The royalties for the Secrets novels have arrived with 100% being donated to Mamas for Mamas. Mamas for Mamas is a national charitable organization that supports mothers and caregivers in crisis by providing ongoing support to individuals and families facing various poverty-related struggles. Our mission is to change the landscape of poverty through innovative approaches to financial barriers faced by struggling families. While our name is Mamas for Mamas, we welcome caregivers of any gender identity or expression, including men, trans*, non-binary, and two-spirit clients. We envision a future where no Mama or child is left behind. The most recent statistics from Citizens for Public Justice reports that a staggering 5.8 million people in Canada (or 16.8%) live in poverty ( https://cpj.ca/poverty-trends-2018/)(https://cpj.ca/poverty-trends-2018/). We are committed to giving a hand up, not just a hand out to those struggling by providing them with essential needs. We are actively engaging with multiple levels of government and non-profit agencies; together we are working to change the systems that contribute to the vicious cycle of poverty, mental health issues, housing, and food insecurity and have recently expanded digitally across Canada. Photos courtesy of Unsplash We provide a space where our Mamas and their kids feel safe and comfortable when they come in for poverty relief support. We refer to all existing community programs when available and fill the gaps in service when the need is higher than the resources available. Unfortunately, this is often the case, as evidenced by the need for our rapid program development. We offer a beautiful Karma Market where struggling families can access anything they need at no cost; the only currency we request is, kindness to your fellow neighbour. In our free store, we provide clothing, shoes, seasonal wear, and through our intake process Mamas can also access formula, diapers, baby furniture, and gear. We also offer individualized help navigating the available resources for food security, affordable housing, education, and access to our in-house mental health team where counselling is available at no cost for those who qualify. Community-based sharing economies are available for families, with a resource coordinator available for preventative and intervention based poverty relief. It’s hard enough being a parent without the stress of clothing or food insecurity, lack of appropriate mental health care, and everything else that can easily fall through the cracks in our busy society. Mamas for Mamas is there for those parents who need help navigating eligible resources, applying for social supports, and getting direct intake support while joining this Mamas community that genuinely looks after each other.

Congratulations Anne-Marie on earning your Masters of Arts and all the accolades that accompany the accomplishment!! "It was a proud and exciting day on Friday, Nov. 17 as I joined my classmates, and one by one our names were called as we each walked across the stage at Royal Roads University to receive our Master of Arts in Professional Communication degrees! It was two years filled with hard work, sacrifice, growth, and more learning than I had ever imagined, to reach this point. I did not embark on this journey alone - I could not have done this without the love, support, and understanding of my family. Thank you for your sacrifices and belief in me. 💗🙏 I was asked to provide one piece of advice to new or future learners as I departed the campus on Friday. My advice was “Remember why you started”. I learned that there will be days when it feels impossible to get everything done, when there will be people trying to stand in your way and discourage you, when you will question whether all of the sacrifices and hard work are even worth it in the end…I promise you it is. Education is an achievement that no one can take away from us. It is a gift that equips us with the skills and knowledge to go forth and create positive change wherever we find ourselves. Education provides us with the experience and understanding to make the world a better place than we found it. If you have a goal or dream, pursue it. YOU are the person who determines what you are capable of. Thank you to Royal Roads University and my awe-inspiring classmates for two years of incredible learning opportunities and experiences." 🙏🙏 Post and photo by Anne-Marie Clark

