I Want My Children To See An Elephant

One of my earliest memories as a little boy was going to the Granby Zoo while growing up in Montreal with my family. I remember not necessarily knowing why the animals were there, but being so captivated by their beauty. No animal made a bigger impact than the elephant. It’s sheer size and magnificence stopped me in my velcro shoes. Ever since that moment I have had this adoration for one of the most, in my opinion, majestic creatures on the planet. 2018 has been a hard year for me when it comes to my environmental stances on certain topics. From the albino rhino earlier this year, to the importance of discussing the alarming rate that many species are approaching (or have entered) endangered status. There is so much good in the world, but there is still so much for us to do to be better. Because I want my future children to be able to see an elephant and not have them be something in story books. So let’s talk about #WorldElephantDay and why I am so proud to have partnered with Amarula to share their #AmarulaTrust campaign on August 12th in Canada.

How You Can Join Us At #CommsWeekCA

Going into the August long weekend, I find myself looking back on the success of 2018 with a smile. We have achieved some pretty incredible things around the world, and I have so many more exciting things to announce in the coming weeks. I believe that our success is based on the people we surround ourselves with. We support some pretty fantastic people in the media and in turn they support us, and on and on the cycle of positivity goes. I remember when I first stepped into this world and realized that anything is possible. So as we gear up as an official partner of Communications Week in Canada presented by Press Pillay , taking place here in Toronto on October 18th, there is even more to celebrate. And this time, you can come join us in the excitement!  Continue reading “How You Can Join Us At #CommsWeekCA”

There’s A Reason Why I Love Quetzal Already

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I must have been Mexican in a past life. From sitting on the beaches of the resort towns with my husband, to almost surreal spiritual moments exploring the temples of this iconic country, there is something tangibly beautiful about all things Mexican for me. Did I also mention that I am almost always going to order Mexican and Latino food if I get to pick what we are eating? So when I found out about the opening of Quetzal in Toronto – opening their doors to the public on August 8th, I knew immediately that I had to make reservations.

Getting An Early Start On Those Letters To Santa

We’ve already talked about winter on the blog earlier this year, so I guess it’s time to talk about Christmas? Some of you will smile, and others will curse my name, but it is technically coming up quickly. I should explain a little something for those of you who don’t understand the BTS of working in the media – the brands and events that we are attending right now are getting excited for the holidays because in our world we are always looking to the next big season. It may seem a bit backwards, but it’s also kind of exciting. So while I sift through gift guides and all things holidays (planning content for us well into December already), I wanted to bring you BTS at some of my favourite items I hope are waiting for me under the tree this year.
