Summary

Hello Everyone, I am proud and honored to share that I had the opportunity to speak with Canadian Senator Honorable Chantal Petitclerc in this profound and authentic interview. Senator Petitclerc discusses her journey as a para athlete, where she was asked to represent Canada. From there, she pursued a degree in humanities and then in history. Later, in the spring of 2016, she was asked to represent all Canadians and people with disabilities in the Senate. My highlight of this podcast conversation is when Chantal begins talking about the Accessible Canada Act, https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-dev elopment/programs/accessible-canada/act-summary.html one of the biggest pieces of legislation that protects the rights of people with disabilities in Canada! I also really appreciated Chantal’s response to the last question, What do think makes a Mighty Person? I hope everyone finds this podcast episode uplifting, delightful, encouraging, and finally resourceful. Finally I would like to thank my parents, my mentor Marco Pasqua, Dan Coulter, and MLA Brittny Anderson for supporting my aspirations and for coaching me to become more confident in my interviews!

Outside their association with our youth, we may wonder what significance they have to us now. There were other poems we've met along the way as well: some held no appeal while others were forgotten. And there were others we never had the opportunity to meet.This selection hopes to go beyond the experience of meeting old friends and on top opening the door to new ones — poems that might relate more significantly to our current lives. Originally titled "Personal Poems for Later Years," this collection gestures towards poems that ask us to slow down some we can consider them more deeply than before — no matter our age.Each time we read a good poem it brings with it a different meaning. Meeting a poem with an open ear, be it old friend or new, we can find its deeper significance. (Summary by Alan Davis Drake)
