Partner, PwC Canada Age 39 Joining the partnership of PwC Canada has been a significant career highlight for me. It felt very special because I spent most of my career life working in a different market, culture and language at PwC Europe in Vienna, Austria. Joining the partnership allowed me to become part of an incredibly supportive and collaborative group of individuals, here in Vancouver and nationally. Additionally, it provided me with the opportunity to drive initiatives and make an impact in areas that I deeply care about. The decision to move and ultimately stay in Canada, a country where we did not know anyone, was a significant turning point in my life. Leaving behind our family, friends and professional network in Europe was not easy, but we wanted to see the world and live new experiences. We moved when our children were just two and four years old, which meant we could not rely on the support system we had back home. Adapting to a new market and building new connections required me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new opportunities and challenges. I strive to lead by inspiring others to achieve their best, work as a team and make continuous improvements. Fostering a collaborative environment can be challenging with a globally dispersed team, but I take the time to get to know my colleagues personally. I want everyone to feel empowered, valued and engaged. I encourage my team to take ownership, ask critical questions and bring new ideas. The biggest lesson I have learned in business is to focus on what I can control and let go of the rest. In the fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by factors beyond our control. By concentrating on what we can influence, we can make more effective decisions and maintain a positive mindset. I never played tennis but hear tennis players—such as Bianca Andreescu in her kids’ book Bibi’s Got Game, which I like to read with my daughter— talk about this often. A great piece of advice I got is: “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” This resonates deeply with me because you never know what people are going through in life. Moreover, a simple act of kindness, or just a smile, can make a significant difference in our interactions, no matter if they are personal or professional. Success, to me, is about making a positive impact while achieving personal and professional growth. I strive to make a positive impact by helping others be successful—connecting people and bringing growth opportunities, being a cheerleader and a sounding board. I want to make a positive change in my field and in my community working with my clients and colleagues on meaningful projects and initiatives that improve the status quo, often leveraging technology and data. I am most passionate about family, youth, youth sports, technology and entrepreneurship. Spending quality time with my family is incredibly important to me, and I love being involved in activities that support and inspire young people. Youth sports are a particular interest, as they teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, resilience and perseverance. I have a keen interest in technology and enjoy staying updated on the latest advancements, and I am passionate about supporting the startup ecosystem. There are still many exciting projects left to accomplish, and many more to come in the future, particularly those involving innovation and challenging how we think and act to embrace change. I am enthusiastic about technological disruption and the changes it brings in my field of work. The non-profit boards where I am a director have ambitious goals that I want to support. There are other projects around the topics I am passionate about. I am always on a mission. I would like to thank my husband, children and my family for always being here for me. My fellow PwC partners, in particular Jason Boyer, and my colleagues and alumni for supporting me and giving me opportunities to grow, as well as creating many fun memories. I would also like to thank my clients and the community for the opportunity to work together. “Keep going!” First I heard this phrase being used in sports when I came to Canada. It is so valuable for life Tyler Robinson Foundation supporting pediatric cancer families, the West Vancouver Foundation supporting causes on the Vancouver North Shore, and others Walks on the beach and water sports, such as paddleboard, kayak, sailing or swimming.

Sung Foundation organised 16 days of activism against gender-based violence in the NorthThe Texas Supreme Court on Friday overturned a lower court ruling that state Attorney General Ken Paxton testify in a whistleblower lawsuit at the heart of impeachment charges brought against him in 2023. The court on Friday said Paxton’s office does not dispute any issue in the lawsuit by four former Paxton employees and agreed to any judgment in the case. “In a major win for the State of Texas, the state Supreme Court has sided with Attorney General Paxton against former OAG employees whose effort to prolong costly, politically-motivated litigation against the agency has wasted public resources for years," a statement from Paxton's office said. An attorney for one of the plaintiffs declined immediate comment, and a second attorney did not immediately return a phone call for comment. The former employees allege they were improperly fired or forced out for bringing to the FBI allegations that Paxton was misusing his office to protect a friend and campaign donor, who in turn, they said, was helping the attorney general to conceal an extramarital affair. The Supreme Court ruling noted that the Texas governor and Legislature have expressed a desire to hear testimony from the witnesses prior to agreeing to appropriate funds to settle the lawsuit. The court said forcing Paxton, First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster, Chief of Staff Lesley French Henneke and senior advisor Michelle Smith to testify earlier could improperly be used for legislative purposes in deciding any appropriation. Under the preliminary deal , Paxton agreed to apologize to the former employees for calling them “rogue” employees, settle the case for $3.3 million and ask the state to pay for it, prompting the state House to reject the request and begin its own investigation, leading to the vote to impeach him. Paxton was ultimately acquitted after a Senate trial. The Supreme Court termed its ruling conditional upon the lower trial court complying with the decision, while saying it is “confident the trial court will comply” with the order.

