Today it’s our turn to say Thank You

Close to 500 Alberta families are experiencing the excruciating heart ache and pain of losing a loved one to COVID-19. Now more than ever we must work together to ensure the health and safety of all Albertans. Please follow the recommended guidelines to help slow the spread. If you are thinking of a friend or loved one who may be feeling isolated, reach out and pick up the phone. It will take an effort from all of us to bend the curve. We are in this together.

Fire Prevention Week kicks off today. This years theme is: Serve up Fire Safety in the Kitchen

Crunch We really don't know what other people are going through in their lives. You may not even know what your closest family or friends are struggling with. C...ovid, kids, marriages, divorce, finances, health, moving, mental stresses are just a few of the strains on our lives. For first responders, we need to put all that aside to do our work and manage the emergencies of others. It's tough when those emergencies crunch into our own personal stressors, especially when those events follow us home. Remember that we're all dealing with something and try to consider that before judging others. Let's just be nice to each other. Have a healthy and safe week everyone. Respectfully, DanSun www.dansunphotos.com
