We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you. Thanks for helping to make the Citizen possible!
Hey Insiders, it’s Krista 👋
We are excited to show you some additions to the Saturday newsletters starting next week to give you even more bang for your buck when it comes to your support for us. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without your support and it’s our way of saying thank you! We also want to know if you would be interested in participating in a member profile of our members in the main newsletter as another bonus for your support. We still need to nail down the details, but we want to know if it’s something you would be interested in seeing and being a part of. We could showcase YOU or if you are shy, you could nominate someone you know - maybe your sister owns a business, or your child is an artist. Let us know in the poll if this is something you would be interested in. Thank you again for helping us be a part of your day!

Jeryn Edwards’ sons Jaxson and Joseph are happy, playful and full As their grandmother Beverley Kieken puts it, “they love each other so much. They’re always reaching for each other’s hands and they share a special bond.”
Miikka Kiprusoff, who always seemed so calm, so cool, so composed when he was standing in the Calgary Flames’ crease, is admittedly nervous as all heck. Favourite player I've ever played with': Flames' Markstrom on 'ultimate teammate' Tanev. “I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. I know it’s going to be amazing,” said Kiprusoff, now 47.
Eighteen new schools will be built in the Calgary region in the coming years, Alberta government officials announced Friday.

Almost six years to the day since Lloyd’s closed its roller-skating rink on Macleod Trail, a brand-new venue is opening on 42nd Avenue S.E. House of Skate has been created by two local entrepreneurs and avid skaters — Kathleen (Roxy) Janzen and Theresa Tucci — to offer roller-skating enthusiasts a permanent facility and introduce the activity to more Calgarians. This is how they did it.
Cochrane RCMP are on scene at a multi-vehicle collision in the westbound lanes of the Trans Canada Highway at the intersection of Highway 40 on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation. A release issued just before 5 p.m. said traffic was at a stand still and will be for some time while vehicles are removed from roads.