4 A.M. Kamloops, British Columbia RCMP Members dropped the net on South Sahali and surrounding area after receiving a 9-1-1 call alerting them to a broken window at a Summit Square business. The first Member arrived within seconds and others could be seen patrolling the area searching for the suspect believed to be responsible for a number of B&E's in the area. I refer to the tactic as Dropping the Net as I've participated in numerous such incidents with the RCMP's Rural Crime Watch system; deploying a spike belt, blocking a fleeing suspect's vehicle at a gas station as a Member pulled in front of the suspect's car, offering logistics to Members of their suspect's whereabouts as they bailed and hit the bush, responding to numerous rural alarms, tracking thieves until Members arrived, locating rural training areas for ERT, pushing an empty stroller along a rural road while photographing suspected drug houses and assisting in traffic control during a violent rain storm. Urban Members may think a citizen's involvement in this manner unorthodox but when you consider some detachment's jurisdiction is close to 100,000 sq. km, the Rural Crime Watch system is invaluable. Coming Soon! Women Law Enforcers Investigating Luxury Secrets Gustafsson was an established and wealthy family whose ancestors immigrated from Norway decades previously and built a financial empire from modest beginnings…the fortune acquired on the backs of Chinese laborers in the eighteen hundreds. ​ Although long gone, their legacy for acquiring the finer things in life was inherited by their great granddaughter, Adriana, who simultaneously rejected the means by which they amassed their possessions. ​ The disdain for her family, its wealth and heritage developed during a grade eleven high school World History class where a discussion revolved around British Columbia’s 1800’s era. ​ Adriana was unable to extricate herself from the shame her family created. She completed high school then left immediately for the University of Zurich where she remained for six years. The Vancouverite used her social position and Israeli cunningness to steal multi-million dollar treasures from those in her family’s social circle.   100% of the revenue from the stolen merchandise was deposited into an anonymous Swiss bank account which executed her anonymous bank transfers to charities, children’s and teenager support groups, women’s resource, and sexual assault centers. ​ Rebecca Simpson and her partner, Dr. Penelope Barker relocated their investigative business from Santa Barbara, Ca. to Vancouver where they were soon retained by an insurance company to locate a stolen two million dollar Porsche.   Their former colleague Jessica Fukishura relocated her legal practice from Santa Barbara, California to Vancouver and through the benefit of her lucrative retirement income, she is installed as the in-house attorney for the Women’s Centre with zero cost to clients or the Centre.   Vancouver Police officers Treena Barton and Charli Gagnon investigate the professional theft of the Porsche and mid-six figures diamond necklace from a West Vancouver resident.

" [Mayor] Locke said she has no plans to back down on her policing promise." The Surrey Police Union, which represents municipal officers, issued a statement embracing the appointment of an administrator while also thanking the board. "The time has come for this policing transition to be expedited with a more streamlined process that will allow all parties to work towards the completion of the project," board president Rick Stewart wrote. Our thanks to CTV for the photo "In September, the board issued a statement rebuking Locke for public statements where she said she did not have confidence in the Surrey Police Service's chief constable, or the board itself." "The focus of the board is on moving this project forward in a manner that is productive and respectful. From this perspective, the Board finds Mayor Locke’s comments extremely disappointing. The board will continue to fully support Chief Lipinski and his team in their efforts to achieve police of jurisdiction status," the board's executive director wrote. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/surrey-s-police-board-suspended-as-b-c-pushes-forward-with-ciy-s-policing-transition-1.6648686 Brenda Locke won the mayoral election by 973 votes.

Do some use of force policies jeopardize Members, restricting the appropriate suspect control response? 2017 Qualicum police shooting, officers cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. I taught suspect control to Seattle Police officers and King County Deputy Sheriffs and the defensive tactics these officers acquired were unlimited. I trained with several British Columbia police departments and in many of them Mounties were denied participation because the Force didn't approve of the defensive tactics taught. https://www.cheknews.ca/coroners-inquest-into-2017-police-shooting-near-qualicum-beach-wraps-1177021/ Coroner's inquest offered the following seven recommendations. 1. Recommendation that inquests be held in a timely manner/as soon as possible following a death. 2. Recommendation that improved communication and clarity be established around criteria for restraint use for person at risk for harm to self or others, in order to transport to an appropriate facility. 3. Recommendation to expand inclusion of a mental health clinician on RCMP mental health calls provincewide. 4. Recommendation is to encourage increased use of tasers as a non-lethal alternative to other methods or tools for control of a person. 5. Recommendation for RCMO to receive annual crisis intervention and de-escalation training. 6. Recommendation is for all physicians in B.C., particularly those in institutional settings, such as emergency rooms, to have enhanced training in sensitivity to, and treatment of, the symptoms of various mental illnesses in patients. 7. Recommendation is for the 911 call takers to request a caller to stop their vehicle instead of allowing the caller to continue to travel while in distress or in potential harm’s way.

My roomate was from Dublin, Ireland and an avid Irish Republican Army-IRA-supporter who believed in the total elimination of British from Ireland. He was joyous when the IRA launched attacks in Britain. The IRA colluded with the Nazi's during the Second World War supporting an effort to land German soldiers on the west coast of Ireland to concur the Irish and move across The Irish Sea and take Britain. There was a religious irony in that the IRA was Catholic attempting to eliminate Protestant Northern Ireland. Both Christian.
