EDMONTON YMCAs REACH OUT TO
FORT McMURRAY
This article was submitted by Neil Chymko, a Director on the Board
of the Castle Downs Recreation Society (CDRS).
Introductory Note
Castle Downs is home to the Castle Downs Family YMCA. Our Y
is part of the YMCA of Northern Alberta that has facilities and runs
programs in Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray.
The CDRS has a long history and relationship with the YMCA
going back to the early 1990s. That’s when the two organizations
started working to bring a Family YMCA to the Castle Downs
area. The Family Y opened in 1998 and is a tremendous asset to the
Castle Downs area and beyond. We continue our close relationship
with the YMCA.
The Fire in Fort McMurray
In May Albertans and Canadians witnessed a destructive forest fire
that forced the evacuation of all the residents of the City of Fort
Murray. The damage to Fort McMurray is staggering with the loss
of homes, businesses and the infrastructure that supports a city. The
full extent of the damage has yet to be assessed. The human and
social impact is unprecedented. Over 80,000 people had to leave the
city in a few days under an Mandatory Evacuation Order issued on
May 2nd by the province. It will be a long road to recovery.
Closure of YMCA Facilities in Fort McMurray
On the day the order was issued, the Fort McMurray YMCA had to
close all its facilities. This included seven Child Care locations, the
Westwood Family YMCA, the Community Program Offices and the
Eagle Ridge Community Centre. The Fort McMurray staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism during the evacuation, ensuring
that all children and youth in their care were quickly united with
their families.
The condition of the YMCA facilities and program sites is being assessed. All facilities, programs and services will remain closed until
the mandatory evacuation has been lifted. A senior management
team will monitor and assess the situation and will communicate
plans regarding the re-opening of facilities, programs and services.
Shortly after the emergency started, Nick Parkinson, CEO of the
YMCA of Northern Alberta, issued a statement around the emergency. He noted that the Y had been inundated with offers of assistance
and donations. The YMCA was extremely appreciative and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and encouragement. He went
on to explain the Y would not be accepting donations to support any
YMCA relief efforts in Wood Buffalo.
This was because the YMCA’s role in disasters such as this is to
help rebuild the social fabric of the community once the immediate

crisis has been resolved. It was too early to know how
YMCA facilities and operations had been affected or what
the Y’s role in assisting in redevelopment efforts in the
community may look like. People who wanted to donate to
the immediate relief efforts were asked to consider donating
to the Red Cross.
Retroactive to May 1st, The YMCA is refunding all payments made by Wood Buffalo/Fort McMurray YMCA
Members and Child Care facilities. Any further payments
will not be taken until the YMCA is operational and a
resumption of services has occurred. Even though Wood
Buffalo payments have been suspended during the crisis,
Wood Buffalo YMCA memberships remain valid throughout Canada.
Edmonton YMCA Support to People Who
Had to Leave Fort McMurray
The scale of the evacuation of people and families who have left Fort McMurray is staggering.
It is the largest evacuation emergency in the
history of Alberta and Canada.
Tens of thousands of people have arrived in
Edmonton. They need a tremendous amount of
assistance in many many ways such as housing,
clothing, financial support, and referral to agencies that can assist them.

