The most wonderful human in the world was featured by @CdnDermatology. "You have to have a sense of humour, because bizarre things are going to happen and you can either grumble about them, or laugh at them, and I choose the latter."
Today we highlight our 2nd #MemberKudos – Dr. Anna Williams! Filmed at this year’s #CdnDermConf, Dr. Michele Ramien chats with Dr. Williams to get the scoop on what it’s like to be a rural dermatologist and more! Check out our other socials for the full video! #99DaysofKudos

🏉 Meet Vinny, age 36! 🌟 My rugby journey has been wild, from coaching juniors at my home club to guiding the Calgary Saints SW1 women's team to city champs. One thing is certain: coaching isn't just about the game; it's about clarity, vision, and building a rugby family.

That's it folks! My term has come to an end. Although I had the opportunity to be re-elected for 1 more 3-year term, the timing was right for me to step away after 6 years on the board & focus on other rugby initiatives near & dear to my heart. Not goodbye... just see you soon :)
