Beaver Display May 20, 2010	There has been a unique display at Police Point Park the past few days. A beaver display was set up to inform the public about these industrious rodents. Jesse Beyer has more.
Used Cars May 2010, 2010	The province's transportation department is amping up regulations for used car assessments at dealerships. Alberta Transportation is now making a complete mechanical assessment mandatory prior to a sale. Previously dealerships only had to indicate the overall condition of the vehicle without the full evaluation. As Ina Sidhu reports, it's welcome news for one local dealership who has been following similar guidelines for years.
Irma Oil May 20, 2010	An Alberta company has been cleaning up oil spills in our province for decades. They've developed a new product to mop up oil -- and they say it could be applied to the clean up in the Gulf Coast. Reporter Kyle Bakx has the story.
Teacher Layoffs May 19, 2010	For over a month we have followed the story of kindergarten cuts in our city. Changes in provincial funding have forced both public and Catholic school boards to roll back their thriving full day programs, to only half day service next year. While some parents have made their concerns heard, now we are seeing the first real fallout from the decision. Scott Cunningham has the latest.
Bike Lanes May 18, 2010	There has been a lot of discussion about whether or not to repaint the bike lanes in Crescent Heights. It went to the vote last night at City Council, and as Jesse Beyer tells us --- there were definitely some different points of view.
Cultural Centre Fallout May 18, 2010	A collection of arts groups are still scrambling -- after receiving a letter from the city -- stating they may need to find a new home. The city leases space for them in the Cultural Centre. But that building is owned by the college, which now wants to use the space. It's left the city between a rock and a hard place, trying to satisfy both groups. Reporter Kyle Bakx explains.
Gulf Oil Hair May 17, 2010	B-P says it hopes to fully stop the flow of oil from its ruptured well into the Gulf of Mexico by later this week. Still crude has gushed into the waters for almost four weeks - 24 hours a day - making the clean up as big an issue as the capping of the well. Scott Cunningham now with a unlikely story of a Medicine Hat woman fighting to save the Gulf coast.
