Shortly after releasing one trailer for a movie filmed in Alberta, TUBI released another last week for an Alberta-shot movie.

The official trailer for Wynonna Earp: Vengeance showcased that the movie will be released sometime on the TUBI streaming service in the fall.

According to IMDB  "Wynonna Earp is coming home to battle her greatest foe yet: a psychotic seductress hellbent on revenge against her...and everyone she loves."

A made-in-Alberta film shot partly north of Airdrie in Didsbury will premiere worldwide this month at one of the most prestigious film festivals.

Starting August 6, The Town of Didsbury is implementing level-one water restrictions and a fire ban.

The reason for the water restrictions and fire ban is because of repairs that needed to be done to the Butte Standpipe which has some seepage. The pipe plays a key role when it comes to supplying water to residents.
