Digital Story Telling event coming to Red Deer County
(RED DEER COUNTY) – Red Deer County, Cows and Fish, Clearwater County, and the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance are co-hosting a storytelling event in Red Deer County on Monday, April 16 at the Crossroads Church building from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
The digital stories combine the art of storytelling and digital media to share individual connections to the land. The stories focus on stewardship of land and water, and are intended to educate and promote social change.
Ken Lewis, Red Deer County Conservation Coordinator, comments, “Connections between Central Albertans and the land run deep. These stories are about that connection, told in the words and pictures of the farmers, ranchers, and landowners themselves. We invite everyone to hear and see these stories.”
Also featured will be First Nations dancing and additional stories featuring landowner stewardship through the Alternative Land Use Services program. The group would like to thank EPCOR, ATCO, and the Government of Alberta for their generous financial support which made the storytelling workshop possible.
Editor’s note: The concepts outlined in this article are important and can be adapted to our current isolated lifestyle.
Health Basics was my Kick Start to a Healthier Weight
I am a retired nurse so I know quite a bit about living healthy. However over my last year of work, I had a sedentary job and I felt tired so I did not put as much energy into my own lifestyle and my weight crept up. I was getting a lot of heartburn and I knew weight loss and lifestyle are the first line treatment.
So, after I retired I asked my doctor to send me to Health Basics. It was good to go every week, to have to be accountable, to have others to discuss my choices with as well as to pick up on things from class that I had let slide. I went through the 8 week program and lost 9 pounds. As I know how important it is to continue living healthy and be accountable to myself, I rejoined TOPS which I was a member of a number of years ago. I also continued with exercise classes and yoga at the Golden Circle and now I am down 17 pounds just over 4 months after I started down this path. I am feeling great: stronger, fitter and I have almost no heartburn. Health Basics has helped me to enjoy retirement!”
PS: “I knew Health Basics is a great kick start on healthy living as my husband had attended it years ago when he was diagnosed with diabetes. He followed the class recommendations and has lost more than 75 pounds over the years and feels great too.”
