News from the Salvation Army Community Centre
Mobilize 2008
 Several Centre staff along with Major Henri are in Calgary this week to take in Mobilize 2008, a conference on Emergency and Disaster Relief with the Salvation Army.
Seminars include emergency food handling, international emergency services, handing emergencies locally, and how to operate in the Incident Command System. While we hope we will never be called upon to use what we have learned, if we are called, we will be prepared. An overview of what the Saskatoon Salvation Army Community Centre's Emergency Disaster Services can be found here. If you are interested, we also found some time to tour other Emergency Disaster Vehicles while we were there. They are posted to our photo gallery and can be viewed here.

We have a new website!
Thanks for stopping by the new site for the Salvation Army Community Centre in Saskatoon. After a couple of long nights in front of my laptop and some quality time with Dreamweaver, the Centre's website is now almost complete. There is a couple of areas that I thought I would highlight today. - You have found our weblog already but you can also follow it via RSS in your favorite feed reader.
- We have photos! | While only a couple have been uploaded so far to Flickr, there will be hundreds more going online in the next couple of days that should give you an idea of what life at the Salvation Army Community Centre is like.
- Our YouTube Channel | While we have been too busy working on the website to shoot much video, there will be video being uploaded over the next couple of months. Until then you can explore some of the videos from across YouTube we have marked as favorites. Some are serious while others are kind of fun.
- The Centre's Programs | Apparently we are quite busy around the Centre. We provide residential, correctional, food, family tracing, and family services. On top of that we have a full time chaplain and New Hope Community Church that calls the Centre home.
- Upcoming Events | We use Yahoo!'s wonderful Upcoming service to post upcoming events happening at the Centre.
- Keep up to date via e-mail | Sign up for our general newsletter and any media releases we sign out here.
Take a look around and if you see anything out of place, I would love to hear back from you at jordon.cooper@salvationarmyscc.com. Labels: admin, Life at the Centre
