Opinions
Appreciating what we have
Here in Lethbridge, people rail about the lack of a third bridge across the river, the fact we are without a multi-purpose leisure centre, the need for a new performing-arts theatre and the strong gusts of wind citizens battle almost daily.
Respect for cyberspace
Parents' safety talks with their kids used to focus on preparing them for potential dangers beyond the yard - things like traffic and strangers. These days, kids need to be prepared for a much bigger world - the vast expanse of cyberspace. And it, too, has its potential hazards.
Big plans for Ex
Exhibition Park has been a long-time institution in the city, with a history that dates back to the organization's formation in 1897 and followed by the park's construction in 1912.
Agreement brings labour peace
After months of posturing on both sides, a four-year agreement between the provincial government and Alberta's teachers will pave the way for four years of labour peace.
What good is a toothless watchdog?
The federal government has officially begun the search for a replacement for Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page. Judging from the job posting, one might expect that an important but unstated qualification might be "must wear dentures," since it seems the Harper government is seeking a toothless PBO.
In praise of our great kids
To be sure, there are some bad applies in every basket, but it's important to remember that the young generation has a great many positive examples and they don't often seem to get the respect they deserve.
One size doesn't necessarily fit all
The province is drawing closer to its long-planned centralization of ambulance dispatch. The aim is to get rid of the patchwork of systems and create a streamlined dispatch service that levels the playing field across the province.
Respecting our diversity
A number of guest speakers will grace the university this week, with the hope the themes, discussion items and topics examined will live on well past the one-week event, and spark some real thought and introspection surrounding just how diverse Canada, and Lethbridge, has become.
Cultural icon will be missed
There have been few citizens of this vast country as iconically Canadian as Stompin' Tom Connors.
The renowned country-folk singer-songwriter who died Wednesday at age 77 wore his patriotism with outspoken pride and was a tireless promoter of the Canadian identity.
Keeping workers safe
Spencer Beach's powerful story, told at a safety conference in Lethbridge on Tuesday, highlights the importance of workplace safety.
The Human Resources and Skills Development Canada website says there are close to 1,000 deaths from work-related injuries or diseases every year.
