The Tangle: Episode 13
Hey there CT Community,
In our last newsletter, we tipped our hats to our Calgary ecosystem. This week, we have community on the mind again, but for very different reasons. The aftermath of the Jasper wildfires is weighing heavily on us. Our hearts go out to the Jasper community and all those impacted by the fires. These are the times when it’s important to remember that two things can be true at once: we can be grateful that folks are safe, and we can feel a sense of grief and loss at the destruction of such a vibrant and beautiful community.
This is also a time when it’s important to come together, lean on each other, and offer support and resources where we can. After all, we’re stronger together.
If you’re looking to support our friends in Jasper, here are a few ideas on ways you can contribute:
💡 Today, July 31st, is Alberta Day of Caring. Any money donated to the 2024 Alberta Wildfires Appeal through the Canadian Red Cross will be matched by both the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta. Every $1 donated will become $3 to support those affected by wildfires. Donate here.
💡 Bottles and cans taking up space in your garage? As a part of today’s Alberta Day of Caring, bring any bottles and cans to a bottle depot in Alberta on July 31st and let them know that “these are for Jasper.” Proceeds will go towards the Alberta Day of Caring.
💡 The Jasper Community Team Society is a registered, non-profit organization that supports community connection and well-being in Jasper. They work closely with the Municipality of Jasper’s Community Development Department and are collecting donations for a Jasper Fire Relief Fund. Visit their website for details.

We need your help!
This summer, we've partnered with Propel Impact to better understand how mental health impacts companies, and what leaders need to build resilience for themselves and their teams. We want to learn more about you and your company to determine what business leaders like yourself look for when it comes to mental health support and services.
We’d be so grateful if you could take a few moments to complete this short survey to help us better understand how we can best support our community. The survey closes today, and we’d love to sneak in a few more responses! All responses are confidential and greatly appreciated.
Thank you for supporting us so that we can better support you! 💙
Therapy Talk 🗣
Our counsellors know what’s up when it comes to entrepreneur mental health. While they each have their own unique background and wealth of experience that shapes their work at CT—and that makes them a better fit for you, specifically—they’re all aware of the entrepreneurial journey (and the challenges that come with it). Some themes they see? Burnout, decision fatigue, juggling priorities, financial stress, and workplace relationships and dynamics. Does any of that sound familiar to you?

We see you, we hear you, and we’re in your corner.