Continued from page 1
The YMCAs in Edmonton stepped up to help these people
and families in several ways:
•
People, families and kids who have been uprooted
are being treated as members of the YMCA at no cost.
They have free access to facilities and programs including
showers, drop-in programs, play care for their children, or
swim time with the family.
•
People are being helped through the Y’s knowledge of support programs and services in Edmonton.
Families can feel “lost” as to where they can go for assistance. They YMCAs are saying “We can help you this way
and here are other agencies” or “We can investigate this for
you and find out where you can go.”
In addition to the YMCAs in Edmonton (Castle Downs,
Jamie Platz, William Lutsky and Don Wheaton), all the
YMCAs in Alberta – Calgary YMCA, Medicine Hat
YMCA and the Lethbridge YMCA – have opened the doors
of their Health, Fitness and Aquatic Centres to any Wood
Buffalo resident and their families displaced by the fires.
Rebuilding the Community of Fort McMurray
The YMCA of Northern Alberta will play a strong role to
help rebuild the “social fabric” of the community. The Senior Leadership will develop a plan for this. A first priority
is to get the YMCA’s facilities back up and running. Community centres will once again offer programs and services,
as well as access to resources.
There will be many “cash strapped” people and families
in Fort McMurray. The YMCA has a philosophy that “No
one is turned away from the YMCA because of the inability
to pay.” This is a huge commitment on their part.
The recovery of Fort McMurray will take a long time –
many years – the YMCA will be there.
A Story from the Castle Downs Family YMCA
Karen Neff, Manager of the Castle Downs YMCA, shared
the following story of one family who fled Fort McMurray.
“I answered the phone and heard a woman’s voice on the
line and a baby in the back ground. She asked if I knew
where she could find a home to stay in. She expressed that
she was an evacuee from Fort McMurray and had stayed at
the Expo Centre last night along with her 5 family members including a new born.
They had been driving around the city looking for a place
to stay as no one had any sleep the night before with all the
noise and children crying. I was able to learn that it was
their first time in Edmonton and she felt completely lost.
They only had one phone without data. I invited her to
come to the YMCA for a shower, free access to the facility
and either a computer or WIFI connection. I also directed
her to the Facebook page for the Fort McMurray Evacuation Relocation Help Group and additional recourses. This
is only one call of many.”
The Castle Downs Recreation Society
would like to express
its appreciation to the Castle Downs Family YMCA
and the
YMCA of Northern Alberta for their tremendous support
to the people and community of Fort McMurray.

Ergonomics: How to Sit at Your Desk
We can’t avoid sitting. Whether we’re at work crunching numbers in a spreadsheet, or doing computer work at home, we
need to sit. We wanted to put together some recommendations on key principles of good sitting posture which will help
to reduce strain on your body.
There is one caveat before we dive in though: Regardless of how good your ergonomics is, you need to avoid prolonged
sitting. Getting up regularly (every 30-45 minutes) and doing a different activity will reduce the negative effects of sitting
for too long. There’s been a lot of research lately that has shown the deleterious effects of too much sitting.
Key Sitting Posture Strategies:
We’ve put together some key principles to remember when you’re sitting at a desk which will help you to reduce strain
on your joints and muscles:
Chair Setup
1. Your feet should rest comfortably on the floor. If this is a challenge, use a foot rest or a small stool to help.
2. Keep your knees level with your hips.
3. Scoot your bum to the back of the chair and keep your natural low back curve. If your seat doesn’t have a lumbar support, use a cushion or small towel to help.
Mouse and Keyboard Positioning
1. Keep your mouse within easy reach of your keyboard.
2. Ensure that your wrists are in a natural and comfortable position. If needed, use a wrist support to give your wrists a
break, but remember this support should only be used during a break and not while actively typing.
3. When typing keep your wrists relaxed and avoid bending your wrists out to the side.
4. Elbows should stay at a right angle (90°) and can be supported by resting on the desk or on the armrests of your chair.
Monitor Setup
1. Use a monitor arm or mount to properly
adjust the height of the monitor so it is at
eye level
2. Maintain a slight chin tuck position to
help maintain good neck alignment.
3. Try to avoid having your monitor off
to the side, but rather swivel your chair to
look at your material.
Telephone Use
1. Use a headset rather than cradling
the phone between your head, neck and
shoulder. This cradling can overwork
these muscles, resulting in headaches and
muscle strain.
Office Supplies:
1. Keep the telephone, stapler and other
supplies close to your body to limit over
reaching or stretching.
2. If a file or object is out of reach make
sure to stand-up. This will help to avoid
unnecessary strain.
Standing Desks
With the new awareness of the perils of
too much sitting, there’s been much interest in adjustable standing desks. Although
more costly than traditional desks, standing desks can help you to change your
work position throughout the day. They
can also support improved blood circulation to the lower body. But it’s important
to remember that even with standing
desks, you can end up standing for longer
periods of time which can also lead to
postural strain. So we come back to our
initial caveat which is to move often
throughout the day.

