"Today, we walked to support women and girls whose reality is very different from our own," she wrote on this post.

"Thanks for having me @carecanada - and for being a strong voice working to end the cycle of poverty."

Her caption: "What a weekend celebrating #BCDay! Highlights from our visit: meeting Cowichan Valley farmers at the @duncanfarmersmarket and learning about BC’s forestry industry at the @bcforestdiscoverycenter… Xav even learned about the work the firefighters do!"

Her caption: "Young Canadians, you can make a difference in this world by speaking up, sharing your story, and helping each other & your communities – and that’s what you did at the #YouthSummit2019. Remember, it’s not your titles and achievements that define your worth and value but the steps you take to get there. It was such a joy to meet you all, and I hope our paths cross again!"

Her caption: "Today, I had the pleasure of spending the day with a group of truly inspiring young women. To kick the day off, I joined @girls.20 @PlanCanada International and @fillactive_fitspirit to open the Toronto Stock Exchange. After that, I met with ambassadors from the #GirlsBelongHere challenge – an important initiative that gave young women the chance to walk in the shoes of Canadian leaders. I hope these girls inspire you to push your limits and reach higher than ever before. Happy International Day of the Girl!"

Her caption: "Every child has the right to be treated equally, but we know that’s far from reality. 75% of girls right here in Canada say they’ve been discriminated against simply because they’re girls. Well, we’re sending a message to the world that we’re no longer going to accept this as normal. What an empowering day in Toronto with @plancanada yesterday, talking about girls’ rights and gender equality. Together we can re-write the status quo and #DefyNormal."

Her caption: "I see a baby or a child and I smile deep from the heart. Been like that since I can remember! On National Child Day, I want to share this photo from my time visiting with @RootsofEmpathy – a program that brings babies and parents into classrooms to teach children about responsibility, emotional literacy, and to counter bullying. Through this amazing program, kids take the lessons they’ve learned from their baby “teachers” into their adolescence, teen years and through the rest of their lives."

Her caption: "There is nothing like getting together with the family – and a few thousand friends - to celebrate this great country of ours. Happy Canada Day!"

"What could be more beautiful than people coming together to celebrate love," she wrote on her post about attending Pride Toronto.

It’s a chance to let go of yesterday, let go of tomorrow, and just meet ourselves where we’re at. We learn to let go of judgment and accept and love ourselves – and to bring that love to others. So today, on International Yoga Day, connect with each breath, and connect with each other."
