Facebook Marketplace would be easier if people read the ad before messaging.

WHAT A CAREER

Brad Gushue has just played his last game at the Brier. A remarkable career. Six Brier titles. World title. Olympic gold and bronze. 15 Slam titles.

It’s been an honour to cover so many of those moments. Congratulations @BradGushue.

Thanks. I am hoping the expanded service in Bayers Lake properly meets the needs of those trying to access the Outpatient Centre. Some folks currently have to take two buses to get there.

My family doctor is leaving in July to work in another area of medicine, so I’ll be losing my primary care provider.

I’m on the provincial waitlist, but as someone living with chronic illness this is stressful.

If anyone knows of doctors accepting new patients, please let me know.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

1 in 10 are affected.
Diagnosis is delayed.
Specialized care is scarce.

We can do better.

Thank you @suzannerent.bsky.social for covering this.

Grateful to stand with those sharing their stories, especially my cousin.
