can meet in person, be well and find your happy place,

Elaine

Thank you everyone.  The even was so amazing.  I would of never believed a virtual Class reunion could be so good!!  Thanks Elaine for up dating us on your "speciality"  and as a freind and classmate, I wouldl definitely recommend you.  This is valuable networking and we should use this message form  for things like that.   Remember,  I will know in July if the Canwest Conference in Banff is on so keep that date open- Oct 16-19 for a real in person reunion!!

Take care!

Like Elaine said, such sad news of Bruce's passing but now with the knowledge that he was suffering mental health issues and felt there was no way out... the depth of my sorrow is so much profound. May you finally have found peace Bruce, I am so sorry this world failed to help you. Deepest sympathy for all your family and friends.

Susan Tanner (Calverley)

Thank you Shane and Lisa for letting us know about Bruce so that we can reach out with fond memories and heartfelt words to his family.

In difficult times every message is a thread in the social fabric that helps to catch the fall of a struggling family.

We are far away,  but also very close.    Please reach out if you need a chat, or dont know where to turn - karrierose@optusnet.com.au, karrie.rose on skype.

Love to all,  Karrie
