The 16th Healthcare Infusion chapter just came online tonight! It’s in Peace River, ALBERTA.

It’s run by Annette. A farmer. An immigrant. Someone who chose Peace River more than 20 years ago, and chose it again by staying, building, and helping.

That’s what the Healthcare Infusion movement is. Not a company. Not a government program. Just locals who love where they live, taking the time to help healthcare workers picture a life there too.

Here's a small peek at this week's bonus newsletter.
Every so often someone knocks softly, hoping you won’t notice who they are or what they’re carrying. I got one of those knocks this week, and it reminded me how fragile a public promise can be when profit tries to tiptoe in.

Also inside:
✔️ A deep-dive profile of a Canadian company
✔️ The insanely popular "What the Fact?!" feature
✔️ Canadian trivia!
