Strathmore

Shelby Boisjoli is originally from Langdon and went to high school in Chestermere.

Now she's a Ladies Breakaway Roping champion.

The Calgary Stampede recently announced that it would add the program to its list of sanctioned events for the 2025 Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

Chestermere RCMP asked the public for help to find a missing teenager on Friday morning.

According to police, 16-year-old Kristine Wyborn was last seen at St. Gabriel High School on Mar. 13.

Hours after her disappearance was announced by police, Wyborn was located safe. 

Mark Carney has been officially sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister in a ceremony at Rideau Hall, about an hour after Justin Trudeau formally resigned.

Carney told reporters on his way into the ceremony that his government is focused and ready to get to work.

The 2025 town-wide food drive, hosted by the Strathmore Fire Department and Holy Cross Collegiate, was a huge success.

In early March the firefighters dropped off 2,000 bags in five neighbourhoods across town to fill with products for the Wheatland County Food Bank.

According to the fire department, they brought in a total of 4,871.95 pounds of food, as well as $220 in cash.

Canadian officials said a Thursday meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was constructive and lowered temperatures amid the ongoing trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump last month — but they expected no immediate changes to punishing tariffs. 

"This was a constructive discussion," said Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne in Washington. "We have our disagreements, but as long as you have dialogue you are making progress."

Mark Carney will be sworn in as prime minister this morning at Rideau Hall, where he will also reveal his new cabinet.

Carney won the Liberal leadership race last weekend with an overwhelming 86 per cent of the votes from Liberal members.

He officially takes over from Justin Trudeau as prime minister in today's ceremony.

His first cabinet is expected to be smaller than Trudeau's 37-member team, and some ministers are set to lose their positions.

Heavy fog that enveloped Strathmore early Thursday morning has now ended.

Environment and Climate Change Canada previously issued an advisory to residents warning them to drive with caution while out on the roads.

Strathmore will slowly start to phase out of selling American liquor following an order from Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC).

On March 6 AGLC stopped accepting liquor products from the United States as a response to tariffs made against Canada last month.

Although no more American booze will be coming into Alberta, retailers are allowed to continue selling their remaining stock. 

"Labelling on shelves to indicate Canadian product is encouraged in liquor stores but is not mandatory," wrote AGLC on its website.

Strathmore Town Council was presented a report on removing garage and garden suites from the town's land use bylaw.

Council discussed the report at their meeting on Mar. 13, ending with a motion to vote on removing the suites at the next committee of the whole meeting. The motion was passed 4-3.

Mayor Pat Fule, who introduced the motion to create the report, said there is no longer a need for garage and garden suites in Strathmore.

Seniors from Lambert Village in Strathmore are asking the town to remove snow from Parklane Way.

The group sent in a petition that garnered 80 signatures. 

Despite the signatures, Johnathan Strathdee, manager of communications, marketing, and legislative services with the town said the petition won't be accepted.
