COVID-19

"Since I started my online platforms just two week ago I have had almost daily Facetime and Zoom Meetings with my students and online community where we do daily check-ins on what everyone has been doing to keep busy, mini sharing sessions in the form of show-and-tells, we shared some dance moves, sang songs, read stories and most importantly helped the children and families feel a sense of community and routine in their lives."

“With increased testing, we will find more cases and that may bring new exposures at workplaces into view,” Alberta's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said. “This gives an opportunity to be sure that contact tracing and measures to prevent infection are put in place.”

“The suspension is in place until the province’s chief medical officer of health is confident the health and public safety risk from COVID-19 is reduced."

"It was a great time in my life, I thoroughly enjoyed it when I had the store and I particularly enjoyed the vets next door, Johnny Jacobson and Rod and Iowa they were just tremendous guys. We had a lot of chattering back and forth, they were also good friends. It was a good part of my life, I must say. I needed a break from what I was doing and it was a wonderful one."
