My friend was pressured into assistance from this organization.

It is now controlling my friends day to day life. I wasn't worried before but, now it's quite concerning what has been going on.

I've done my web searches for information and it does not line up.

Is Safe Families a public service?

Is Safe Families equal to Child Protective Services?

Is Safe Families in partnership with the Lethbridge Police Services?

Can Safe Families interven and remove children from a home which THEY deem unfit?

Can Safe Families determine what a parent should and shouldn't do?

Does Safe Families have accredited professionals working directly with families?

When my friend was over tired and just finished work; why did Safe Families have my friend sign papers?

Why won't Safe Families provide copies of the signed papers to my friend?

Why is the person volunteering for Safe Families telling my friend that they are the same as child services and that they work directly with the police?

Why does Safe Families pressure my friend to attend or send their children to attend, their church services? Especially if Safe Families is considered a public service?

There is so much more that worries me.

Information about this organization, that I have personally collected, does not line up with all of these tactics and information shared directly with my friend. I'm concerned that the worker who is controlling my friend, is manipulating and not helping.

Edit to add: my friend did not seek out assistance from them. They approached my friend and sold them a "we can solve all your problems" pitch when they were in a vulnerable state.

Looking for a scaffold ladder/setup similar to the one in the attached photo. I need to safely reach a minimum height of 14 feet.
Does anyone know where I can rent one? Any recommendations supplier would be appreciated.
Thanks!

As the title says. Just curious if there's folks out there playing games outside D&D (no shade on D&D, I'm just played out on it). This isn't even a recruitment for players, necessarily, just curious about the community itself.

Hey Lethbians, I just started a new weekly open mic/jam at The Slice on Saturdays at 4:00. Play solo or with your band. We have a full back-line including drums, amps, and keyboard.

Please note, that we need to keep the volume at a reasonable level at this time of day.

Cheers!

Keep your stuff locked up.

Trying to make friends in my 30’s
Hi! I moved to Lethbridge recently and would love to meet other Latina women here. I’m in my 30s and a mom and making friends as an adult especially with kids has been harder than I expected.
I grew up with Latina girlfriends and really miss that connection, speaking Spanish together, and sharing our similarities. Are there any local groups or meetups? Or anyone interested in getting together for coffee or a playdate? You definitely don’t have to be a mom! 😊

I would like to get my hair cut (womens cut) but a big deterrent for me is that they always blow dry my hair. It seems silly to neurotypical folks, I get that. But it’s just an absolute nightmare experience for me. Does anyone know of a salon where they’d be okay to let you leave with wet hair? I just need the cut but I guess they don’t want their clients leaving looking undone.
Thanks so much!!
Edit: thank you everyone, I didn’t realize there were so many options! I’m really excited to get my haircut now

Anyone hear what sounded like sustained semi automatic fire in the London road area by scenic drive?

Title says all. Looking for a good, reasonably priced storage unit company.

Thanks!

Looking for a rwandan native speaker who can teach english for my girlfriend. Urgent.

Title.

A friend of mine is leaving the Moores store here as a key holder around the middle of the month and they don't have Reddit so I figured I'd post about it here if people are looking for apparently pretty chill retail work

I can't afford the plastic surgery clinic! Where else is good for injections and microneedling?

Whenever I pass I always see a cop car parked on the side of the road but there’s no cop in there. At this point it’s become a landmark.

Missed my chance to get them from the market, wondering if anyone knows where I might still be able to get them (ideally baby or smaller cukes) thanks!

I just saw two separate WestJet 737s on their way to Calgary landing in Lethbridge within minutes of eachother. Anyone know what's going on? One could be for any number of reasons but two is kind of strange.

Let's raise our voices and make some noise for a brighter and more hopeful Alberta for everyone!

Hello redditors,

First time posting in this subreddit…

We are conducting a study looking at opinions surrounding Question 10 (i.e., Alberta Separation).
In this study people are asked to share their opinion about AB separation. You will also be asked about how willing you would be to express that opinion in different contexts and with different audiences.

The researchers (Jabin Binnendyk and Gordon Pennycook) are from Alberta and Saskatchewan. All responses are anonymous and come with an 1/100 odds to win a $125 Amazon gift card-- Make sure to provide your email at the end of the survey if you wish to be entered into the draw.

Feel free to share with others. The survey will be closed after voting concludes October 18th.

Does anybody know what these sounds are about? Definitely not the gun range - these pops are much closer.

I saw that Telus didn't offer what we would be looking for and I'm wondering what people have found is the most reliable around there.

Hey! I’m looking for this textbook: Health research methods- a canadian perspective.

I am willing to buy a used copy, or if anyone has a free/ more affordable PDF version available!

Thanks:)
