The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP was asking for help finding a missing teenager. 

Police say Rowin McIntyre was last seen at around 10 p.m. on Monday (Sept. 5) in Fort Saskatchewan. 

"McIntyre has been located safe. Thank you to the public for your assistance in this matter," Mounties said in an update on Wednesday morning. 

There was a general concern for the 17-year-old's well-being.

Farmers are making good progress with the harvest. 

The Alberta Crop Report shows harvest is now 17 per cent complete, up from 7 per cent the previous week, and ahead of the 10-year average of 14 per cent.

Harvest is most advanced in the South which includes Strathmore, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Foremost now has 49 per cent of the crop has been swathed or combined.   The area did see some localized rains which slowed harvest but with the dry soils farmers were able to get back to the harvest fairly quickly.

Two Fort Saskatchewan women are reflecting on the journey of a lifetime. 

Dorothy Loy and Janet Fisher recently walked the Camino de Santiago, a 790-kilometre trail and ancient pilgrimage route in Spain. Loy and Fisher hiked the Frances trailhead, which begins in the French town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and is one of several routes leading to the final destination of Santiago, Spain. 

According to a recent survey, most Canadians are not ready to scrap "best before" dates on food products.

In recent months, several grocers in Europe have opted to eliminate "best before" dates with the intention to reduce food waste.

The survey, which was conducted by the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, in partnership with Angus Reid, showed that only 27% of Canadians either strongly support or support eliminating "best before" dates.

The recent closures of the Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital's labour and delivery unit have reached the ears of the federal government. 

Morinville native Randy Boissonnault, who serves as the federal minister of tourism and associate minister of finance, was in the area last week to speak with Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association. 

In an interview with FortSaskOnline, Boissonnault said that the federal government can only do so much to help hospitals operate. 

The pride of Bruderheim can add another World Championship to her list of growing achievements. 

Emerance Maschmeyer, who played goal for Team Canada's national women's team, became a world champion after the Canadians defeated the Americans in the finals last Sunday (Sept. 4).

Maschmeyer might not have been in the net for the final game, but she did play in two games throughout the tournament. The first was a dominant 9-0 shut-out win over Japan, while the other was a hard-fought 5-2 loss against the USA in round-robin play. 

A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.

"This is a huge area, and there's a whole lot of nothing," said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk. "There's a lot of places people can hide."

Her comments come as police continue to search for 30-year-old Myles Sanderson. Police say he may be injured, is considered dangerous and should not be approached.

A fugitive wanted in a deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan has a nearly two-decade-long criminal record and a propensity for violence when intoxicated, a parole board document says.

The Parole Board of Canada document from February says Myles Sanderson told the board that regular use of drugs and hard alcohol would make him "lose (his) mind" and get angry.

“Your criminal history is very concerning, including the use of violence and weapons-related to your index offences, and your history of domestic violence,” said the document obtained by The Canadian Press.

Many of the vegetables we grow in our gardens produce seeds, which, if harvested and stored correctly, have the potential to grace us with free plants. And late summer is the perfect time to start collecting them.

A few notes: Make sure the plants from which you’re collecting seeds are heirloom, or open-pollinated, varieties. These are plants in their original forms whose seeds will produce plants with the same qualities as their parent.

Police say one of two suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan is still at large.

They say 30-year-old Myles Sanderson may be injured, adding he is considered dangerous and should not be approached.

The body of the other suspect in the attacks, 31-year-old Damian Sanderson, was discovered outdoors in a grassy area on the James Smith Cree Nation on Monday, not far from one of the crime scenes.
