I’m posting for a friend, they moved to the city and have been struggling to find housing that’s affordable (6-700 per month is their budget) so any resources, Facebook groups or website to property management companies would be highly appreciated, i just want to help them in some way possible from far away.
Thank you to the people of Medicine Hat for the incredible job you did hosting the Special Olympics Summer Games. This was our first time in that part of Alberta, and honestly, it was so much better than I had hoped.
To the volunteers: thank you. You gave up your time to make this experience genuinely special for families like mine, and it did not go unnoticed. The warmth and enthusiasm from everyone we met made all the difference.
Your facilities are fantastic, well organized, clean, and clearly built with sport in mind first and foremost. We also really enjoyed the bike trails. I will admit as a BC boy I assumed it would be flat and did not expect how steep and fun it was coming in and out of the coulees!
Thank you again to the city, the organizers, and every single volunteer who made this possible. You should all be proud of what you pulled off and were instrumental in making a fantastic and powerful experience for my family.
Your efforts enabled my child to accomplish great, empowering things.
Thank you.
I dunno I just want to yell into the void about it. Wish it didn't happen. Annoying and dangerous. Wish more was done to curb it and enforce the law, etc
They're lying, people are dying.
What the heck is going on? Not only for myself, but several people I know have almost been hit crossing the street, at designated walking symbol crosswalks. I've had to yell twice this week alone to get the drivers attention to not hit me.
I take the time to watch the vehicles, I don't just step out, I try and catch the drivers eye, yet it's not enough. And let's not forget the people who have been hit recently.
As drivers we need to do better, open your eyes and pay attention. Driving is a privilege, and it's sure getting more expensive.
Rant that shouldn't have to happen over.
video here: https://globalnews.ca/video/12016198/alberta-man-calls-for-change-after-attack-on-service-dog/
He must of relocated to Taber to escape his horrible Medicine Hat reputation.
He claimed that someones dogs tried attacking his. And Global allowed to make these allegations without any push back.
he wanted new laws that mirror Manitoba's that allow service dog owners to get compensation for attacks on their service animals.
The people that interviewed him clearly did not do a basic google search.
he has had issues previously with his "service" dogs failing certification. And even made a failed GFM (which still managed to get over $900).
the most likely thing that happened is that a naive person tried approaching Les, and the dog showed aggression, and Les is trying to frame this as an attack to get sympathy.
This isnt the first time he has done this. Les has a made numerous GFMs and even managed to get one funded at over $10k.
Les is more infamous for his MAID claims where he claimed it was offered to him due to severe poverty.
this claim is highly dubious as he was driving around in a wrapped van promoting his service dog and a charity he called "People For Poverty" for numerous years. This is typically not something a person in extreme poverty could do.
Best places to meet people and make friends here in town? I’m lonely man.. ☹️
A Rogers salesman is going around in Ross Glen right now. He is PUSHY.
I would be very aware: he asked me several times to open my carrier's app so he could view the bill to compare prices. I flatout refused because this is a significant privacy issue. There's no way I'm giving a stranger direct access to any personal or financial details. I would advise everyone else who encounters him to do the same.
What started off as a nice chat turned into having to tell him directly numerous times that I'm not interested. I was not rude in the least since I also work sales, but he left in a huff like he was personally hurt.
Fairly certain he was plainly lying about the offers for the services he was selling. Nothing but grease here.
