The City of Calgary has launched a goat program to control invasive plants.

Is this something we could do in Cochrane? I would love to see goats munching away on weeds at Riverview Park, Cochrane Ranche, and Mitford Pond.

After selling snacks outside her house for weeks at her 'Space Station Snacks,' Isabella Lauzon is over the moon, quite literally, after finally receiving her telescope, thanks to the support of her community.

She looked out of her telescope for the first time a couple of nights ago, and she was so excited to see the moon.

Her mother, Haley Lauzon, reflected on the overwhelming support they received.

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

I often think of my late father, George, at this time of year.

Mid-September meant it was time for him to put away the golf clubs and the spikes and shine up the shotgun and the boots for hunting season. 

We'd pack a lunch and head out to the country, looking for ducks and geese, partridge and prairie chicken.

With the fall season just days away, the SLS Centre has announced the spray park is closing this weekend for the season.

"Sunday, September 22 is the final day to splash around before we close for the winter," reads a post on the SLS Centre's Facebook page. "Winterization starts Monday, September 23, so don't miss your last chance to soak up some fun."

The spray park returned this July after major repairs were required to the area.
