Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in a collision that resulted in the death of a man on Saturday.  Airdrie Rural RCMP said officers responded to the fatal two-vehicle collision near Range Road 285 and Highway 564 just before midnight.  Police said a motorcycle struck the side of a Dodge Ram truck while it […]

Showers and puddles may have kept a few away but for fans who made it down to Olympic Plaza enjoyed a great afternoon and evening  of music at the Sled Island Music Festival.

The game was played indoors, but Dave Dickenson’s head coaching debut finished in Rainey fashion. Chris Rainey, that is. The B.C. Lions’ explosive returner and change-of-pace running back scored a pair of second half touchdowns to help the home side erase a 17-6 deficit and spoil Dickenson’s first game calling the shots for the Calgary Stampeders. While the 20-18 loss wasn’t the way the Stamps wanted to get the 2016 CFL season started, it was jubilation on the Leos sideline in Wally Buono’s return thanks to Rainey.

The ethical conduct of a Hollywood production and their hired Albertan animal wrangler are in question after five bison carcasses were used for the Ice Age period film The Solutrean.

When Amy Forward entered OneWalk to Conquer Cancer, her mother, Helen, was alive. “I hoped she would be there at the finish line,” Forward said. But she wasn’t. Diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in spring 2015, Helen passed away in April. Forward, 38, walked anyways. She was one of hundreds who raised nearly $1 […]

John Deering and Gerry MacDonald are shooting for an unprecedented double. Just two weeks back, the birdie-seeking buddies — both regulars on the fairways and greens at Inglewood — triumphed at the Calgary Golf Association’s Richmond Equity Best Ball, teaming to shave 10 strokes off par at the two-day stroke-play event.

The Calgary Hitmen are not an exclusive talent pipeline for the Philadelphia Flyers. It just seems that way.

A Calgary couple is calling on government bodies to ensure the safety of their facilities after their 20-month daughter fell into a septic tank through an unsecured lid at an information centre in Saskatchewan.

Gathered at Grandma Gail’s brand new house in Chesterfield, Mich., with 90 of his friends and family, the house burst into cheers when Tyler Parsons was announced as the Calgary Flames’ second-round (54th overall) pick at the 2016 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

The St. Louis Blues are making a loud statement. That Jake Allen, and nobody else, is their go-to goalie – now and going forward. Which allows the netminder-needy Calgary Flames to chime in with their own declaration of competence. That they employ a bona fide puck-stopper. Finally. Really.

The Calgary Stampede is just a few weeks away. As the city gears up for the 10-day annual celebration of the western spirit, Stampede officials provided a behind-the-scenes look Saturday at safety preparations for the parade that will kick the whole thing off.
