A few things from the past few days

Ah, the allergies are back; spring is in the air.
Spring came a little late here in Alberta, but I am sure glad to have it here.

With the recent announcement by Alberta legislature that volunteer firefighters will be covered under workplace insurance for 14 different types of work-related cancer, Ponoka Fire Chief Ted Dillon and his crew can rest easy knowing that they will be taken care of if any of them may fall ill.

Steer on the loose

...Only in Ponoka.

Some fun spot news that happened today - hear a call on the scanner about a steer on the loose from the beef show & sale at the arena in Ponoka. Went cruising around to try to find it and soon enough, he ended up in a neighbourhood. He was eventually taken down four tranquilizer darts later. The steer is upset, but alive and healthy.
