In this episode of the OC Podcast I speak with my "sister" Cst. Stacey McKinnon of the Calgary Police Service.
I first met Cst. McKinnon back in 2015, I clearly did not refer to her as my sister at that time- Stacey had been one of several members of the CPS to respond to a call I had put in to attempt once again to get my beautiful girl Eddy off the streets of Calgary.
This is where and how I met Stacey.

Little did Stacey and I know that both of our lives would be forever changed through Eden's addiction and "this" chance encounter would become the Silver Lining for all of us.
