Ambassador Deborah Chatsis @DChatsis was a champion for global human rights and 🇨🇦 diplomacy. What a leader. She also had a great smile, and a grace under pressure that was inspiring. Please consider a donation in her memory 👉 https://t.co/JsR7IiBygJ #inspiration #diplomacy https://t.co/6UrI5qvRV3

Amb Deborah Chatsis (CM) was a Canadian change maker.

A trailblazer for women and indigenous diplomats. Tenacious multilateral negotiator. Human rights advocate. Peacemaker. An insightful colleague and generous mentor.

We will strive to live up to the standard she set. https://t.co/GGlBs0cXLR

Deborah Chatsis was my Ambassador in Guatemala for too little time. She inspired & touched the lives of so many with her serene leadership. Brilliant, funny, trailblazing as an Indigenous woman. It’s hard to believe she is not a WhatsApp message away
