Calgary Bishop Fred Henry has strong words and clear analysis of the breakdown in Alberta’s health-care system.

The Edmonton Archdiocese is being honoured for its outstanding work with refugees over the last 30 years. We’ll tell you why. One reason is Catholic Social Services’ Sign of Hope campaign which kicks off Tuesday.
