Episode #63 - Calgary Real Estate - World Suicide Prevention Day 2010
Today is World Suicide Prevention day! I want to sincerely thank Lee Horbachewski for bringing this day to my attention! I want to help spread some word about suicide so as a result I am not talking about Calgary real estate today.
