Sparrows are small, typically brown songbirds with surprisingly rich, musical songs. In southern #Alberta, many are grassland specialists, nesting on or near the ground and relying on native prairie. Turn up your volume and listen to their distinct songs! #worldsparrowday

💯! "If billions are added to the [health care] system, outcomes should improve in visible, measurable ways. If they are not improving, then we must ask why. Because from where many of us stand, the apples keep disappearing—& we never got to eat them." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

"Two-tier health care is against the Canada Health Act. It means the departure from a health system based on medical need and not the ability to pay.. It will encourage doctors and for-profit facilities to charge patients for faster access to care.." ipolitics.ca/2026/03/19/car…

While coyotes often claim the open trails, the red fox lives a quieter life in the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Shy and elusive, they stick to “edge” habitats where forest meets open space, relying on dense cover to stay hidden through winter.

After healing from injury or illness, recovering patients must prepare for life back in the wild. Reconditioning skills like climbing and flying is all part of their journey. Watch these wild patients, from curious #foxes to a swift #FlyingSquirrel: youtu.be/FlKHEtZoU5Y
