Hello Grande Prairie Businesses and Services,
We wanted to take a moment of your time to ask if you would join us in an initiative that we are putting on across our community, the ‘
No Wrong Door
’ campaign. With increases in domestic violence incidences across the globe expected during and post COVID-19, the domestic and sexual violence sectors are exploring how to create opportunities for safe spaces for those impacted and initiatives to allow individuals to connect with supports and services within their communities through formal and informal services.
The “
No Wrong Door
” campaign is aimed at all Albertans with special emphasis on essential services and those who are accessible within communities currently. This initiative would comprise of putting up a simple poster that has phone numbers linking to 24hr local and regionally specific domestic violence supports and services.
Our goal with this campaign is to inform our community that
Odyssey House
is still open during this pandemic, and our services are still available to people if they need it. By sharing our poster and placing it in an accessible location to customers and staff, your organization is collectively sharing very important information about a service that someone may need.
Attached is the poster, we ask you print it out, and place around the workplace in areas you think would be appropriate.
Thank you so much for your time, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Stay Safe

JOB SEEKER WEBINAR - Take 2
People are being laid off and downsized at a rapid pace. The unemployment rate has reached an all time high.
If the virus wasn’t scary enough, being out of work (or worried about being out of work) has taken things to a new level.
I thought I could help.
I launched a 4-part webinar series on April 21
st
, called “
Top Recruiter Tuesday’s. Job Searching During A Pandemic.”
With 2 days of marketing, my first session had 84 attendees. The sessions on April 28, May 5
th
and May 12
all sold out within hours of being posted!
Attendees were from across Canada, the USA, Germany, France and even Bermuda!
Each webinar was 30 minutes. 20 minutes of action-packed content, followed by a few questions. I loved the feedback:
“I love your webinars. Short, sweet and packed full of flavour!”
I’m re-running the recorded free series starting on June 2
nd.
The first session is all about the foundation of a great resume….and
some BIG resume blunders than can send your resume straight to the recycle bin.
If you know of anyone searching for work, here’s the link to register:

And, I’m working on an
advanced level
webinar series that I’ll launch in June. Stay tuned!!

All the Wild Horses
(14+ Coarse Language) presented by High Moon Equine & Canine Sports Therapy – an adventure documentary about the Mongol Derby that takes viewers on a wild ride, from a dramatic start with casualties medivaced off the field to an unexpected, nail-biting finish. Spanning a network of 28 horse stations across 1000 km of Mongolian wilderness over 8 days, Director Ivo Marloh rode the complete race twice in order to film the action first-hand and to find out what compels riders to face such arduous risks on the backs of wild horses in one of the last true wildernesses on Earth.
Free Lunch Society
(5+) presented by Pizza Hut – a globe-trotting documentary that looks at the surprising history of a concept that, to some, seems like an idealistic fantasy: "What would you do if your income were taken care of?" Inspired by Star Trek’s utopian vision of a future without need, Austrian Director Christian Tod finds the concept of unconditional basic income to be more reality than science fiction, an idea which has garnered intense discussions in all political and scientific camps. Are we ready for a free lunch society?
Ballet Now
(14+ Coarse Language) presented by Beauchamp Photography – an inspiring documentary that follows New York City Ballet's Principal Dancer Tiler Beck as she creates a one-of-a-kind dance extravaganza for The Music Center's famed BalletNOW program. As she tries to execute her vision of mashing together the worlds of tap, hip-hop, ballet and even clown artistry, Tiler faces the mounting pressures of not only dancing in multiple pieces, but also directing this high profile event. With only a few days of rehearsal, can she pull it off?
Beyond Moving
(10+) presented by PRIMAA (Peace Region Independent Media Arts Association) – an uplifting documentary that follows rising ballet star Siphe (Siphesihle) November on his remarkable journey from his small township in South Africa, where he was discovered as a young boy dancing with his brothers, to his move at age eleven to train at Canada's National Ballet School. As he visits his childhood home after graduating, he reflects on where he came from and what lies ahead as he enters the world of professional ballet.
The Booksellers
(rated PG) - presented by Grant Berg Gallery – a captivating documentary about the New York rare book world and the fascinating people who inhabit it.

This Is Not a Movie
