Staff Spotlight: Meet Karen
Karen is our Community Support Worker Team Lead and a bright light at Thorpe Recovery Centre.

She’s a morning person through and through, fueled by coffee and a love for helping others grow. Her favourite things? The colour green, pasta, chocolate, and sweet over salty every time.

Karen shares her life with 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a herd of 15 mini horses – yes, 15!

When we asked her what drives her work, she shared:
“I enjoy seeing people succeed and become a better version of themselves.”

Thank you, Karen, for the care, compassion, and energy you bring to the team.

September 30 is International Recovery Day, a global celebration of hope, healing, and the strength it takes to recover.

Today we honour those who have found their path, those still searching, and those supporting loved ones in recovery. You are seen, you are valued, and your journey matters.

Let’s continue breaking down barriers, sharing stories, and building a world where recovery is always within reach.

Last week, our community came together to run, walk, and raise awareness for mental health. The “Cameco Step Up for Mental Health” run was more than just a race – it was a moment of connection, support, and strength.

A huge thank you to the Lloydminster Run Club for helping bring this event to life. Your energy, coordination, and volunteer efforts made a world of difference. We are so grateful for your continued support in creating events that bring our community together for a cause that matters.

Let’s keep stepping forward, together.

Celebrating 50 Years of Recovery and Community

This October marks 50 years since Thorpe Recovery Centre first opened its doors.

What started in 1975 as a two-bed detox unit has grown into a centre that supports individuals and families from across the Prairies through detox, treatment, continuing care, and more. The journey began with the vision of the Lloydminster Hospital Board, support from both Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the commitment of local AA members like Slim Thorpe and Ron Harris Sr.

Five decades later, our mission remains the same – to walk beside people as they heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.

Join us in honouring this milestone.

Recovery doesn’t end after detox or treatment. It’s an ongoing process that thrives on connection, structure, and support.

That’s why we offer programs like Continuing Care and our Family Program to keep the momentum going even after clients leave our building.

This month, and every month, we walk alongside you.

How we talk about addiction and recovery makes a difference. Using compassionate, non-stigmatizing language helps create safer spaces for people to heal.

Instead of "addict" or "ju**ie," try “person in recovery” or “person living with a substance use disorder.”

Recovery Month is a great time to reflect on the words we use and the impact they carry. Let’s build each other up with language that respects, humanizes, and empowers.
