@YourAlberta @CMOH_Alberta Thank you for correcting and confirming that is false. You can see where it was edited by someone with the colour difference and anyone that follows the press conferences regularly would know. It’s a sad day when people are spreading false information at such a critical time

@debjames10 @redcrosscanada I’m shocked and saddened to read this today. I have so many amazing memories of working in Ottawa with Donna and Deployments we had together. My heart is breaking for all that knew and loved her. My condolences to Donna’s family and loved ones and her @redcrosscanada family.

@KatieLBalfe Such a great idea and important topic. Definitely a long year for EM folks and you’re right, besides EAP there is nothing structured for EM practitioners that aren’t first responders #thankyou #peersupport #yourenotalone #emergencymanagement

@CarrieADoll @1RobWilliams @staceybrotzel @ctvedmonton Very shocked and saddened to hear this. I wondered where they went as it’s not normal for both to be gone at same time. Not sure I will continue watching @ctvedmonton with all of the sudden changes #disappointing . @1RobWilliams @staceybrotzel you will be missed immensely!
