🚨 We have a new program starting this week, on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 6:30 p.m. 🚨

Our Collective Journey and Medicine Hat Family Service have teamed up to create The Family Collective, a recovery support program dedicated to families and loved ones who are supporting someone experiencing addiction or working toward recovery. This eight-week support program provides a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where families can come together, share their experiences, learn from one another, and discover that they are not alone. Families do not have to navigate the challenges of addiction by themselves. Through connection and shared experiences, participants can begin to find understanding, strength, and hope. Registration is required through Our Collective Journey.

The Family Collective meets bi-weekly on Thursdays.

The third question in our Who Would Win? series is up.

We want you to tell us which of these voracious readers would give the best book recommendations.

Swipe to see the contenders and the case for each, then visit to the library and cast your vote at the display wall at the main entrance.

We'll tabulate the votes and let you know the winner when a new Who Would Win? goes up on the wall.

In the previous Who Would Win?, you said Batman would create a better escape room than Sherlock Holmes by a vote of 184 to 147.
