Alberta is still dealing with 67 active wildfires. Saskatchewan has over 20,  while Wednesday morning Manitoba had five.

The wildfire situation has not only resulted in the evacuation of thousands of people, but livestock as well leaving producers struggling to try and relocate animals.

Brodie Haugan, Chair of the Alberta Beef Producers says you might not think of it,  but just like people livestock have to be evacuated.

An international tennis tournament is returning to Fort Saskatchewan this summer. 

The Mesa Tennis Tournament, which has roots in the community, will set up shop in the Fort in mid-July. 

"It started in Fort Saskatchewan with a small group of about 24 people as a put-together thing and from there it grew," said Raymond Courchesne, an organizer of the Mesa Regal Tennis Group. 

The tournament has not been able to be hosted over the last three years due to COVID, and it is likely that this one will be the last. 

There will be some delays in Fort Saskatchewan starting next week. 

The city announced that work on surface reconstruction on 95 Street will officially begin on Monday (May 29).

The project is expected to be completed in late July. In the meantime, a temporary detour will be set up. 

Here is a look at the detour map provided by the city:

Strathcona County RCMP arrested a man last week for an alleged kidnapping. 

Police say the case started when received a complaint on May 11 that detailed an armed kidnapping that happened in mid-April. 

RCMP received the report from a woman who claimed to be the victim of the kidnapping. The complaint involved the woman going to a Sherwood Park residence in mid-April to retrieve some belongings when she was allegedly assaulted by a man she knew, who had a weapon. 

Special rapporteur David Johnston says that a formal inquiry into foreign interference is not needed, but he will hold his own public hearings about the issue sometime this year. 

The former governor general said an inquiry cannot be undertaken in public because of the sensitivity of the intelligence involved, and there would be considerable overlap with the work that he has already been doing to investigate the issue of alleged foreign meddling in the last two federal elections.