As the wildfire in Fort McMurray continues to cause devastating damage
to the area, many Fort McMurray residents have had to flee to Edmonton. The response has been of overwhelming support for those who
have been displaced, and to say that the compassion shown by citizens
has been awe-inspiring is an understatement.
I had the privilege of participating in a pancake breakfast that was organized by EEDC as a fundraiser for the displaced persons of Fort McMurray. The event was organized in one day, and the turnout was exceptional. It made me proud of our city to see so many individuals donating
their time, money, and skills to help our neighbours from up north. Since
the fires forced thousands of people to leave their homes, Edmontonians
have risen to the challenge, and there are hundreds of stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help.
There are still plenty of opportunities to help those who have been
displaced. The Edmonton Emergency Relief Centre is still taking volunteers, donations can be made to the Red Cross or the Foodbank; people
are still looking for accommodations, or even taking in a citizen’s pet
while they are getting settled. The Edmonton Humane Society is also
taking donations for pet food. No act is too small or insignificant, and I
encourage everyone to help out in whatever capacity they are capable
Fort McMurray residents have been an important part of Alberta, and
they have a fantastic history of doing what they can to help others.
Message from
These people have been incredibly generous with what they have,
Dave Loken
they have worked hard to make Alberta the prosperous place that it
is, and they have accepted people into their community from all over City Councillor Ward 3
Canada¬—and the world—with friendliness and grace. It is unfortunate
City of Edmonton
that their contributions are being repaid and recognized in such dire
circumstances, but they deserve to be recognized nonetheless. We are 780-496-8128
with you, Fort McMurray, and we hope that you can return home soon. [email protected]
Until then, welcome to Edmonton!

Sunglasses – more than just a fashion statement
Sunglasses are a “must have” for big-sky prairie summers and there is more to think about when selecting them than
style and cost.
Sunglasses can protect your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light and can dramatically reduce the risk
of damage to your eyes. In the same way your skin can be damaged by UV rays, your eyes can also be affected by the
sun. Prolonged exposure can cause permanent eye damage and is a contributing factor in many eye disorders, like cataracts, macular degeneration and ophthalmic cancers.
The best UV protection is offered by close-fitting wraparound sunglasses, so glasses should fit closely to your face and
wrap around the face.
It’s important to read the label when selecting sunglasses, as different types of lenses protect your eyes from different
types of light. Look for sunglasses or prescription lenses with full UVA and UVB protection – like those that are labelled as ‘UV400’ or ‘100% UV protection.’ Dark lenses don’t necessarily block out more UV light than lighter lenses
but it’s still important to choose a pair that are dark enough to keep your eyes comfortable in bright sunlight. Keep in
mind that contact lenses, even those with UV protection, don’t provide full coverage for the eye and skin around the
eye.
It’s especially important to protect your eyes when the sun’s rays are most intense – between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. In addition to wearing sunglasses, it’s also a good idea to wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect skin and eyes.
Be sun-wise and take steps to protect your eyes.

Unmasking men’s mental
health
Overall, women are about twice as likely as men to be
diagnosed with a mental illness. Part of the reason for
this is that men only make about two thirds as many
doctor visits as women do. And when men do see a doctor, they are often reluctant to talk about what’s really
bothering them, especially if it has anything to do with
feelings or mood.
Plus, most men don’t realize that some of the physical
things like chronic pain and digestive problems could
actually be caused by a mental health concern such as
depression, anxiety, or stress.
And then there are men who know (or who at least
strongly suspect) that they have a problem, but they suffer in silence, afraid to admit that they need help. Afraid
others will find out their secret and they’ll be perceived
as weak or wimpy, or that they’ll lose their job.
What Can Affect Your Mental Health?
• Your genes (some mental health issues run in families)
• Divorce, separation, or the breakup of a long term
relationship
• The death of a loved one
• Losing your job, or job changes
• Financial problems or going through bankruptcy
• Coping with a natural disaster
• Moving to a new home
• Marriage
• Getting a promotion at work
• Caring for an aging parent
• The birth of your child
• Being diagnosed and living with a serious illness, or
suffering a major injury
• Serving in the military, especially in combat
• Sometimes lots of little things build up and the combination can be extremely harmful.
The Big Question: Am I Normal?
Everyone has their ups and downs from time to time.
Most wonder at least one time in their life whether what
they are feeling is normal, or whether they need professional help. Unfortunately, there’s no single answer
that’s right for everyone. However, here’s a good rule of
thumb:
you need to seek help if you’ve been having symptoms
every day for more than two weeks, and if those symptoms keep you from enjoying life, performing at work,
or maintaining relationships with friends, your partner,
or your children.
Contact your family doctor or the nearest counselling
services in your area.

