It is with grief I announce the passing of my father, Dr. Russ Fleming. He leaves behind not only his family but also a legacy, having spent over 40 years as a psychiatrist at the Waypoint Centre, helping those with mental health issues and addictions. I love you, dad. I miss you
Our community is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Carol Leigh.
Over five decades of revolutionary activism, she was instrumental in shaping the modern SW rights movement - including coining the term "sex work", in recognition and respect of our agency.

A huge event is happening in #yeg re: Unmarked Burials & Missing Indigenous Children who attended residential schools. These gatherings will be happening over 2 yrs. Former President of International Criminal Court is here, speaking soon. Canada will be held accountable
It’s bonkers that it is “radical” to approach homelessness as a housing issue. Poor people need more money. Unhoused people need housing. If a cat can understand this stuff why do we elect people who don’t get it?? C’mon
