Society Side Quest

Today Tracy and I had lunch at MR MIKES with the awesome guys from Red Deer Ironworks, and it was time well spent.
RDI is an energy services company that designs, builds, and services high‑ and low‑pressure flow control equipment, along with repair and recertification services that support oil and gas operations across our region.

We loved the chance to learn more about the work they do, share more about what we do, and enjoy a lot of laughs along the way.
Not only are they coming on as competitors in our upcoming Drills and Grills: Alberta’s Oilfield BBQ Cook-Off for a Cause, they are also stepping up as a community sponsor, and we truly appreciate that support.

Good food, great conversation, and even better people. Thanks for the lunch and the laughs, RDI.

Advance Care Planning is about taking time today to think about what matters most to you, your values, your wishes, and who you would want to speak for you if you were ever unable to speak for yourself.

It is not just for end of life. It is for anyone, at any age. Having these conversations early can ease stress for families, reduce uncertainty during medical situations, and ensure care aligns with what is truly important to you.

At Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we are proud to offer Advance Care Planning workshops to help individuals and families feel informed, supported, and empowered to have these conversations with confidence.

Yesterday, Lynette and Chris had the pleasure of being at Emerald Gardens, sharing information and having meaningful discussions about Advance Care Planning with residents and staff. These conversations truly make a difference.

If you or your organization are interested in hosting an Advance Care Planning workshop, we would love to connect. Taking a little time now can bring peace of mind for the future.

A heartfelt thank you to Betty Dyck 💛

Betty stopped by last week with a beautiful donation of handmade rice bags and pillowcases for Hospice, and we are so incredibly grateful. These thoughtful items bring comfort, warmth, and a sense of care to those who need it most.

It’s acts of kindness like this that truly make a difference in our community. Thank you, Betty, for your generosity and compassion — it means more than words can say. 🙂

Happy Easter from all of us at the Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society 💛

As many in our community mark Easter, we want to take a moment to wish you peace, comfort, and connection this season. For some, this day is rooted in faith. For others, it is a time of reflection, renewal, or simply being together.
Wherever you find meaning today, we hope it brings moments of warmth and gentleness.

We are grateful to walk alongside individuals, families, volunteers, and supporters of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions. Community is at the heart of what we do, and it is a privilege to be part of yours.

Wishing you a calm and caring Easter, from all of us.

Looking for a gentle Easter activity? 🌷

Try decorating simple paper egg cut‑outs using markers, crayons, or stickers. There is no right or wrong way, just a quiet moment to create, reflect, or connect.

This activity is designed to be calm, flexible, and easy to do at the bedside or in hospice. It can be done sitting up or lying down, for a few minutes or longer, whatever feels right. There is no need to finish.

Simple activities like this can bring comfort, spark conversation, and create meaningful moments together. It can be enjoyed quietly, shared with loved ones, or used as a moment of reflection.
The focus is not on the craft, but on comfort, presence, and connection.

💛 Sometimes, together is enough.

Good Friday Reflection 💛

Today is a day many people observe as Good Friday, while others simply see it as a quiet pause in the week. No matter how today is marked, it can be a meaningful moment to reflect on compassion, empathy, and how we show up for one another.

At the Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we work alongside individuals and families from many backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions. What connects us all is the shared human need for comfort, understanding, and presence during life’s most difficult moments.

Today, we honour reflection in all its forms.
We honour kindness without condition.

And we remain committed to supporting people with dignity and care, wherever they are on their journey.
💛 Holding space for our community, always.

Comfort can make a real difference.

One of the practical supports we offer through the Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society is our Sheepskin Loaner Program. These medical‑grade sheepskins are available free of charge to individuals living with a progressive, life‑limiting illness across Northwest Alberta.

Sheepskins help enhance comfort by reducing friction and pressure, supporting skin integrity, and offering warmth during long periods of rest. They can be used at home, in hospice, or during medical treatments such as cancer treatment, when comfort and skin care are especially important.

This program is part of our commitment to providing non‑medical, community‑based support that focuses on quality of life at any stage of illness, including alongside treatment.

If you or someone you care for could benefit, reach out.
Support does not have to wait.

💛 Because comfort matters.
