[Alberta Emergency Alert @AB_EmergAlert]

This is an Alberta Emergency Alert. Environment Canada has updated its Tornado Warning to a wider area.

This alert is in effect for Brazeau County, Cynthia, Lodgepole, Breton, Drayton Valley and surrounding area (See attached map for details).

The thunderstorm producing a tornado is located just north of Lodgepole, and is heading to the northeast at 15 km/h. Very large tennis ball sized hail and very strong winds are also possible.

This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Tornado warnings are issued when imminent or occurring thunderstorms are likely to produce or are producing tornadoes.

If you hear a roaring sound or see a funnel cloud, swirling debris near the ground, flying debris, or any threatening weather approaching, take shelter immediately.
Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet.
Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can.
As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year.
Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

We have mobilized several crews to the @WestlockCounty and Legal areas to continue to repair damage from last night’s storm. We anticipate having power restored by 3 p.m. today. There are several poles and wires down and trees on our power lines. Both the transmission and distribution services were damaged. Watch out for our crews working along roadsides. Please be careful and call 310-WIRE (9473) to report any safety concerns. We appreciate your patience. Please visit https://t.co/yBLqwL6tPy for outage map updates.

It's the perfect book for kids who love to draw and create, aiming to foster an appreciation for nature and features craft ideas to inspire young artists.

Take a look at some of the beautiful pages:

[Federation of Canadian Municipalities @FCM_online]

Thank you to FCM's Board and committee members who generously donated children's books to our Canada by the Book project. The project, sponsored by @MunicipalWorld, provides free books to a public library or school in communities across the country. The books collected at this week Board meeting will be donated to @OurYellowknife's public library.

Canada by the Book's goal is to delivers an ever-expanding and readable legacy of different community realities—including those of the diverse cities, towns and regions where FCM comes together.

We're hiring!

Faber is looking for an assistant to support the Children's Creative Team.

Working across editorial and design, this is a fantastic introduction to the day to day running of the children's team.

Could it be you?

To celebrate #ChildrensArtWeek there is a new review on #BooksThatHelp today. NATURE IS AN ARTIST (Jennifer Lavallee, Natalia Colombo @greystonebooks) is a colourful, playful book in which Nature is an artist who shows readers they can be artists, too. 1/3

@jessebeyer Congrats, Jesse!

[Jono @whoinvitedjon]

My kids don't like or dislike anything anymore - everything they see is either "satisfying" or "triggering"

[Jennifer Lavallee @acutelyjen]

Had a blast at #FCM2023AC 🎉 thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it such a well put together event.

Really love the book drive you do every year, too.
