With the renovated Enmax Centre due for its coming out party in 2013, the timing might well be right for a Lethbridge bid to host that year’s MasterCard Memorial Cup.
The Lethbridge Hurricanes informed Lethbridge city council Tuesday of the Western Hockey League club’s intention to apply for the 2013 Canadian junior hockey championship tournament and council gave its blessing to the proposal. When the time comes for the Hurricanes to begin the official bid process, likely in October 2011, the city will be expected to chip in some money toward the effort.

In his Police Beat column in Monday’s Herald (“Sense of duty never goes off shift”), Lethbridge police Insp. Bill Kaye provided an interesting glimpse into one of the qualities of a dedicated law enforcement officer — and a good citizen.
Kaye’s column detailed instances in which local officers have stepped forward to provide help or do the right thing even when they’re off duty.
The article not only offers further reason to appreciate the men and women who work to keep our city safe, but it serves as a reminder that the quality of a community flows from the quality of its citizens. By choosing to “do the right thing” in their off-duty hours, these police officers demonstrate that they are more than just employees paid to serve the community; they are people who, as Kaye noted, “have a strong sense of what is right and wrong,” and they show a sense of responsibility to step up when needed.

The grand chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Shawn Atleo, speaking at the AFN’s annual assembly July 20, urged an end to the Indian Act governing First Nations people.
Indeed, the legislation has outlived its practicality.
Whatever sort of system would emerge in its place, it needs to, among other things, finally address an inequity which handcuffs thousands of aboriginal women across Canada.

It should serve as a wake-up call for all. The Canadian Medical Association Journal didn’t pull any punches this week, going on a full-out assault on energy drinks and their growing consumption by kids and teens.
They consider it an alarming health issue emerging as the beverages grow in popularity.
“Caffeine-loaded energy drinks have now crossed the line from beverages to drugs delivered as tasty syrups,” senior editors of the journal suggest in an editorial.
