Helping families in Haiti
This exerpt was taken from a letter that was sent our way by the St. Albert Chamber of Commerce.
For those looking for guidance on the best way to help families in Haiti - you may find this helpful.
"The fastest and most effective way to help is by donating money to the relief organizations that have the knowledge and infrastructure to deliver assistance where it’s needed most. A list of those organizations is available on the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Department’s web site at this address: http://www.international.gc.ca/humanitarian-humanitaire/canadians_help-aide_canadien.aspx. For its part, the federal government is earmarking up to $50 million to match Canadians' donations to charities aiding relief efforts in Haiti.

SASA Boys U18 Community St. Albert (Kennedy) were successful in winning the Silver Medal in 2009 Value Drug Mart Polar Cup played Dec.27 through to Dec.30. There were 8 teams and 2 groups A & B. "We played our first three games in group B and managed to win each game by 1 goal difference which created quite a buzz with the parents who really enjoyed this nail biting experience. We crossed over for the Gold medal competition only to meet a much stronger team from a higher tier and giving it our very best, it was not good enough and we had to settle for the Silver Medal and a party at Boston Pizza. Great experience and good time." |

St. Albert U-12 Girls Tier 2 Impact Soccer Team
The girls team participated on November 11th 2009, in the SOS THE AMERICAS torch relay which goes from Alaska to Argentina. It will finish in 2011. The torch is being carried from city to city to bring a higher awareness for organ and tissue donation. The organizer of the event is a recipient himself and hopes one day that no one will have to be on a waiting list for organ or tissue transplants. Our girls ran from Edmonton City Hall, after meeting Mayor Mandel, to the Legislative Grounds taking turns holding the Torch of Life.
The parents, coaches, Mayor Mandel and organizers were very impressed with the girls for being so enthusiastic and willingly participating in a worthwhile cause. The girls created posters and a cheer to use during their run.
Way to go girls!!
