Concerns with deer in Okotoks are trending in the wrong direction and will only worsen without action.

Let's hope the transfer of a Blackfoot tipi to the Town of Okotoks will be looked upon years from now as not only a symbolic gesture, but a meaningful step toward reconciliation. 

I’m not sure whether I’m cheap, lazy or just nostalgic, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if it rained here every now and again. 

Advance polls are becoming increasingly popular as almost half the votes cast in Highwood and Livingstone-Macleod were done ahead of election day.

With only six weeks left until athletes start arriving in Okotoks and Diamond Valley, several hundred volunteer positions still need to be filled.

I think we haven't done a very good job of introducing new people to the wonderful traditional and free Alberta lifestyle that, as Danielle Smith has said, is worth fighting for.

I miss the old Okotoks that was filled with wonderful people that would have laughed at the absurdity of this whole situation, if only it were funny. 

Imagine not being able to enjoy your morning coffee on your deck or not having guests over for a barbecue. Imagine not being able to open your windows to freshen up the air.

The now-defeated entertainment district might not have brought people into Olde Towne Okotoks, but it could have cooled off festival goers.

Monday's election result is an endorsement of the UCP approach, but it’s not an invitation for Danielle Smith to take the province to the fringes.
