Dear Julia,
I will forever be grateful for the opportunity you gave me as the inaugural EDI Executive at the Holland Bloorview Hospital. Your trust, mentorship, and friendship didn’t just shape my career—they shaped me as a person. You believed in me when I was facing glass ceilings in my career, and that confidence allowed me to grow into the best version of myself.
I’ll never forget the evening we celebrated your recognition as one of Canada’s Top 100 Women Leaders. The joy in the room, the laughter we shared, and the pride I felt as I watched you receive that honour will always stay with me.
As you step into retirement, I hope you embrace every moment—rest deeply, chase your passions, and savour the life you’ve worked so hard to create. You deserve nothing less.
With heartfelt gratitude and warm wishes,
Your friend Meenu