Penn State preparing for hard-charging Jeanty and Boise State in CFP quarterfinalsCasey Richardson Castanet is revisiting the top stories of an eventful 2024. Today, for our favourite good news community stories, we look back at a number of stories from the past year that showcase the best of the Thompson-Okanagan. In West Kelowna, two pigs were spotted roaming through the community neighbourhoods and parks. Eventually, the pair ended up in the field in front of an elementary school. RCMP, animal control, and numerous animal rescues came out in an attempt to round up the pigs. The animals didn’t give up their freedom easily, however, with one running away from volunteers across the park as kids from the nearby school cheered it on. Eventually, they were able to secure both piggies, which Star’s Piggly Wiggly Sanctuary took in. “They were cheering hard for him to go piggy go," said Jacenda Byer of Petra’s Pawdicures. “It was beautiful. Honestly, we were not impressed with ourselves, but I’m glad it all turned out the way it did and the kids got a good story to go home and tell their parents now," Down south, a notorious four-legged Penticton runaway finally found himself a home. The local pup used to be seen roaming city streets for years before, being nicknamed Oreo. Now named Benny, the pup has settled in quite nicely with his family. The City of Penticton celebrated success with the implementation of its accessible chairs and mats installed at Sudbury Beach. A visitor from the Sunshine Coast came all the way to the Skaha Lake to give the Mobi mats and chairs a spin. “I've not been in the water for six years because of the walker, I can't push this on the beach,” Edna Carley said. “I was thrilled to pieces to know that this was here for people like me who can't walk on the beach.” In Oliver, a resident pushed for a response to a cat stuck on the top of a power pole for five days. FortisBC had declined previously to attend the area, citing safety reasons, but eventually came down. The worker shut off the power and headed up to retrieve the cat when it jumped down safely. Two Vernon boys were honoured at their hockey practice for their “life-saving” actions life last year, given the BC EHS Good Samaritan award. Benji and Carson received the award for helping a man having a medical emergency in October 2022. CLIP “We were selling chocolate bars for a fundraiser for our hockey team, and we knocked on someone's door. Luckily, he had glass windows and doors [so] we could see him. He fell down the stairs and passed out.” The boys found a neighbour to get help, called 911 and stayed with the man until EHS arrived. Benji and Carson were each awarded with a plaque and a goody bag of items from BC EHS. The kind-hearted nature of Vernon residents doesn’t stop there. A local decided to run a marathon a day to raise money for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, in honour of his mother. At the end of May, Oliver Stankiewicz raised over $36,000 for a new piece of technology for the hospital’s cancer care unit. Come August, he had crossed over the 100,000 dollar mark. Up in Salmon Arm, the theft of a parrot from a local pet store had local RCMP and the community on the lookout, even offering a cash reward. Sightings were reported and chased down for hours, until finally, Ed’s World of Critters and Supplies staff were able to retrieve the bird from the thief. When the bird was returned to the store, it was promptly purchased by a customer, who had been saving up for months to bring him home. In Kamloops, efforts from three young kids resulted in a swing set getting installed a local park. With the help of their parents, Sitka Porte r put together a petition in April asking the city to install swings at the North Shore playground. “I personally like swings because you can go really fast and very high,” said eight-year-old Porter. “It’s kind of just an essential for a park — and this park has no swings.” The petition got traction from the kids’ door-knocking and online presence, resulting in a conversation with the city’s parks division. In early summer, upgrades planned for another Park allowed for a swing set to become available, which was installed at a local park at the end of November. A Kamloops Grade 12 student made history in November at the BC School Sports swimming championships, setting three records while taking home four gold medals. The teen swimmer discovered she had an invisible impairment later on in life, which led to her shift to become a paraathlete. She now has her sights set on competing in the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. These are just a few of the feel-good stories from the Thompson-Okanagan in 2024 — did we miss your favourite?

