All of us in the Bow Valley must wish the person at Valbella Gourmet Foods who responded to the LBGTQ+ request for a donation would have written something like “we are sorry, but our charity donations have all been budgeted for this year. Good luck with your event”, but they didn't.
And don’t we all wish the actual reply to Valbella would have been something like “thank you for your reply. We are sorry you seem to have been hurt or have had an unfortunate experience by someone or something in our community. We hope going forward you will come to know the majority of us are good people”, but it wasn’t.
Valbella has been and continues to be a stellar business, very generous and community-minded. They have worked incredibly hard and employ many people who support families. Sometimes we have to remember it’s not all about us.
