A series of earthquakes in northern Alberta was strong enough that many felt it right here in Fort Saskatchewan.

Some residents may have felt their house shaking shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday (Nov. 29).

In a Facebook post asking about the shaking, residents from Gibbons, Sherwood Park, and even Wetaskiwin responded saying they felt it as well. 

This shake was caused by a series of earthquakes 26 kilometres away from Peace River. 

While affordability and health care were key features of the Throne speech that Premier Danielle Smith prepared for the opening of the Fourth Session of the Thirtieth Legislature on Tuesday afternoon in Edmonton, it was the Sovereignty within a United Canada Act that she introduced into the legislature later on Tuesday afternoon that was the focal point of her not only her speech but also a key campaign promise she was intent on delivering.

It's been a long journey for the Harbour Pool in Fort Saskatchewan. 

In less than a month the pool will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. 

Opening on December 17, 1982, the facility was built over a 10-month period and cost about $3.3 million dollars to construct. Upon opening, they featured a functional leisure pool. 

Naomi Switzer, acting supervisor of aquatics operations at the Harbour Pool, says that there were some much loftier expectations for the pool when it was initially built. 

Employees from a Morinville restaurant saved two men from a fire earlier this month.

According to a Facebook post from Morinville Asian Garden, a restaurant in the town, two of their employees used a ladder to help people on the second floor of the Morinville Plaza Hotel and Suites.

"We were lucky to save two dudes from the second floor that got trapped by the smoke," read the Facebook post.

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney resigned as a member of the legislature on Tuesday, the same day his successor introduced her flagship sovereignty bill in the legislature, of which he had been a staunch critic.  

In a signed letter posted on Kenney's verified Twitter account, he says the resignation is effective immediately and that it has been a privilege to have represented the constituency of Calgary Lougheed since 2017.

The rollercoaster weather is set to take another dive into the negatives. 

As we creep into December, it appears that colder-than-usual temperatures could also creep into the forecast as early as this week. 

We've already seen some negative days in the low to mid-teens, but things are expected to ramp up. 

Danielle Desjardins with Environment Canada says that a cold snap will hit most of the prairies. 

Results from the 2022 provincial volleyball playdowns have arrived. 

Four local high school men's and women's teams were in action in this year's tournaments. 

The Salisbury men and women participated in the 4A division tourney this year and came home with mixed results. 

Salisbury's men's team came into the tournament ranked as the top seed but faced some harsh competition before ultimately bowing out in the quarterfinals in an intense five-set match against Ross Sheppard. They finished fifth in the tournament. 

Canadians enjoying a brief relief from the onset of winter-like conditions may want to enjoy the temperatures while they can because The Weather Network is forecasting a colder-than-normal start to winter across most of the country.

The network’s winter outlook says a La Niña – a weather pattern characterized by cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean – is returning for a rare third winter, likely meaning colder and snowier weather through December.

Today is Giving Tuesday and the Nature Conservancy of Canada is asking people to help them conserve some of the country's most
important forests, wetlands, grasslands and coastal areas.

On this day, all gifts to NCC will be matched, meaning people can double their donations and make a major impact by protecting important habitats and the wildlife they sustain.

Native grasslands are among the most endangered ecosystems in the world, and their loss means that many native species are now critically endangered.
