Work

Good day everyone, I'm based in Lloydminster and I'm still waiting for a work permit to come through. But the issue is that I have a criminal record due to uncontrollable circumstances so big businesses are off the table. My long term plan after I get my pardon is to become an insurance broker in Saskatchewan, but in the mean time I'm compiling a list of small businesses and business which are likely to not ask for a criminal record check. I'm trying to be optimistic because mentors in my community eg my probation officer said that there are places in the city which will give me a chance. To be specific I'm looking for non manual labor jobs and non kitchen work which is usually recommended for ex convicts but I think I can make it work. I'm thinking about applying for admin roles at oilfields and trucking companies as well as independent retail like hot peppers clothing and u bet yah. I'm looking for admin roles and customer service and retail roles. Chatgpt said there are about 1900 small businesses in Lloydminster and about 600 - 900 businesses fit my profile which is about 900 potential employers I can apply to. I used to run a business and I was a member of the chamber of commerce and on their website lists businesses that I can contact. Do I have some hope or am I being delusional? I have a university degree not a trades diploma so trades and manual labour is off the table for me. I really think I can make this work. Would people with experience with this let me know their thoughts?

Where to donate food stuff

Was working out of a hotel in LLOYD, going back home tonight on a flight and have some leftover foods not opened, wondering if anybody here could use it or point me in the right direction. I’m leaving tonight and most of the places I googled are closed

Help Shape Better Menopause Care in Canada: Participate in the Can-RISE Study

Menopause is a major life transition, yet many people face it with limited information, support, and access to care.

That’s why we invite you to participate in the Can-RISE study, a national initiative exploring the real-life impact of perimenopause and menopause across Canada.

We invite you to complete a 20–30 minute online survey about how perimenopause, menopause, and related symptoms affect daily living and wellbeing. 

You may be eligible if you: 

  • Are 35 to 70 years old 
  • Live in Canada  
  • Were assigned female at birth and identify as a woman, gender-diverse person, or trans person

  

Upon completion, participants will be entered into a draw for a $50, $100, $250 and $500 gift card (1 winner announced for each), valid for use in Canada only.

Take the survey here: https://redcap.link/a1rar9aq 

This is your opportunity to make perimenopause and menopause care better for all Canadians. 

Only the study team will have access to the information you provide. You can choose to remain anonymous when filling out the survey so there will be no way for the study team to identify you.

This study is run by the Partnership for Women's Health Research Canada, with its partners at Women’s Health Research Institute, Women and Children’s Health Research Institute, Women’s College Hospital, McGill University Health Centre Research Institute, and IWK Health. This study is led by Dr. Lori Brotto (Women’s Health Research Institute and University of British Columbia).

This study has been approved by the University of British Columbia Research Ethics Board (ID #H26-00344).
