Now that the new and improved Highway 15 bridge is open for two-lane traffic, what do Fort Saskatchewanites think about it?

The new bridge has been under construction since 2019. Before the addition, the Highway 15 bridge was a two-lane bridge with one lane going each direction.

Many are happy with the new bridge, with local resident Chris Gratton believing that the new bridge will help emergency services the most.

A police helicopter was seen scouring parts of Sturgeon County on Wednesday (Oct. 12) afternoon. 

This was due to the Morinville RCMP tracking a grey Chevrolet truck that allegedly had stolen property. 

Police reported trying a traffic stop with the truck, but it sped off into a farmer's field. RCMP vehicles then attempted to chase down the suspect but lost track of the truck. 

Mounties say they called in a helicopter to help but were unsuccessful. They did, however, recover a stolen skid steer trailer. 

Police have confirmed that a person died as a result of an accident that occurred last Tuesday (Oct. 4) on Highway 28 near Highway 216. 

Mounties believe a single vehicle traveling southbound on Highway 28 veered off the road and collided with a structure. 

The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle and was killed in the crash. 

Police have not revealed the identity of the deceased. 

No cause for why the vehicle left the highway has been announced.

Connor McDavid scored a hat trick and added an assist as the Oilers battled from a 3-0 deficit to take a 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday.

In an effort to send a message of unity, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has welcomed two former leadership rivals to serve as critics in Parliament — but he has also left out two of the party's more prominent names.

Ontario members of Parliament Scott Aitchison and Leslyn Lewis are among the group of 51 Tory MPs chosen to go head-to-head with Liberal government ministers on certain files, according to a list Poilievre's office released Wednesday. 

But well-known caucus members Ed Fast and Michelle Rempel Garner are off the list.