Volunteers Needed and Appreciated
Volunteers definitely make the world a better place, but think what volunteers can do for your own community! Sharing a bit of your time or skills
benefits the families and individual members of the community who enjoy
the amazing facilities and programs offered by the COCL. Volunteering
can also be a benefit to you! If you are a teen who is looking to fulfill
volunteer hours for school requirements, or if you need to fulfill a volunteer commitment for a sports registration (instead of a bingo or casino for
example) then contact the COCL for ways you can volunteer. Some areas
requiring Volunteers as soon as possible include:
•
A Variety Show Director (minimal time commitment until October and November)
•
Vice President
•
3rd Bingo Director
•
Registration Director
•
Director at Large (come to monthly community meetings and
help where you can)
•
Webmaster (administering COCL facebook page, managing
emails, web management etc.)
If you are able to commit some time and enjoy the rewards of helping to
improve our community, we’d love to hear from you!

Improve communication
with loved ones suffering
from dementia
Conversation can be challenging with a friend or
family member suffering from dementia. Improving
communication can make a world of difference.
Albertan Joan Spinney is a 94-year-old resident
living in continuing care. She has a lifetime of
experiences to share, but significant hearing loss
and an Alzheimer’s diagnosis makes conversation
difficult. She is unable to understand questions or
follow instructions without her hearing aids, which
were misplaced several months ago.
Staff and family were already using communication
strategies like making eye contact with Spinney,
reducing distractions, and using slower speech.
Speech language pathologist, Saige Strangway,
suggested some new tools. She encouraged the use
of a memory book to share stories and placed labels
in Spinney’s room to act as a guide and reminders.
Strangway also introduced an amplification device
called a PocketTalker.
Spinney’s son-in-law came to visit after Strangway
had introduced the communications tools. The visit
was memorable. Joan and her son-in-law shared
jokes, stories, and reviewed her old school work
together.
Spinney is known as a witty character with a great
sense of humour. She raised four children, likes
to socialize and takes pride in how she presents
herself. Spinney enjoys many recreational activities
in her continuing care home including gardening,
crafting and listening to musical performances.
Improving how she can communicate has enhanced
her quality of life.
It is never too late to improve how we communicate with our loved ones.
Try the following tips:
•
Reduce the number of distractions.
•
Make eye contact. Use gentle touch to get
attention.
•
Keep information short and to the point.
•
Say important things twice to help the
person stay focused.
•
Be patient. Give the person extra time to
answer.
•
Give the person choices instead of asking open-ended questions (e.g., “Would you like a
sandwich or soup?” instead of “What do you want
for lunch?”).
•
Write reminders and steps on how to do
things
•
Use calendars and memory books to help
the person to remember and to talk about memories
•
Leave a diary for visitors to write notes
about their visits.

Bingos
Our next bingo date, held at Kensington
Bingo Hall is:
Monday, August 29 (4:45-9:45)
Wednesday, September 14 (4:45-9:45)
If you are scheduled for a bingo, Jennifer will give a courtesy phone reminder
about a week prior (to the number you
wrote down at registration time. You also
have your parental commitment date on
your copy of the registration form). For
bingo inquiries please contact Jennifer
at 780-720-7843 or email: bingolbcl@
gmail.com
Advice when volunteering at Bingo:
Wear comfortable shoes, as most jobs
require you to walk around the bingo
hall for the shift. Please don’t plan on
texting friends or standing on the sides;
we are expected to focus on our job and
circulate throughout the room. You will
get a 25 minute break which allows you
to sit and relax and you can have a meal
from the concession stand for free. Do
call-backs quickly (calling out the bingo
winner’s number) which speeds up the
games and gets you out earlier. Have
fun; visit with your community members
as you walk around, and think of all the
good you are doing for your community
and your body (it is exercise too!).
We currently need Bingo volunteers for
Monday, August 29 (4:45-9:30)
Wednesday, September 14 (4:459:30)
$25 Tiger bucks will given for each

