About Us

When we moved to Alberta in 1993, Lauren and I set up We Can Help U Calgary to help people who were not too sure how to fill out forms, needed help with questions about their taxes, questions about bookkeeping, and we helped navigate them through the roads they were travelling. We talked a lot to people about what they needed to get their day-to-day life in order.    

 

I was lucky enough to get a full-time job with Registries when Alberta privatized the motor vehicle operations to private Registry owners. I worked for 23 years at one Registry, where I learned how to do regular Registry duties, but I also taught myself to do Land Title transfers, Advanced Corporate Registry work, Immigration Documents, Pension requests, as a Commissioner for Oaths in and for Alberta I helped people with Statutory Declarations, final surrogate documents, land title work...  

 

A significant number of the Registry clients were LGBTQ+ and this taught me about their needs and legalities being slightly different from mainstream clients.  Being a Registry Clerk taught me patience, understanding, empathy, respect for people who struggled financially and had to get their “stuff” done.  People came to our Registry because we avoided judgement and made everyone feel comfortable about where they were on their journey, we helped them any way we could.   

​

When I left Registries, I took that empathy, knowledge and client focus with me into the world and continued to “help u” in expanded ways. Along the way, I added some new people who have different skills than I do to broaden ways I can help.
