A Remembrance Reunion: War Medals Returned
A Remembrance Reunion: War Medals Returned
As we approach Remembrance Day, we would like to share a story of how a military family was re-united with personal heirlooms. This all started with a donation we received at our Calgary TransCanada Goodwill Thrift Store.
On a crisp, beautiful day in Calgary, a beautifully put-together shadow box filled with medals, patches, and a black and white photograph of two soldiers showed up at our donation centre.
Unsure of who it belonged to, we knew we needed to do some research to try and find a respectful resting place for them.
If this sounds familiar, you may be thinking of another set of medals that were also donated to Calgary’s Trans Canada Goodwill. Find the story here.
The Medals
In our research of each medal and patch, we found that the medals dated back to World War 1 and 2! There’s something indescribable about holding medals from that time, thinking about what the recipient did, put on the line, and experienced for the freedom and benefit of future generations.
What to do with the Medals?
When we received the donated medals, we began exploring different avenues of finding them a home. Starting with the Canadian Forces in Calgary, we were able to get some guidance on how to proceed from Sergeant Hartwick of the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre. He recommended that we connect with the Calgary Military Museum.
There, we had the pleasure of chatting with Walter, the Collections Assistant and Manager at the Army Museum of Alberta. He shed light on the origins of each medal and gave tips on how we could begin to uncover the individual who earned each one and what base the recipient had been at by reading the edge of each medal. Along the edges, you could see engravings which read., “J.T. Hearson”, “59162 PIE J.T Hearson Notts & Derby. R”, & “S.Sask.R”.
John Thomas Hearson (left) pictured with a fellow soldier named Bill (right) With these new-found details, the Goodwill team put on their detective caps and began reaching out to army bases in Saskatchewan in hopes there would be a record of our mysterious J.T Hearson. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive a reply, but we weren’t about to give up. Our next step, checking obituaries for Hearsons in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Amazingly enough, we found an obituary for one John Thomas Hearson, born in Nottingham Yorkshire, England, and settling in Wayburn, Saskatchewan.
John Thomas Hearson Obituary Now that we had a name, we could make our way through the Hearson family tree searching multiple obituaries until we found a living descendant, a Mr. Kelly Hearson, P.Eng who resided in Manitoba.
Kelly Hearson, grandson of John Thomas Hearson Since we didn’t have a contact for Mr. Hearson, our Google sleuthing lead us to a community group that mentioned his name numerous times. We reached out to them with our findings and they graciously passed along our contact information as well as a note of possibly having his family heirlooms.
A week later, we received a call from an understandably skeptical Kelly Hearson who soon became overjoyed in hearing that we may have his grandfathers’ medals. A quick email with photos was sent and one of the men in the photo was identified, “that’s definitely Grampa in the photo; he was not a tall man :D. Thank you very much for this!” Kelly proclaimed.
The Reunion
Now that we had a living relative, we wrapped everything up and packed it safely away in a repurposed box to shop out to Winnipeg, Manitoba where the medals could be reunited with John Thomas Hearson’s grandson, and his own son’s medals, which Kelly has on display at his home.
War medals packed in a repurposed box, ready to ship to Winnipeg, MB It’s an exciting and heartwarming feeling to have been able to reunite a descendant of this veteran with their hard-earned medals. This Remembrance Day we will reflect and appreciate what we have and the life we get to lead thanks to our selfless veterans.

How to shop at the AMAZING Edmonton Impact Outlet Store
The Blue Bin Experience at the AMAZING Edmonton Impact Centre!
Q: Ever wonder what happens to the items that don’t sell in our thrift stores?
A: The items are sent to our Amazing Impact Centre where they get sorted and have one more chance to find a new home for a fraction of the price!
If you haven’t been to the outlet store or are wondering how you go about getting your hands on some of those overlooked hidden gems, you’re missing out! Located at 11415 168 St. NW in Edmonton at the AMAZING Edmonton Impact Centre, this has become a thrifters paradise. Let us tell you about everything you need to know to prepare for your trip!
Step 1: The Layout
Scattered throughout the Outlet Store are Giant blue bins, with each bin containing a select group of items. One bin can contain a variety of records, while another bin can contain winter wear.
Step 2: Get ready to rumble!
Shoppers line up in the designated section, because every 25 minutes a new bin replaces an older bin and it’s first come, first serve for the items!
Step 3: Ready and GO!
Once the bin is in the designated area and it’s safe to shop, a Goodwill employee will give a signal or blow a whistle when shoppers can begin their shopping experience.
This is your chance to grab all of your thrift finds and items! Make sure you do a thorough search, this is the last chance anyone has to snag these items before they get recycled!
Put all your special finds in your cart and hop to the next bin! There are lots more unique pieces to discover!
Step 4: All thrifted out!
Once you’ve snagged your goods, head to the front to have your haul weighed!
Pricing is dependent on weight. If you’re under 50 lbs., it is $1.99 per pound, but if you’re over 50 lbs., it is only 99 cents per pound!
Please note, that there is special pricing for books, glassware and furniture to save you the most money!
Step 5: Do a happy dance!
Once you have paid and loaded up your thrift haul, do a happy dance! By shopping at Goodwill’s outlet store you not only snagged some amazing thrift finds but directly diverted items from a landfill and supported one GOOD mission! We’d say that’s something to celebrate!

