Airdrie RCMP say the increased police presence near Mackenzie Way SW and Channelside Way SW concluded just before noon on Wednesday.

Officers had earlier advised the public of a visible presence in the area due to an ongoing investigation. At the time, Mounties stated there was no risk to the public and said updates would be provided when appropriate.

No additional details about the nature of the investigation have been released.

This is a developing story.

A man who was previously reported missing in Airdrie has been found safe, say RCMP.

The individual had last been seen on Friday, April 18 at approximately 2:45 p.m. in the city. Police issued a public request for assistance earlier this week, stating they were concerned for the man’s well-being and hoping to speak with him.

At the time, investigators released a physical description and noted what the man had been wearing when he was last seen. On Wednesday, Airdrie RCMP confirmed the individual had been located. No further details are being released.

With spring finally here, work has started for the Airdrie Urban Farm Collective.

The collective is a registered non-profit organization. They are growing food and learning together as a community of all ages and stages.
