City continues to seek vaccination for all firefighters
Poll
Yes
An off-again on-again effort to get firefighters vaccinated in Medicine Hat is moving forward, say local officials who report few of the same problems cropping up elsewhere in the province.
That includes complaints that Alberta Health Services and some pharmacy clinics aren’t always accepting letters proving employment as medical first responder, as required by the Alberta Ministry of Health.
“We did issue letters to all of our suppression members,” said Medicine Hat Fire Service Chief Brian Stauth. “There’s been some mixed results, but there’s also a lot of positive commentary from across the province.”
Subsidy program available to assist with suicide bereavement counselling
Poll
Looks great
A subsidy program has been announced to assist southeastern Albertans with suicide bereavement counselling.
The Canadian Mental Health Association of Alberta Southeast Region says the program provides support for family members and friends who have suffered a loss due to a death by suicide.
The funding was provided through Alberta Ministry of Health to the Coordinated Community Response to Suicide Program.
Asking for help can sometimes be difficult and financial constraints can be a deterrent. CMHA ASER wants to help remove this barrier so family and friends who need the support can access it without financial concern.
