How to act around #servicedogs from the wife of a #veteran
🧵: My husband served 2 tours in Afghanistan as a tank driver with the #CAF. He joined when he was only 17 and served for over 7 years. He has very severe #PTSD, we’ve been told by VA case managers that he has one of 1/13

The Bank of Canada increased its rate to 3.25 percent today. It's now likely above the neutral rate (i.e., contractionary for the first time in a while). bankofcanada.ca/2022/09/fad-… #cdnecon

Word of the day is ‘shaffle’ (19th century): to futz about and dither instead of getting on with the important stuff; to fiddle while Rome burns.
Have you ever wanted to foster a dog?
BC & AB Guide Dogs are looking for 'Puppy Trainers'; it's a 1.5-2yr commitment to raise a puppy who will go on to work as a service animal. Food/vet/training is all paid for by the org.

People ask me how they can help healthcare providers.
1. Learn CPR
2. Carry naloxone
3. Exercise every day.
4. Cook your own meals. (Mostly)
5. Vote always.
6. Ongoing adult education.
7. Volunteer
Sounds simple, but if we did them all the world would be a better place.

Reason number 1,753 why artificial grass is terrible: it gets crazily hot in warm weather.

Inflation pressures are broad-based, to be absolutely clear, but this is worth noting: if shelter and energy prices remained flat since last year, I estimate headline inflation would have been 3.2% in May instead of 7.7%. #cdnecon

With the forecasted rainfall, and out of an abundance of caution, we are taking steps to ensure you are safe.
Over the last 24 hours, the forecast has not improved, with the potential for more severe weather than originally anticipated.

ALT A dial showing the river conditions of the Bow and Elbow Rivers. The dial is pointing to "Watch for flood alerts" and "flooding in parks along river" and "possible basement seepage"
Please remember that while we're all enjoying the nice weather, our pets should not be left in cars during errands once temps hit over 20C (or even over 16-18C, to be cautious).
Wait, hold up. How did I not know about this?! cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/c…

We’re very pleased to announce that Glenbow has received an $80 million joint investment to the Glenbow Reimagined campaign from the Government of Canada and Government of Alberta through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.

If you've ever considered fostering dogs, @CalgaryHumane is looking for temporary homes for surrendered animals! They provide support and advice, etc. It can be incredibly rewarding to foster an animal, and is great practice if you're not ready to be a forever home yet!
An excellent list! But not even a complete one. This is one of the many reasons I'd recommend having independent representation, you may never realise what you've just disclosed with an off-hand remark! #yycre

In case anyone is interested in trying bullet journaling the new year, I can highly recommend this layout. The 'weather forecast' is useful as a mood/pain tracker, if the actual outdoors aren't interesting to you. 🤣

Good news!
Starting today, individuals can apply for a condominium manager license.
All individuals engaging in condominium management services must be licensed by Dec 1, 2021.
This adds regulation and professional standards to a very important part of real estate in Alberta!

You may want to sit down for this. Glenbow is closing for 3 years to renovate the museum. Last day to visit: Sunday Aug. 29
But don't worry! Our pop-up location opens Feb 2022, & in 2024, we reopen with a fresh new look (and our very own front door!) 🤩
