Company fined $10K in E. coli outbreak at Calgary daycares

A judge has fined a commercial kitchen company $10,000 for bylaw offences linked to an E. coli outbreak at Calgary daycares that saw hundreds of children fall ill. Fueling Minds Inc. pleaded guilty in April to four offences. A joint submission from lawyers recommended the fine. About 448 people were infected with E. coli, including 39 children and one adult who were hospitalized, in the fall of 2023. A report by Alberta Health Services says the outbreak was likely tied to meat loaf, but that it might never be determined how the bacteria got there. A lawyer for Fueling Minds has

Trump administration issues another warning to international students

The Trump administration has issued another warning to international students, stating that dropping out or skipping classes or leaving your course without informing the school may result in the cancellation of the student visa and your possibility of getting a visa for the US in the future may also be canceled. It is worth noting that the Trump administration is getting stricter about US visa rules and new instructions are being issued every day for visa conditions, due to which many students going to study in the US are at risk of being sent back to their countries.

White Rock RCMP appeals to be safe around tracks and trains

White Rock RCMP is reminding the public that trains can move without warning, stay off the tracks, follow signals and use designated crossings. On the evening of August 13, around 7:15 p.m., White Rock RCMP responded to a train stopped blocking the crossing near the pier head. While the train was stationary, some pedestrians, including parents with children crawled under it or walked along the tracks instead of using the Balsam Street crossing. This is extremely dangerous. A stopped train can move without warning, and anyone underneath or on the tracks is at serious risk of injury or death. Po

Officials hope rain clear heavy smoke from wildfire near Port Alberni, B.C.

Officials on Vancouver Island are hoping rain in the forecast can help clear up the air quality muddied by an out-of-control wildfire. The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District says wildland firefighters have said the rain may improve air quality locally, but that it's hard to be certain. The west central region is under an air quality statement, along with parts of Vancouver Island's east coast and the Sunshine coast region on the B.C. mainland. The intense Mount Underwood wildfire has grown to more than 34 square kilometres, with fire behaviour that the BC Wildfire Service says is "unusual" fo
