BC Ferries says it has been forced to pull the Queen of Alberni from service today, impacting sailings between Nanaimo and West Vancouver.

It says the repairs are ``significant'' and there is a chance that sailings will be impacted tomorrow as well.

Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog says disruptions like this have a lasting impact on the Vancouver Island economy and his community.

He says more needs to be done to ensure the ferries are a reliable service in the province.

Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next panel received a relatively warm welcome from a crowd in Lethbridge during the seventh stop of its provincewide tour taking the public's temperature on Alberta's relationship with Ottawa. The friendly audience was interspersed with pushback from people in attendance who voiced their displeasure with the government and many of the proposals being put forward. The town halls are aimed at addressing grievances Smith says are allowing separatist sentiments to fester and the results are to inform which questions may be put to a referendum next year.

Alberta's Smith says tight budget means teachers face a stark choice in bargaining

With a provincewide teachers strike looming, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says their union has a stark choice between heftier pay hikes and more teachers.