Goodwill Myth Busting
Let’s bust some common myths about Goodwill Industries of Alberta
Goodwill Industries of Alberta strives to make a difference in the lives of those with disability through the power of work and the dignity of a job.
Unfortunately, throughout our legacy of GOOD and advancements of our mission, there have been some speculations of donation deception, thrift store falsehood and non-profit perjury surrounding our brand and we are here to set the record straight!
We pride ourselves on being an open book and don’t keep any secrets hidden away in some dark corner of the closet (probably surrounded by ready to donate items). So, if you have a question, ask us! We will be happy provide any answer you seek while most likely reminding you of our weekly tag colour or guiding you through the racks on racks of your next favourite preloved item.
Our big blue doors are always open and to prove just how committed we are to transparency, let’s shatter some superstitions and get kicked off with some of the GOOD stuff.
Myth
We love pie, that’s why we keep the largest piece. Only 12% of the companies profit goes towards it’s charity work.
Fact
Actually, 89% goes back to our mission of providing individuals with disabilities the opportunity to enhance their lives through meaningful employment. This includes many of our initiatives like our Path to Employment programs, Goodwill at Work programs and our Sustainability Action Plan.
Myth
Fighting stance everyone! Goodwill has actively fought against legislative proposals to raise minimum wage.
Fact
All of our team members are paid the minimum wage or higher, according to Alberta Labour Laws.
Myth
“Oh say can you see…” Goodwill is operated out of the US. Profits made do not stay in the Great White North.
Fact
We have maple syrup in our blood! We are guided by an Albertan Board of Directors and we began our mission back in 1963, right here in Edmonton! All proceeds stay within Alberta and contribute to our mission.
Myth
Goodwill does not help our communities.
Fact
We offer charitable service programs through our Career Connections program, while supporting community initiatives like You Can Ride 2, Big Bin Events in Edmonton/Calgary and Recycling initiatives throughout Alberta
Myth
We hate formalities. We are NOT a registered charity.
Fact
We are a registered charity. In fact, we have been a registered charity with the CRA since 1967. You can view more here: https://apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/hacc/srch/pub/dsplyRprtngPrd?q.srchNm=goodwill+industries+of+alberta&q.stts=0007&selectedCharityBn=118941764RR0001&dsrdPg=1
Myth
Our CEO (and real person), Mark Curran, is an American who makes over 2.3 million dollars per year from Goodwill.
Fact
Mark Curran? Who’s he? We don’t know who Mark Curran is but we do know that he is most definitely not our CEO and has not worked for any Goodwill…EVER. Goodwill is governed by a Board of Directors right here in Alberta and our President/CEO is a local Albertan dedicated to advancing the mission.
Myth
Goodwill takes the best donated books and resells them to other organizations.
Fact
ALL donated books are available in Goodwill thrift stores.
Well there you have it! Mystery solved. Case cracked. Order restored. The GOOD news is, we are always ready and willing to answer any of your questions surrounding our mission and want to make sure you know how your donations impact the community for the better.
Wanna be in the loop on the best of the myth busts? Make sure to follow us on social where your kept up to date with all of the fun factual things going on around our stores and the best of the best in regards to the good stuff.

Repair for Good
“I was broken and discarded. Then Goodwill made me whole again. I’ve been refurbished and upcycled. Now, I am ready for a new home.”
The good thing about upcycling is that there really are no limits to what you can create. It’s a sustainable, cost-effective option, and anyone can join the upcycling revolution and undertake a range of upcycled furniture projects!
This revolution has come to Goodwill as our organization goes back to our heritage. Back to where it all began. The Commercial Services is a team made up of individuals with a disability and this team has been working very hard to bring you upcycled furniture show pieces for your home. These one of a kind items keep furniture out of local landfills and provide employment opportunities for those with a disability.
Shop Online
Today, you can now search through our online inventory and find the piece that sparks joy in your life. Browse our products, add your favourites to the cart and place your order. Schedule a pickup date and time and drop by the amazing Edmonton Impact Centre to grab your items – it’s that simple!
Funds from each purchase will go towards programs that will help more people with disabilities find purposeful employment. Our trainers will inspect all items for quality before pick-up in the West End of Edmonton at 11415 168st. NW.
[twenty20 img1=”16383″ img2=”16380″ offset=”0.5″ before=”Before” after=”After”]
At the moment, the Goodwill online thrift store offers items for pickup only.
Shipping may be available in the future however, the logistics for shipping are currently too difficult with all the stores and the limited number of items.
Stay tuned for changes and updates to this policy!
Shop with Goodwill and skip the tax all while helping to create positive change in your community. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Ready? Set. Shop!

