Living our values

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going” – these were my parting words to my middle school classmates, inscribed in the graduating class’s yearbook. I still laugh a bit when I think back to that determined 13 year-old who dreamt of swimming for Canada in the Olympics. And while that dream never became a reality, the lesson of resilience and hard work persevered. “Having impact through insight and tenacity” is a value that I seek to live by every day, willing to go the extra mile and always continue learning."
