A former Calgary teacher has been charged with sexually assaulting two students in the 1990s. Police say they were made aware of the allegations last year when the male complainants came forward.

They say one had tutoring sessions with the teacher after school, where it's believed the man inappropriately touched the 12-year-old. Police say the second student, also 12 at the time, didn't have classes with the teacher but spent a great deal of time with him and was allegedly assaulted at the man's home and in his vehicle.

The accused, who is now 80, faces five charges, including two counts of sexual assault with a child under 16. He is to appear in court in March.

Desjardins warns Ottawa’s tax cuts and tariff rollback deepening federal deficit

A new economic analysis from Desjardins suggests the federal government’s fiscal position has weakened significantly ahead of next month’s fall budget, largely due to recent income tax cuts and the removal of counter-tariffs on U.S. goods. In a report released Tuesday, Desjardins deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett said Ottawa’s deficit could climb to $74.5 billion this fiscal year — about $6 billion higher than the parliamentary budget officer’s most recent projection.

Frontline RCMP officers in the West Shore area are now equipped with body-worn cameras as part of a new initiative aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in policing.

Officers have received training on the proper use of the technology, including how and when to activate the devices and how to securely store recorded footage.

Vote counting resumes in municipal elections across Alberta

Vote counting in Alberta's municipal and school board elections has resumed. Few results were available after polls closed Monday night, as rule changes made by Premier Danielle Smith's government require votes be counted by hand rather than with machines. As of this morning, fewer than 25 per cent of polls for Edmonton's mayoral race have reported, with longtime councillor Andrew Knack leading over fellow councillor Tim Cartmell. In Calgary, unofficial results have former councillor Jeremy Farkas unseating incumbent mayor Jyoti Gondek, who has conceded. Jasper Mayor Richard Ire