Spring Cleaning
Give Goods. For Good.
You donate, Albertans with disabilities work.
Every day, Goodwill strengthens families and communities through the power of work and the dignity of a job. Our award winning social enterprise changes lives for the better AND diverts millions of kilograms of waste from local landfills each year.
During this year’s spring clean, when you are straightening up your closets consider Goodwill. You can donate your unwanted clothing and used household goods to make a difference in the lives of Albertans with disabilities.
Your old clothes can be someone’s bright future, so please make a difference in a real person’s life today by donating to Goodwill!
Good Looks. For Good.
Boot cut jeans are making a comeback and so are those vintage, 1970’s popped collared dress shirts. So why pay full price for a “vintage look” when you can find the real deal at your local Goodwill.
There isn’t just one look either, as you can be whoever you want to be. You just have to use your imagination.
One day, you’ll be able to walk the red carpet at the Oscars, while the next day you’re getting all your gear ready for the ‘Battle of Alberta’ figuring out which side you’ll be going for. Will you be blue and orange or will you be red and yellow? The choices define us and make us feel good in the process.
Re-introduce to the world, mom’s old sunglasses, or dad’s old bow tie. You’ll stand out from the crowd and have more money afterwards to splurge on something else. Plus you’re making a difference, as 89 cents of every dollar spent at Goodwill goes towards programs that help those who need help the most. This is a win-win situation, because you’ll be doing a lot GOOD in your community.
Feel good. Look good. Be good. Spread the Goodwill.

St. Albert, get ready for something GOOD!
Get ready for something GOOD!
Since 1963, Goodwill Industries of Alberta has been changing lives for the better through the power of work and the dignity of a job. Thanks to our community, we have become an award-winning not-for-profit enterprise, and now one of the largest employers of people with disabilities Western Canada.
With retail operations in 6 cities across the province, Goodwill is proud to be expanding to one of the most beautiful cities in all of Canada…St. Albert!
St. Albert
Located along the Sturgeon River, on Monday, April 5, 2021, Goodwill is proud to open a brand new Goodwill thrift store and donation centre in North St. Albert! Located at 730 St. Albert Trail, this location will complement our existing donation centre in the south area of St. Albert, Tudor Glen.
This new location is an opportunity for Goodwill to support community initiatives within St. Albert, including expanding our efforts in environmental stewardship.
Sustainability
Goodwill not only diverts 90% of waste from landfills in the Edmonton region annually, but we find a way to give back, as seen through our partnership with the Alberta Reads Network.
With this partnership, volunteer groups come in to sort through books that have been donated. The books are cleaned and readied for distribution into socially challenged areas, promoting literacy and education.
Opening up a new Goodwill thrift store and donation centre in St. Albert is a proud moment for our organization.
We look to support more Albertans with disabilities with meaningful employment than ever before. And with St. Albert’s track record of community development, diversity and inclusion, Goodwill couldn’t be more proud or excited as we set our sights on opening Canada’s newest Goodwill centre of excellence in St. Albert!
Together we will carry the torch on behalf of so many, as we change lives for the better.

The Goodwill Volunteer Hub
Volunteer placements are in a holding pattern or they’ve been outright cancelled since the pandemic began last year. This left many people within our Career Connections division without a place to contribute back to the community.
Goodwill’s Job Development Team took this challenge head-on and created “The Goodwill Volunteer Hub.”
This Volunteer Hub is based out of Goodwill’s Career Connections training facility on Whyte Ave. in Edmonton.
Here, individuals with disabilities assemble and create different ‘kits’ to help spread the GOOD vibes throughout our region.
It began with creating kits for disadvantaged people in the community (in partnership with the United Way). Different groups benefit from these kits and the packages range from:
- A children’s literacy kit
- A senior’s activity kit
- A pencil case kit
- A Thank You card to frontline workers
Other assembled kits include:
- Share the GOOD packages to stimulate local business
Albertans’ with disabilities assemble all items, creating dignity and joy through the power of work!
Assembly options are endless as this hub is a platform for volunteerism and community engagement.
We welcome this community engagement because of the challenges before us. As a result, when faced with CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES abound!
To help create more volunteer opportunities for these individuals, please contact us at:

Staying organized (and sane!) this holiday season!
Tips and Tricks from a Professional Organizer
What is Functional Spaces?
The 2020 holiday season is here at last! A bright and glittering spot in a year that has challenged us. Even if in-person gatherings may look a little different this year, most of us have opted in for as much decorating and gift-giving as possible.
As we bring new items into our homes, this is a fantastic time to declutter what we no longer use and organize the belongings we do. We want to optimize the sense of peace during the holiday season.
Realistic Goals
The first step is setting a goal and being realistic with the time frame. Tackle your home, room by room. Taking it all on at once will only overwhelm and discourage you.
Which room do you envision being the centre of the holidays – is it preparing food together in the kitchen? Or maybe gathering around the living area with music or games? Start there.
If you feel short on time (maybe your work is busiest at this time of the year), just set a timer and do a two-hour declutter session on a Saturday morning. Make that goal small and doable, such as the entryway or a linen closet. Do your best to stay focused on the area you choose so you can enjoy the sense of accomplishment when you achieve your goal!
Consider moving non-essential or out-of-season items – summer clothing or extra books, for example – into garage or basement storage so that they’re tucked out of the way during the holiday season.
A box of Christmas ornaments on a green cloth Storing Items
When you’re storing items, stash them in appropriate bins and, most importantly, label them. Kids’ toys or extra books can likely go in clear containers, while things you want to keep private can go in opaque or solid-coloured bins. Not all bins are created equal.
Goodwill
What do you do with the stuff you no longer need but is in good usable condition? Bring it to your local Goodwill donation centre! Goodwill is a community-driven non-profit that, in 2019 alone, diverted nearly 16 million kilograms of waste from landfills. Your items get a second life, we help strengthen our communities by creating employment for Albertans with disabilities.
Happy organizing, everyone! Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season.

UPDATED Store Hours
To help curb the spread of COVID-19 and keeping in mind the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, shoppers, donors and partners, we are reducing the retail hours of operation.
Hours Change
Stores will open at 10am and close at 7pm right across the province effective immediately.
This is an important step to protect those who matter most to us, both mentally and physically. COVID-19 is a real threat to our community and we must do our part to help those most vulnerable.
Thank you so much for helping our organization through this difficult time. Our shoppers, donors and Albertans everywhere continue to make a difference in the lives of so many. Helping those with disabilities find and gain meaningful employment.

Give the GOOD
MEDIA RELEASE
Press Release & Media Availability
Give the GOOD on Giveback Tuesday
Edmonton AB (November 30, 2020) – Sometimes things just don’t go to plan. This sums up 2020 in a single sentence. Like other organizations throughout the world, we have had to adjust, maneuver and change. This has been the case for our retail stores, donation centres and our programs to help those with a disability to find meaningful employment.
December 1st, 2020 is Giveback Tuesday and once again our organization had to pivot from our original plans. Goodwill was planning on rolling out the blue carpet to greet our donors with a custom song from local musicians and creating a celebratory day for the thousands of Albertans who support Goodwill with their generosity.
With COVID-19 mandates in place from the Provincial Government, the health and well-being of our staff members, shoppers and donors are at the forefront. This celebration would not have been appropriate as health and safety come first.
For Giveback Tuesday we are still honouring those who support our mission by doing something a bit different!
Goodwill Round UP
We have started a program for those who would like to support our mission even more so with Goodwill Round UP.
At checkout, you have the opportunity to Round UP your purchase to the nearest dollar.
Every cent you donate through our Round UP program will go directly towards our mission. This adds to the 89 cents of every dollar you’ve already donated by shopping in our stores. This means more resources to help Albertans with disabilities train; find; and gain, meaningful employment.
Give the GOOD
We are also looking for ten lucky individuals who have the chance to receive Thank You packages from Goodwill for supporting our organization this time of the year. We want you to help “Give the GOOD” by nominating your friend, neighbour or family member for this wonderful package with amazing items inside!
Simply go online by visiting our Facebook page or Instagram page and tell us why the person you nominate should receive this great package. We’ll take care of the rest!
While we are a recipient of Giveback Tuesday, we are giving back to everyone who has supported us in 2020.
Since 1963, Goodwill has been changing lives for the better through the power of work and the dignity and of a job.
For more on Give the GOOD for Giveback Tuesday please visit our website and our Instagram and Facebook pages.
