Red Rose Campaign raises awareness of family violence

IMG 9867

November is Family Violence Prevention Month in Alberta, and the Big Country Anti-Violence Association (BCAVA) and volunteers marked the occasion with the annual Red Rose Campaign. On Tuesday afternoon, November 3, they hit the street delivering roses to businesses in the area to raise awareness of domestic violence. Once again, the campaign was supported by sponsors Home-Town Realty, which provided a donation to purchase the flowers from Freson Bros. At the presentation are (l-r) Kelly Boyko, Janelle Storch, Susan Kolenz, and Joe Castonguay of Home-Town Realty presenting to president of BCAVA, Kandance Wylie-Toews, Kristi Murphy of BCAVA,  Joanne Geldart of Grace House, Cora Bolt of BCAVA, and Deanne Walker of the Town of Drumheller.

Staff Sergeant Edmond Bourque of the Drumheller RCMP detachment would like to hear from local community members in the Drumheller RCMP detachment area who may have any comments and/or concerns about policing issues in the following geographic areas:
Town of Drumheller, communities of Aerial, Beynon, Cambria, Carbon, Dalum, Delia, Dorothy, Dunphy, East Coulee, Hesketh, Kirkpatrick, Little Fish Lake, Michichi, Morrin, Munson, Nacmine, Redland, Rosebud, Rosedale, Rowley, Rumsey, Scollard, Sharples, Taylor Siding, Trefoil, Verdant Valley and Wayne, and Counties of Kneehill, Starland, Wheatland, and Stettler.
Normally, a series of town hall meetings would have been held in local community halls; however, due to the current state of the pandemic, public gatherings are not an option.
As a result, for a two week period from Monday, November 2, 2020, until Friday, November 13, 2020, SSgt. Bourque will be accepting input from community members through either regular mail or email. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to SSgt. Bourque at:
Drumheller RCMP, P.O. Box 1030, Drumheller, AB T0J 0Y0
or
email: KDrumhellerservices@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
Once the date closes, SSgt. Bourque will review all correspondence received.
Later in November, SSgt. Bourque will respond to the top 10 issues and concerns as presented and publish his responses in the aforementioned communities’ web pages and mail outs.
SSgt. Bourque would like to, “Thank everyone in advance for taking the time to work together during this challenging time to identify your concerns.”
