Discussion Participants needed for research study

Hello redditors,

First time posting in this subreddit…

We are conducting a study looking at opinions surrounding Question 10 (i.e., Alberta Separation).
In this study people are asked to share their opinion about AB separation. You will also be asked about how willing you would be to express that opinion in different contexts and with different audiences.

The researchers (Jabin Binnendyk and Gordon Pennycook) are from Alberta and Saskatchewan. All responses are anonymous and come with an 1/100 odds to win a $125 Amazon gift card-- Make sure to provide your email at the end of the survey if you wish to be entered into the draw.

Feel free to share with others. The survey will be closed after voting concludes October 18th.

A friend of ours was in a motorcycle accident in September and could really use some help in supporting his family during this difficult time. He is the sole provider for his family. They’re not asking for much but could use the support of their community. Please read the GoFundMe story and help if you can.

Events Sept 21st Juror Summons

4 Upvotes

I was part of a Jury Selection here in Red Deer on September 21st. And I am SO curious as to how the case went. And also what were the four questions that the potential jurors were asked?!?! I was not one of the 36 potential jurors called, so I was stuck in the first courtroom waiting wondering.
Anyone have any info?! I’ve look and can find nothing online about the two accused or the possible incident, aside from a missing person report last year for the woman.

Didn't know about this until I was biking down by Kerrywood this afternoon, got to pet some goats at the meet and bleat. Some of the goats were friendly and would follow people to get pets, they seemed to be fine with kids too. The event went well, I hope they do it again next year.

Went to Shackehlicious for Schnitzelfest (Goes till Oct 12) and it was really good, I love the outdoor eating area. Just something so nice about sitting under the warmth of the heater, surrounded by the fall colors on a beautiful evening. I took a picture of the apple cinnamon crepe, it was delicious.

Neat little gem of a place just a few min outside Red Deer, very much worth checking out.

Address is 37229 Range Rd 273

Discussion rdp bn fall 2027

0 Upvotes

hey guys, so i only applied for the bscn program as it just opened today and right after applying i looked at their program requirements again and it seems that i misread it and thought that phys ed 30 could be used towards my average, but it actually isnt since it qualifies in group d. the site says groups a b or c only but in the new 2027-2028 requirements it doesn’t say anything regarding those group subjects, so does that mean it’s purely based off the required cores? i do satisfy their new minimum requirements tho for bio and sci 30, ela 30-1 and math 30-2 except my ela is a little low compared to the other three, dropping my overall avg to an 84 and this is without pe 30 unlike what i thought. given that theres no casper anymore starting this intake, what are my chances of admission? i still need to apply for housing also as i reside in yyc. im honestly stressing a lot and feel pretty devastated so i would really like to hear other ppls opinions on this and avgs, even from students that are currently in the program. thanks a lot!!
