“Compassion, strength, comfort, and humility: true leadership for leaders of the world to learn from.”

2022 Look Back I

The joy of the luckiest and proudest parents and grandparents in the world celebrating with gratitude our love for our children and our beautiful, amazing and unbelievably talented grandchildren.

Wishing everyone a very Happy, Healthy and Joyful 2023

#FamilyIsEverything

Look Back II

Celebrating two special places that uplifted our spirits throughout the year, from a sunny Pacific Spirit Park to a very snowy Kitsilano.

Look Back III

These final images of the year are to honour its heroes and despise its villains as we stand with the brave people of Ukraine and Iran and with the girls and women of Afghanistan hoping that 2023 brings victory, peace, freedom and justice for them all.
