The City of Grande Prairie begins residential street sweeping operations on Monday, June 2 to help maintain clean and safe neighbourhood streets.

Residential street sweeping follows the same neighbourhood pattern as the City’s residential snow clearing schedule. Each area is scheduled for sweeping the day before its regular waste collection day during its designated week.

The City of Grande Prairie is expanding its On-Demand Transit service to include the Copperwood neighbourhood starting June 1, adding three new on-demand stops.

On-Demand Transit is part of the City’s Community Bus Services, which provide convenient and accessible transit options to meet a variety of community needs.

Last issue, we talked about how the pressure gradient force is the main driving force of wind in our atmosphere and that it exists due to the unequal heating of the Earth’s surface.

Now, if we were to take a simple look at the Earth, this would mean that the polar regions would have high pressure because they are cold and the equatorial regions would be areas of low pressure because they are warm.

India takes the plunge, but some crop sectors remain hesitant.

May 4, 2025, could be a significant day in the history of agriculture.

On that day, Indian agriculture minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced the release of two gene-edited rice varieties.

The announcement signals to the world that India — a country of nearly 1.5 billion people — is committed to gene edited technologies and modern tools to improve crop production.

A new spy watchdog report says an overseas Canadian Security Intelligence Service operation was suddenly halted by government officials, "creating unnecessary danger for the CSIS team" and raising questions about ministerial accountability.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency found no written records indicating the decision to suspend the operation had been made by the CSIS director or the minister of public safety.

National defence is becoming an increasingly thorny topic for Prime Minister Mark Carney's government as Canada comes under heavy pressure from its allies to do more and spend more.

But with just weeks to go until NATO member nations assemble in the Netherlands for a summit that could put Ottawa in the hot seat on defence spending, several of his ministers took the unusual step of removing themselves from discussions with defence reporters this week at Canada's largest defence industry show.

God often delivers His best gifts to us in unexpected ways ... with surprises inside the wrappings. Through apparent contradictions. Somewhat like the therapy, He used when Elijah was so low and so terribly disillusioned.