AP News Summary at 4:15 p.m. ESTIran is poised to “quite dramatically” increase its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium as it has started cascades of advanced centrifuges, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned Friday. The comments from Rafael Mariano Grossi came just hours after Iran said it conducted a successful space launch with its heaviest payload ever, the latest for its program that the West alleges improves Tehran’s ballistic missile program. The launch of the Simorgh rocket comes as Iran’s nuclear program now enriches uranium at 60%, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%. While Iran maintains its program is peaceful, officials in the Islamic Republic increasingly threaten to potentially seek the bomb and an intercontinental ballistic missile that would allow Tehran to use the weapon against distant foes like the United States. The moves are likely to further raise tensions gripping the wider Middle East over Israel’s continued war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip and as an uneasy ceasefire holds in Lebanon. However, Iran may as well be preparing the ground for possible talks with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, who in his first term unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. The U.S. intelligence community in a report released Thursday said that while “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon” it has “undertaken activities that better position it to produce one, if it so chooses.” The Iranian debate over seeking the bomb “risks emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus and shifting the thinking of current and future Iranian elites about the utility of nuclear weapons,” the report added. Grossi, speaking to journalists in Bahrain, on the sidelines of the International Institute of Strategic Studies’ Manama Dialogue, said his inspectors planned to see just how many centrifuges Iran would be spinning after Tehran informed his agency of its plans. “I think it is very concerning,” Grossi said. “They were preparing and they have all of these facilities sort of in abeyance and now they are activating that. So we are going to see.” He added: “If they really make them turn — all of them — it’s going to be a huge jump.” An IAEA statement issued shortly after Grossi’s remarks said Iran had begun feeding two cascades of advanced IR-6 centrifuges with uranium previously enriched up to 20% at its underground Fordo facility. That site is located under a mountain, protecting it from airstrikes. Cascades are a group of centrifuges that spin uranium gas together to more quickly enrich the uranium. The IR-6 centrifuges enrich uranium faster than Iran’s baseline IR-1 centrifuges, which have been the workhorse of the country’s atomic program. Adding 20% uranium, as opposed to 5% uranium previously planned, further speeds up that process. “The facility’s updated design information showed that the effect of this change would be to significantly increase the rate of production,” the IAEA statement said. Iran separately will start feeding natural uranium into eight other IR-6 cascades at Fordo as well to produce 5%-enriched uranium, it added. The IAEA warned in late November that Iran was preparing to begin enriching uranium with thousands of advanced centrifuges. That came as a response to the Board of Governors at the IAEA condemning Iran for failing to cooperate fully with the agency. Iran did not acknowledge the preparations. The Iranian mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, the launch Friday took place at Iran’s Imam Khomeini Spaceport in rural Semnan province, some 135 miles east of Tehran. That’s the site of Iran’s civilian space program, which has suffered a series of failed Simorgh launches in the past. The Simorgh carried what Iran described as an “orbital propulsion system,” as well as two research systems to a 250-mile orbit above the Earth. A system that could change the orbit of a spacecraft would allow Iran to geo-synchronize the orbits of its satellites, a capability Tehran has long sought. It also carried the Fakhr-1 satellite for Iran’s military, the first time Iran’s civilian program is known to have carried a military payload. Iran also put the payload of the Simorgh at 660 pounds, heavier than all its previous successful launches within the country. State television carried footage of a correspondent discussing the payload just as the Simorgh lifted off into the sky, as people called out: “God is the greatest!” The U.S. military referred questions about the launch to the country’s Space Command, which did not respond. Space experts said tracking data appeared to show the launch successfully put objects in orbit. The United States has previously said Iran’s satellite launches defy a U.N. Security Council resolution and called on Tehran to undertake no activity involving ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. U.N. sanctions related to Iran’s ballistic missile program expired in October 2023. “Iran’s work on space-launch vehicles — including its Simorgh — probably would shorten the timeline to produce an intercontinental ballistic missile, if it decided to develop one, because the systems use similar technologies,” a U.S. intelligence community report released in July said. Iran has always denied seeking nuclear weapons and says its space program, like its nuclear activities, is for purely civilian purposes. However, U.S. intelligence agencies and the IAEA say Iran had an organized military nuclear program up until 2003. Under Iran’s relatively moderate former President Hassan Rouhani, the Islamic Republic slowed its space program for fear of raising tensions with the West. The late hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi, a protégé of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who came to power in 2021, pushed the program forward. Raisi died in a helicopter crash in May. Iran’s reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian, who has been signaling he wants to negotiate with the West over sanctions, has yet to offer a strategy when it comes to Iran’s ambitions in space. The Simorgh launch represented the first for his administration from the country’s civil space program. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard conducted a successful launch of its parallel program in September.Stock market today: Wall Street rises toward more records
