Crossfield

Airdrie residents accustomed to receiving their Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) on or around the 15th of the month may be surprised to see no deposit thus far this month. The final payment is still coming, just later than usual, and it marks the end of the quarterly program.

The Discover Airdrie Auction is wrapping up today. Items will begin closing this morning, so don't miss your chance to save big on items you need or want for spring and summer! We are down to our final hours, so get bidding! 

There are 358 items, ranging from gift cards and dinner out to home upgrades and car services. All items started at 60% off retail. So, the savings are huge, and you get to support local, so win, win! 

Crossfield residents could be affected by a clawback of rural carbon rebate payments after the Canada Revenue Agency confirmed the town falls within Calgary’s metropolitan boundary.

The CRA said it conducted a review of the supplement in 2024 to ensure individuals living outside of Census Metropolitan Areas were receiving the correct payments.

Crossfield didn’t win Kraft Hockeyville’s grand prize. It got something else entirely. Late Saturday, the town got a call no one expected.
