Strathmore

Lovely Libby-

This sweet dog has been a guest at Alpine View Pet Spa and is a lovely-lovely-lovely girl.

She is looking for a new home with a family who can give her pets and has a fenced yard.

Members of Strathmore Town Council will meet on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. to discuss funding requests from local organizations.

"The meeting will allow council to hear the requests from the community and to allocate funds that will fit within the Town of Strathmore's budget and align with council's strategic priorities," wrote the town on its website.

According to the town, the meeting requests will be looked over by administration and council to find an exact number of funds that can be allocated in the upcoming 2025 budget.

Beasley Male, DSH Grey. Polydactyl

You will never find Beasley far from his brother's side. In an ideal world we would like these two kept together but for the right home we will consider separating them. Beasley is bold and confident. Loves snuggles when he is not in play mode.

Sebastian, DSH Dilute Orange Tabby Male, Polydactyl 4-5months

Sebastian is a little more confident. Still will hiss and hide with new experiences (for example hearing a blanket get shook out for the first time). He will occasionally cough but the vet has not found anything of concern regarding this. He does not leave his brothers side often. And if they go to a home with a timid cat they will give chase. Both love snuggles when they are not in play mode.

The Calgary Co-op grocery store in Strathmore's Edgefield community temporarily closed during the morning on Wednesday (Oct. 23).

According to staff with the store, the closure is due to a blown transformer. However, they mentioned that FortisAlberta will be bringing in a new one to fix the issue.

The Co-op gas bar, which is right next to the grocery store, remains open, but its debit and credit card machines are not working.

An update will be provided once the grocery store is open again. 

Wheatland EMS has announced a document to support good Samaritans, following a drowning death in Strathmore back in June.

The initiative was sparked by Melissa, a bystander who tried to save the drowning man. According to EMS, Melissa's last name was not released. The Strathmore woman was impacted by the traumatic incident and felt that first responders disregarded her.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls for his resignation for more than a year now but in recent weeks those calls have grown louder and in some cases more public.

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday and Trudeau is expected to be confronted by a group of MPs who have banded together to try and finally convince him to go.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of this meeting.
