Oil Spill Threatens Chestermere Lake | Calgary News

An oil spill in southeast Calgary sent motor oil and hydraulic fluid into the canal feeding Chestermere Lake, forcing authorities to shut off inflows to contain the mess. Firefighters deployed a vacuum truck to clean the slick, causing lake levels to drop nearly a meter—but officials confirmed the oil didn’t enter the lake. Water flow resumed by Saturday, and the Western Irrigation District expects levels to normalize by Monday. A stark reminder of how far-reaching environmental incidents can be—and how quickly communities can respond. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Saskatchewan RCMP Station Destroyed by Fire | Calgary News

A fire tore through a police detachment in Morse, Saskatchewan, over the weekend—luckily, no one was hurt since the building was empty. But the blaze got tougher when a fire hydrant that had been inspected just months prior suddenly failed. Fire investigators are now on the case, with no signs of foul play yet. Despite the loss, the RCMP remain fully operational, with officers from Swift Current stepping in to cover the area. Services like criminal record checks are temporarily relocated to Swift Current, about 60 km away, but operations continue without interruption.
