“Photography is kind of dangerous.” Calgary artist Philip Kanwischer is struggling to boil down the message of Inhospitably Ours, part of a new joint exhibit at Window Galleries at Arts Common, into a few manageable words. The above sentence may not exactly do the trick. But it does have a certain ring of irony given that the 24-year-old is a […]

Tragedy befell a family camping in Castle Falls when a father accidentally drove over and killed his three-year-old child. RCMP in Pincher Creek say the incident happened Thursday evening when the father was moving his vehicle and severely injured the youngster. The child’s parents and others who witnessed the incident rushed the victim 40 km […]

The Calgary Stampeders absolutely had to put on a good show in front of the home-opener faithful. They absolutely did just that, dismantling the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a 36-7 count, before garbage-time took hold in the fourth quarter and a flattering 36-22 final was flashing on the McMahon Stadium scoreboard during Friday night’s Canada […]

If you tickle twine, take cover. That’s apparently the best practice for teammates of Brian Elliott, one of two netminding newbies for the Calgary Flames. “He’s an absolute competitor,” said right-winger Troy Brouwer, who backchecked and blocked shots for Elliott last winter in St. Louis and then joined him in Calgary during Friday’s free-agent frenzy. […]

Residents of Prestwick Terrace were out having dinner with family when their home went up in flames early Saturday evening. A friend who lives nearby called to let them know smoke and flames were billowing out of the southeast home about 5:30 p.m. Once the fire was out, most of the roof was gone. Firefighters […]

John Hufnagel is always looking for ways to improve his roster. Sometimes, even if he wanted to, the Calgary Stampeders GM simply can’t talk about them. When asked about disgruntled Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive end Shawn Lemon on Saturday afternoon, Hufnagel wouldn’t say much other than not going out of his way to shoot down talk […]

The 17th annual Otafest, a three-day anime festival, arrived in Calgary Saturday.  About 4,000 people from all over North America — many of them in costume as their favourite anime characters — come to the festival every year.  The conference started in 1999, and was hosted at the University of Calgary ever since, gradually ballooning […]

Scour the box scores of impressive offensive performances by the Calgary Stampeders, and you’re bound to find a common link. When Dave Dickenson’s offensive attack is rolling, as it was during Friday’s 36-22 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the home opener at McMahon Stadium, Marquay McDaniel is heavily involved. That was definitely the […]

Two people were seriously injured Saturday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision east of Calgary.

City police have charged a man in connection with a violent assault on a taxi driver that also resulted in a collision early Friday.

City police will hold town hall forums and create a new website of traffic safety statistics as part of a new strategy in response to city council's concerns about residential traffic safety.

Biking restrictions on Stephen Avenue will be in effect until the end of the Calgary Stampede, the City said. The City is asking cyclists on the stretch of Eighth Avenue between 3 St. S.W. to 1 St. S.E, which gets extremely crowded during Stampede, to dismount and walk their bikes from 10:30 a.m. to 2 […]

They called it the Beast. For nearly five months, the cramped RV rattled alongside a colourful convoy that included stately black Friesian horses, custom-made Gypsy wagons and an international roster of riders making an epic, 4,000-kilometre-plus trek from California to Florida. The Beast doesn’t get any screen time in Alberta filmmaker Margo McMaster’s documentary, The Caravan Film. It was not exactly camera-friendly. […]

Bystanders saved the life of a six-year-old girl who nearly drowned in Lake Chestermere Saturday, EMS said. EMS were called to Anniversary Park, on the shore of Lake Chestermere, for reports of a young girl floating face-down in the water at about 11:30 a.m. “Fortunately, she was floating close to the surface,” said EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux.
