Q. Why are you running for council?

A. I’m running for council because I feel the city has way more potential than is being realized. I want this city to be a place that my children will want to return to after university. With the increase in crime and dilapidated roads and infrastructure, our city has taken a wrong turn that needs to be righted.

Q. Do you have experience in public service/community boards/politics?

I don't know about you, but Ashlyn and Rustyn Paul are hoping to feel 22.

The Swift Current mother and daughter have gone viral on social media seeking the perfect night when they see Taylor Swift on November 21st in Toronto.

They made a sign and posted it online as they end up dreaming they'll convince Swift to give Rustyn her 22 hat at the concert.

All month, the WDM has its Poppy Seek & Find event for visitors to participate in. People can be a part of remembering veterans at WDM by simply paying the general admission fee and picking up an activity sheet on the table just before the glass doors. Goers can explore the Museum Galleries while looking for images of poppies and write the locations on the seek-and-find activity sheet.

Ports in British Columbia could potentially be paralyzed again starting next week, as the latest labour dispute has triggered a provincewide lockout notice from employers against a union of more than 700 foremen.
