Strathcona County RCMP arrest man for 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. 

Johnston advises against inquiry, but aims to hold hearings on foreign interference

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.

Fort Saskatchewan changes fields and parks update system

A few changes have been made to the City of Fort Saskatchewan's sports field and parks update system. 

The city announced last week that it would be ditching its old email system in favour of an interactive map on its website. 

The map will now allow people to track whether fields or parks are open or closed. 

Updates to the map are expected to be made every weekday at 3 p.m. 

If the weather becomes unfavourable after that time, the decision will be left up to the sports leagues using the area to determine if it is safe for players to use it.
