I’ve started a photo project for 2026! Inspired by the numerous sets of #RiverValley stairs in the City of #Edmonton, I'll be photographing some of them, sharing their story as I’ve experienced them, in the nearly 25 years I’ve lived here.

First up:

Stairs That Tell A Story: Default Stairs 👇🏻

River Valley Co-op Workers Opened up Bargaining—and Won Big

River Valley Co-op is a consumer-owned cooperative grocery store with two locations in Western Massachusetts. We have been unionized with Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1459 for the last decade with 175 workers in our bargaining unit. This year, beginning in January and ending in June, we held thirteen bargaining sessions with RVC management and their attorneys in a process that was transformative for our union. Negotiations were tense and at times, adversarial.

Yay, wrapping is a wrap! 💪
So final post for today: This is #BosniaAndHerzegovina for #MountainMonday. This photo was taken near #Tečići and the beautiful turquoise #river is called #Drina. It's very popular for rafting and kayaking. We didn't have the time to do that, but the scenery was breathtaking!
