On Being Canadian

About Me

Hi, I’m Krista.

Strategic communicator and storyteller.

I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

Yesterday, we celebrated being Canadian. The more that I study Canada, the more I am proud to call it home. I know what you’re thinking…Canada has a history?! It’s a short one, but its a good one.
We gathered in Trafalgar square along with thousands of other Canadians…or wannabe Canadians, ate pancakes with maple syrup, watched hockey and drank beer (okay, I didn’t drink beer, but there was lots of it). It was a good day to be Canadian.
