As part of the pivot from licensed childcare services to programs for youth, BGC Clearwater (formerly Boys and Girls Club) is selling their long-standing home and club house and will be operating programs out of other locations within the Clearwater community.  

BGC and Youth HQ recently decided that this would be a better use of United Way and FCSS funding support and want to utilize funding responsibly and not take on the continued financial responsibility of the building.  

The Town of Olds is shifting how it manages select green spaces and shrub beds by embracing naturalization—converting low-use or difficult-to-maintain areas into more natural, self-sustaining landscapes.

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to unite the country and govern for all after Canadians handed the Liberals a fourth consecutive mandate in Monday's federal election.

"Who is ready," he shouted to cheers and applause and people chanting his name in a crowded hockey arena in Ottawa in the wee hours of the morning. "Who is ready? Who is ready to stand up for Canada with me? And who is ready to build Canada strong?"

Prime Minister Mark Carney will lead a minority government after a very close general election race that left the Liberals just three seats shy of a majority. 

Just before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Elections Canada showed the Liberals projected to win 169 ridings after flipping one riding in Quebec from the Bloc Québécois earlier in the day. 

The Conservatives won 144 seats and will form the official Opposition again. The Bloc Québécois followed with 22 seats, the NDP with seven projected seats and the Green Party with one seat.

Jagmeet Singh says he will step down as the leader of the NDP as soon as a new interim leader is chosen.

Singh conceded defeat in his British Columbia riding of Burnaby Central and the party is at risk of losing official party status.

With the NDP at risk of losing official party status — and after losing his own riding — Singh said he'd be stepping down as leader once the party selects an interim replacement.

"We may lose sometimes and those losses hurt," Singh said, fighting emotion as he stood beside his wife on a stage in Burnaby, B.C.

The last polls in British Columbia and Yukon closed at 10 p.m. EDT, following the Prairies and the other territories half an hour earlier.
