Two firefighters, Christa Steele and Mindy Smith, have launched a proposed class-action lawsuit against the city, alleging many years of abuse by coworkers, sometimes escalating to the point of sexual assault.

The lawsuit does not accuse Clancy of sexual assault or harassment. But it claims he and other senior managers oversaw a toxic work environment that belittled and targeted women.

Friends, I find that I am going to have to cancel our Friday trivia event fundraiser. Last Friday, Alberta saw over 800 new Covid-19 cases. Today, 629 were announced. When I first started planning for this event, I had no idea we'd be going into a fourth wave like this. Sad. 1/4
2/4
I was looking forward, more than anything, to having a fun event with a bunch of like minded people.
Here's what I will be doing:

- Setting up an online auction for the awesome, hand-crafted and specially selected items that were donated to fund the campaign.

This evening at 4:45pm we got a call from a social worker that works with seniors. She called us in a frenzy asking us for immediate help.
She told us of an emergency so extreme that her voice shook with concern over one of her clients.

This is what she said:
"Hello Jen, I was hoping I would be able to contact you before I left my work for the day in regards to a rather important situation that came across my desk this afternoon. I hope you have the time to chat?"
I said "Yes of course, how can we help?" #care

She said "We have a senior lady that is struggling so much that she has been going door to door asking for food from others in her complex."
I was quiet and honestly speechless.

Here is what has happened as of late:
This past weekend alone, we had over 30 emergency requests from individuals & families fleeing domestic violence. Many leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
We were able to help about 17 of these individuals find shelter and lodging via referrals to other groups.

We will be assisting them and their families in hopes of helping them feel safe once again.

I have been sitting here at my computer here for the past half hour deciding whether or not I wanted to post about what me and a few members of my team experienced today.

I was out shopping for our food hampers, when my phone rang.
Before I go on....I want to make it clear that Harvest Hills Cares Calgary's Phone will always be answered. The only time it won't be is if we are in a meeting or driving.

I answered the phone...It was a mom of 4 that was told by her worker to come down to the AB Works office to turn in her 90 days of bank statements...& that if she didn't bring them down by the end of the day she would not get her check until Tuesday of next week.
Someone messaged us and asked us what the total would be to help everyone that is currently on our list.
To help everyone on our list we would need a total amount of $2435.00
That amount would let us fill all 23 hamper requests.

If anyone could help us reach that total, we could then put the minds of 23 families at ease because then they would not have to worry about having to feed their families. Having to feed their children. Having to go without eating just so they can make the food they do have last

Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
This mom had gone to the food bank and gone to the brown bagging for kids as well has utilized the free meals that are handed out throughout the city.
This is a mom who has tried EVERYTHING to find a job and get help from different organizations and the government.

She went to Alberta Works and was told she had to go after the dad for child support before they could help her. They gave her papers on how to contact maintenance enforcement and how to go to court for child support. That’s great but that doesn’t help her now....
If people donate a total amount of $1000 I will take a picture of me in my @Hell_Berta hoodie from @BallerGearCA later on tonight!

I have to admit that late this evening I sat down and cried at all the atrocities that the Alberta Government has done to Albertans all over the province.
I also have to admit that every story that I hear, my heart breaks just a little bit more for the people that have no voice

On Sunday, Dr. Cody Thomson of Drayton Valley informed his patients he will close his practice and move to British Columbia, a choice he called “incredibly difficult.”

“I never imagined I would be sitting here and writing this letter. I was born in the community and have lived the majority of my life here. I have spent the last seven years getting to know many thousands of patients and their loved ones,” Thomson wrote.
“The professional reasons are specifically due to the current state of affairs in Alberta between its physicians and the United Conservative Party under Premier Jason Kenney and Minister Tyler Shandro."
