RCMP say they've arrested the pilot of a small aircraft that was allegedly hijacked from Victoria and flown to Vancouver International Airport, where other flights had to be temporarily halted.

RCMP in Richmond, B.C., say in a statement that a report came in just after 1 p.m. Tuesday about a Cessna that "had been hijacked" and was on its way to Vancouver.

Police say the "sole occupant" of the plane was arrested after it touched down. 

Underlying inflation remained stubbornly hot in June, leading financial markets and many economists to firm up calls for a third straight interest rate hold from the Bank of Canada later this month.

Statistics Canada said Tuesday that the annual pace of inflation accelerated to 1.9 per cent in June, up from 1.7 per cent in May and largely in line with economists’ expectations.

Prices didn't ease much at the gas pumps last month, the agency said, and higher prices on motor vehicles and other durable goods also drove inflation higher.

Brooks RCMP are looking for the public's help in finding a missing teenager.

About is described as five feet three inches tall, approximately 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on Abot's whereabouts is asked to contact Brooks RCMP at 403-210-7267.

For the Strathmore Fun Runners, those memories live on in their classic cars.

Between 200 to 300 vintage vehicles will be on display at Kinsmen Park on Friday (July 18) and Saturday (July 19). 

It's almost been a year since the current Miss Strathmore Stampede, Tenley Warburton, was crowned.

Warburton was given the title during the Strathmore Stampede long weekend, and Alie Churnoff is waiting in the wings as the next Miss Strathmore Stampede.

Warburton loves the opportunities the title has given her.

"It's been a whirlwind of a year. I've gotten a lot of cool opportunities, everything from absorbing the Strathmore Stampede from a different point of view to flying a helicopter, you get to do all kinds of cool things," said Warburton.

It was a strong end of the season for the U13B Strathmore Venom lacrosse team.

Over the weekend, the Venom wrapped up their season, winning second place at provincials.

"They left it all on the floor in a competitive final against the Medicine Hat Sun Devils and showed determination, progress, and true Venom spirit all season long," wrote the club through social media.

The victory came two weeks after the boys achieved a 7-5 win against the Hornets, taking home the league championship.