Quitting tobacco with
AlbertaQuits.ca
People use tobacco for different reasons, and there is
no shortage of good reasons to quit. Longevity, quality
of life, the sheer cost of cigarettes or chewing tobacco,
the impact smoking has on your friends and loved ones:
these are all major factors that may motivate you to quit.
For all these motivations though, quitting can still be a
difficult process. The nicotine in tobacco is an extremely
addictive substance and when you stop using tobacco,
your body reacts to the lack of nicotine in your system.
The good news is you don’t have go through it alone.
There are supports available, including the AlbertaQuits
website, albertaquits.ca.
All Albertans seeking tobacco reduction or cessation
support are encouraged to visit the website and register
for the full scope of services, completely free of charge.
With the convenience of being able to access AlbertaQuits.ca online from the comfort of your home at any
time of day, you can access a variety of resources and
online tools to help you quit.
The website, which has been redesigned to make it
easier to navigate, is now more accessible on mobile devices than ever before, enabling you to access
information, support and get encouragement on the go.
If you register for the full scope of services, which are
available free of charge, the site also features a newly
redesigned Quit Plan, which has been updated based
on feedback from users. With this tool, you can create a customized Quit Plan, tailored to your individual
needs,that will guide you every step of the way towards
becoming tobacco-free. Even if you aren’t ready to set
a quit date just yet, the quit plan and resources from
albertaquits.ca can help.

Conversations matter: talk about
your wishes and health care values
Do your loved ones know what type of medical care you would
want if you were unable to speak for yourself?
Many of us “save for a rainy day”, plan for retirement, or even
plan our next vacation. Just as important, we need to plan for our
health care future – and make sure our wishes are known.
Alberta Health Services is encouraging you to think about, talk
about and document your wishes for healthcare to ensure your
voice is heard. Advance Care Planning allows your family or
close friends to know what kind of care you want, and could
bring comfort and peace of mind to those making healthcare
decisions on your behalf.
Take the time to talk to your friends and family about your
wishes. If there’s an unexpected event or change in your health
and you aren’t able to make decisions about your healthcare,
having a plan in place ensures your wishes are known. Check out
AHS’s interactive guide to help you start the conversation.
Things you can do:
•
Learn about Advance Care Planning
•
Think about your values and wishes for your healthcare
now and in the future
•
Talk with those who you are close to about your values
and wishes
•
Discuss your wishes with your health care provider
•
Consider naming an Alternate Decision Maker or agent
•
Complete your personal directive
It’s about making choices for your health care before a personal
crisis, you owe it to yourself and you owe it to your family to
think about your health care wishes now. Visit: www.conversationsmatter.ca

Happy Trails –
ATV Safety Tips
As snow-blowers and shovels are tucked
away for another season, Albertans are venturing outdoors to enjoy the spring weather.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) is reminding all Albertans, and particularly parents of
children less than 16 years of age, to make
ATV safety a priority.
There are significant risks associated with
the use of ATVs. Children less than 16 years
of age have not yet developed to the point
of having the strength, skills or judgment
needed to operate an ATV, and this includes
ATVs marketed as ‘child-sized’.
Sundays & Mondays. White Oaks Joey`s Restaurant only.
Parents of children less than 16 years of age
are advised to ensure these children do not
drive or ride in an ATV. Albertans 16 years of
age and older are urged to take the following
precautions to ensure their ATV excursions
are as safe as possible:
•
Look First
Be sure you’re aware of the weather forecast,
fire outlook/potential, and any hazards (geographical, animal or human) that the trail(s)
you’re on could pose.
•
Wear the Gear
A helmet can save your life: from 2002 –
2013, 41 per cent of ATV-rider deaths in
Alberta were due to head injuries. In 77 per
cent of these head injury deaths, the ATV
riders were not wearing a helmet. In addition
to a helmet, always wear a jacket, long pants,
goggles, boots and gloves.
•
Get Trained
Before you hit the trails, get formal hands-on
training from a recognized/trained ATV instructor. Don’t be shy about refreshing your
training seasonally.
•
Buckle Up
Be sure that you’re fastened in properly, and
that all gear and equipment (including your
ATV restraints) are in proper working condition before you hit the trails.
•
Drive Sober
Don’t drink or do drugs before or while
operating an ATV. Fifty-five per cent of those
who died in ATV crashes between 2002 and
2013 tested positive for alcohol.
In addition to the above, before you head out
on the trail, let others know where you’re going and when they should expect you back.
This helps your loved ones know when to
call for help if you’ve been gone too long.
Take a cell phone or working radio with you,
as well as a first aid kit. Never hesitate to call
for help if you’re stuck, have damaged your
ATV, or are injured.

injury prevention in Alberta, visit http://
