It's safe to announce this now. I've written a book on the Turcotte family of jockeys who all had a lot of triumphs but also a lot of tragedy. The book will be out next spring to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's Triple Crown.@cntymile @AlbertaTOBA @AlbertaHbpa

We are so grateful Maia is OK after her fall in the river valley - and have lots of treats for Brady! Great news that barricades are going up where the ground is unstable https://t.co/Rcy1bO6V0l

Congrats Curtis! Here’s hoping you can make it an even dozen

❤️ My romantic husband cloaked in a sportswriter’s jacket. When we got married my dad’s one piece of advice was there were few problems a little patience wouldn’t solve. And a lot of love.

[Curtis Stock @CurtisJStock]

Last night was New Year's Eve and my wife and my best friend's 30th anniversary. Wouldn't have made it without her. Nobody has more patience. Love you so much dear.

@Bell_Support Help! I bought a new phone Friday with unlimited data plan. Just got a notification that I’m out of data & I’m boarding a plane to Europe in 20 mins. Dozens ahead of me in chat

@CurtisJStock Ahem

A close friend of our daughter has had her life turned upside down - a spinal AVM has left her unable to move from the chest down and she needs a machine to help breathe. Her aunts have started this GoFundMe so she can leave the rehab hospital & come home https://t.co/qETVpBb8Rl

I was lucky enough to work with Dennis and learn from him. He was such a big thinker. And always so very kind to me.

[Plant Protein Alliance of Alberta @PlantProteinAB]

We are very sad to let you know that our founding CEO, Dennis McKnight, died Aug. 20. Dennis was a visionary leader and driving force not just for PPAA but for the entire industry. He was a friend to many. Below is a video from an honourary award in Jan. https://t.co/sesURt7MXR

Many in Edmonton are mourning the loss of Chris Zdeb, a truly wonderful person, colleague and journalist, who devoted her life to telling stories and was wonderful at it. https://t.co/kRwPRrw0a9

[Barb Wilkinson @Wilkinson_Barb]

Chris was always, always kind. To absolutely everyone. Such very sad news

[Barb Wilkinson @Wilkinson_Barb]

We need to talk mental health everyday. Be kind, support each other, it’s OK to ask for help. #BellLetsTalk
