The advisory, posted May 30, applies to Gunnery Mountain, Gunnery Creek Trail and the Highwood Compound Provincial Recreation Area. It remains in effect until further notice.

“Cougars can be encountered anywhere in the Kananaskis Region and at any time,” the warning states. “Make plenty of noise and travel in groups. Be aware of your surroundings. Look and listen for cougars and their signs. Keep your pet on a leash.”

Last week, it was announced that Chris Glass received the Mr. Airdrie Memorial Award in honour of Keith Wilkinson.

Glass is the second person to receive the yearly award, Mike Reist was the first to receive it.

Earlier this month, Mountain View County (MVC) unveiled their new honorary livestock brand.

Shelley French, Head of Communications at Mountain View County, shared that the council believed the standard brand lacked strong ties to the current state of MVC.

"We undertook a process of obtaining or changing the current registered brand. We went to the Livestock Identification Services to determine what the factors are involved in registering a standard brand or an honorary brand."

The Chinook's Edge Board of Trustees recently approved the Education Plan for the 2025-2026 school year.

According to the board, through the plan, the Board and division articulate its continued focus for work around three pillars: academic excellence, social emotional well-being and career connections.

Canada's premiers are heading into to a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saskatoon Monday armed with their wish lists for major "nation-building" projects that could buttress the economy in the face of a U.S. trade war.

Carney asked the premiers to each pass on five suggestions for national infrastructure projects, and Monday's meeting will aim to identify the ones that will make the final cut to be fast tracked using legislation Ottawa may introduce as early as this week.

Canada Post has rejected a request from the union representing about 55,000 of its workers to send their ongoing labour dispute to binding arbitration.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers made the request in a statement Saturday, saying it was inviting Canada Post to a fair, final and binding arbitration process to resolve negotiations that have dragged on for months without producing a new collective agreement. 

Residents who spent Saturday basking in 31°C heat may need to dig out frost covers before bed.

Environment Canada is warning of a low of plus 2°C overnight, with a risk of frost in the Airdrie region — a sharp drop of nearly 30 degrees from the day’s high.

The sudden dip comes amid a fast-moving air mass expected to clear skies after a brief chance of evening showers and thunderstorms.

As Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argues the government's plan to speed up key infrastructure projects doesn't go far enough, some Indigenous leaders are accusing Ottawa of not giving them enough time to weigh in.

The government is developing a bill to fast-track what it calls nation-building projects with a streamlined regulatory approval process as a substitute for reviews under the Impact Assessment Act, also known as C-69.

While the federal government and cities across Canada are making strides on expanding the housing supply, the provinces still need to get serious about building quality homes, a new report released Thursday argues.

No province earned a grade higher than C+ in the report assembled by the Task Force for Housing and Climate, a non-governmental body that was struck in 2023 with backing from the philanthropic Clean Economy Fund.

The task force's "report card" evaluated governments based on their policies for building homes quickly and sustainably.
