Dr. James Makokis and Anthony Johnson

The Amazing Two Spirit Couple is on a mission to raise awareness to create equal access for LGBTQ2S & Indigenous populations. Their ability to blend their personal experiences with high-level expertise creates new foundations of understanding for the acceptance of individuals while empowering individuals to give them tools and strategies for how they can be a part of the solution through allyship and unity. In 2019, Dr Makokis competed alongside his husband Anthony Johnson as "Team Ahkameyimok" on the Amazing Race Canada and won, becoming the first two-spirit, Indigenous, married couple in the world to do so.

Province introducing new mandatory learning on mental health starting this upcoming school year.

May 1, 2023
Ministry of Education


BURLINGTON — Following a motion in the legislature by Natalie Pierre, Member of Provincial Parliament for Burlington, to strengthen mental health learning and supports in the classroom, the Ontario government is updating the Grade 10 Career Studies curriculum and is introducing mandatory resources for teachers and students on mental health literacy in Grades 7 and 8. These resources, developed in consultation with experts, would support students as they achieve and prepare for the next steps in their future.

Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, and MPP Pierre also announced an additional $12 million this year and $14 million next year to provide mental health services over the summer months. This funding will further students’ access to school-based mental health professionals and services year-round, with the aim of providing students consistent and reliable support, responding to a key recommendation of families and student trustees.

When Emma first noticed Imposter Syndrome sneaking in, she felt like she wasn’t qualified to be in the room.

"I've experienced Imposter Syndrome all throughout my career," Emma tells HRD. "This occurred because I felt too young or felt like I didn't have the right experience. It also happened when I was the only woman or only person of colour in a situation or in a key position."

And Emma, a global leader in the HR space speaking under the proviso of anonymity, is not alone. Imposter Syndrome is on the rise post-pandemic, with data from The Hub Spot finding that 90% of female employees suffer from it while 48% admit to having intrusive thoughts.

New report by People for Education shows that publicly funded schools in Ontario have made significant progress towards Indigenous education over the last decade but we still have a long way to go to fulfill the education-related Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
