Exshaw firefighters worked for seven hours to put out the devastating fire on Saturday morning (Nov. 30).

"It looks like they want to put an access on our only residential access into the community and almost the entire community is against that."

More blasting and less vibrations were some of the highlights at the recent Lafarge information session on Tuesday (Nov. 26), where officials revealed the quarry extension plan on the back mountain in Exshaw.  

“Why it decided to enter the enclosure, we have no idea, but once he was in there, he regretted that decision really quickly."

“We have an infrastructure deficit in this province and it just continues to crumble. We will have to replace it and we need money to do that.”

“It is unfortunate that a group of people, who know that no laws are being broken, can protest this way to push their values. They want to tell us what to eat, what we can and can’t do. We at Howling Dog Tours will not accept this. We believe the freedom to choose a lifestyle is truly Canadian – we do not believe one needs to break the law to do this.”

15 members of Direct Action Everywhere were arrested by Canmore RCMP at Saturday's (Nov. 16) protest

15 people were arrested Saturday (Nov. 16) for allegedly breaking in to a local kennel to "protest the treatment of the dogs”

"We are very excited to be able to bring portable units out to Canmore to monitor in the Bow Valley. This is the first ambient long-term monitoring in the Bow Valley and we are excited to be able to provide it."

It is a tradition that is more than a century old and one communities in the Rocky Mountains hold dear, as organizers prepare for the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies across the valley
