She also has chickens in her backyard, keeping her well-stocked with fresh eggs each morning! (fb)

We had the pleasure of meeting with Georges Laraque in our office this week ahead of the YWCA Edmonton Rose Campaign Launch Event on November 24 at Ford Hall. A former Edmonton Oiler, humanitarian, and advocate, Georges uses his voice to inspire change and show how healthy relationships and strong community connections can help break the cycle of violence. Join us on November 24 to learn more about Georges’ journey and meet him in person at this inspiring evening dedicated to ending gender-based violence. 🎟️ Tickets are still available — get yours today via the link https://www.universe.com/events/ywca-edmonton-2025-rose-campaign-launch-tickets-LJH6VS?ref=share-widget-buffer (fb)
