Corb Lund dropped 200,000+ signatures to stop open-pit coal mining in the Rockies. Massive win. But here's the catch: if Elections Alberta doesn't count them by July 1, the referendum gets delayed to 2029. Email your MLA this week or watch it disappear.

Wedgewood Ravine is absolutely lush and green right now after the rain. 2 km round trip hike, short but those hills are brutal. Supposedly an unpaved trail heads down to the river if you're exploring.
something's happening outside Cranleigh Towers in Strathcona — ambulance, police, investigators all on scene this morning. Still developing.
