This cover, by the legendary Kent Monkman, says so much. All of my book covers hold meaning. This one, is a perfect companion to the inside pages. The Knowing is a book about the matriarchal line of my family, a book about finding our lost relations. If every First Nations, Métis and Inuit family told their story, we would rewrite the truth about Canada. All my relations. @HarperCollinsCa On sale Aug 27. harpercollins.com/products/t…

This #WorldTurtleDay, we shed light on the impacts of Bill 5 on Ontario's snapping turtles and their habitats.
Snapping turtles occupy wide ranges of Ontario's shallow water bodies and terrestrial areas. As a species of special concern, they are threatened by #Bill5, which reduces habitat protections and removes the focus on species recovery.
Help protect snapping turtles by sharing this post, our blog and educating others about the threats this species faces and the problems with Bill 5.
