Riverside Rink January 28, 2010	There are 21 outdoor skating rinks in Medicine Hat. But this winter, one sheet of ice is getting much more attention than the others. A newly renovated facility opened on Christmas Eve in Riverside. It's turning out to be quite the success -- it opened ahead of schedule, with a lower price tag than originally estimated, and has been a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. And as Kyle Bakx reports, there's a chance that similar projects could be built elsewhere in the city.
Facebook Generation January 28, 2010	More than 350-million people worldwide are active users. Facebook has revolutionized the way we communicate - and also the way companies are marketing themselves. As Ina Sidhu reports -- locally, businesses are getting the message they need to adapt to attract the "Facebook Generation."
MHC Theatre Renovation January 27, 2010	They say "there is no business like show business " yet for the Medicine Hat College there actually has been NO business.

No So Devine January 27, 2010	The economic downturn may be a strong contributor to a 3rd street business shutting its doors -- at least for now. Just this weekend Hatters enjoyed their final meals at DeVine Grill - the upscale restaurant located in the heart of downtown. As Ina Sidhu reports, while this may be a sign of the times, some feel the core is still a good place for businesses to be.
Green Land January 26, 2010	Meanwhile - the city is hoping the third time is the charm for an alternative energy project in the south east. Twice a plot of land has been advertised for an expression of interest, and twice the city hasn't had a bite. Scott Cunningham now with a look at what is keeping officials so motivated to develop the green project.
Southlands Housing January 26, 2010	With funding already secured to build a new affordable housing complex in Medicine Hat -- the city just needs to find a suitable site. Today, a committee chose a spot in the Southlands, making it the fourth such project in that area. But with apartment buildings experiencing near-record vacancy levels -- is the city going to make that situation worse?? Reporter Kyle Bakx takes a look.
Gym Memberships January 25, 2010	We all know how easy it is to make excuses to avoid the gym. Whether its too far, too busy -- or you're feeling too tired. Especially in January when many of us vow to get back in shape, its not uncommon to see sales and traffic soar at health clubs -- then start to taper off. Ina Sidhu talked to the experts - who say picking the right club is the key to sticking to a program.
