Airdrie

Red Deer Minor Hockey says it is conducting an internal investigation after a video surfaced showing one of its coaches, former NHL player Nick Tarnasky, involved in a fight at a golf course.

The incident took place recently at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, just outside Red Deer.

Cochrane RCMP have laid additional charges against a former Springbank Community High School teacher following an ongoing investigation that began in January.

On July 8, 2025, Timothy Bailey (49), a resident of Calgary, was arrested and charged with the following:

• Accessing Child Pornography

• Possession of Child Pornography

Airdrie residents and businesses are being asked to take extra steps to reduce outdoor water use.

According to the City of Airdrie, even though recent rain and snowmelt have temporarily boosted river flows and reservoir levels, demand is rising as summer temperatures climb.

"The long-range forecast remains hot and dry, and with the Bow and Elbow Rivers supplying drinking water to more than 10 municipalities—including Airdrie—it’s essential we manage our shared supply carefully. Airdrie’s year-round watering schedule remains in effect."

Alberta has the most measles cases in North America on a per-capita basis, worrying experts who say summer events could push case counts even higher. 

The province’s former chief medical officers of health Dr. Mark Joffe says that’s twice the rate of confirmed cases in Ontario.

Ontario has been deemed Canada's epicentre of the outbreak in absolute case numbers, reporting 1,910 confirmed infections since its outbreak began in October, but with a population three times the size as Alberta.  

This summer has already been full of some awesome events in Airdrie and it's a great event if the crew from Air 106.1 is in attendance. Check out this list of events for the week where you can come by, say hello and enter in the Ram Everyday Adventure contest. (Contest ends September 6, 2025).

The stars of My Life With the Walter Boys weren’t the only big names turning heads at this year’s Calgary Stampede — from celebrity sightings on the grounds to a world-record pancake flip near a Calgary mall featuring an Airdrie teen, the 2025 edition served up more than just rodeo.

It’s RV season in Airdrie — but the curb’s not a campground. Under Traffic Bylaw B-30/2023, recreational vehicles can be parked directly beside the registered owner’s residence for up to 72 consecutive hours.

Once that limit is reached, the vehicle must be moved off the street for at least 48 hours before returning.

The hot sun beating down on the rodeo athletes on Tuesday didn't affect the overall scores.

However, it did heat up the standings in the aggregate, with Wednesday being the last day for Pool B contestants to qualify for Championship Sunday.

As far as local Albertans and Canadians, all eyes were on the Saddle Bronc riders as former Champion Zeke Thurston is in the hunt for another Championship.

Thurston, from Big Valley, Alberta, is a 3-time Calgary Stampede Saddle Bronc champion.
