Today on the MIX Morning Show, Executive Director Kellie Brace and Resource Development & Communications Coordinator Jenn Barrett sat down with Jodie Jenkins and Mariam Serkal to highlight the campaign, and talk about how the foundation helps children and families. 

LISTEN:

The Learning Foundation needs our community’s support to ensure that:
● A missed breakfast doesn’t stand in the way of graduation
● A family emergency doesn’t stand in the way of graduation
● A lack of food doesn’t stand in the way of graduation
● No barrier—whether hunger, financial crisis, or personal adversity—should stand in the way of a student’s success and path to graduation

How can it be dealt, especially when the person creating the problem is a supervisor. And why does that power difference matter so much?

Workplace harassment is not simply about hurt feelings. When someone feels threatened, humiliated, watched, or unsafe over time, it can affect sleep, physical health, confidence, relationships, and their ability to function.

And for organizations, having a respectful-workplace policy is not enough.

The real test is whether people can raise concerns safely, whether feedback is fair and clear, and whether people with power are held to the same standards as everyone else. It is not only about whether one person is disciplined. It is whether the workplace actually becomes safer afterwards.

It is a day to remember the children who died at residential schools, honour survivors and their families, and recognize the ongoing effects of the residential school system on Indigenous peoples and communities.

Today on the MIX Morning Show, Jodie Jenkins and Mariam Serkal sit down with Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW and talking about breaking generational patterns.

Every family has patterns. Some are positive, like traditions and ways of showing love. Others may involve how we handle emotions, conflict, or stress. The important thing is that we are not stuck repeating what we learned. Awareness gives us the ability to choose something different.

When we are stressed or overwhelmed, we often return to what feels familiar. A parent may raise their voice, shut down, or dismiss emotions, not because they do not love their child, but because those responses were learned somewhere along the way. That moment can become an opportunity for growth.

Instead of asking, ‘What is wrong with me?’ we can ask, ‘What is this reaction showing me?’

Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Opposition, weighed in on the matter and said unfortunately, people are not shocked by what happened.

Speaking with Jodie Jenkins and Mariam Serkal, Poilievre also gave his opinion on what the government of Canada can do differently to protect people from visiting their place of worship.
