Head coach Tyson Soloski cited the overall depth of the Xtreme's roster this season for generating an impressive 19-1 record in the lead-up to the holiday hiatus – a record the team has improved upon in their first two games of 2023.

The Ryan Couling Memorial U18AA Tournament took place from Jan. 5-8 in Airdrie, featuring four teams from across south-central Alberta. The tournament was held to remember Ryan Couling, an Airdrie hockey player who passed away in November 2022 after a battle with cancer at the age of 21.

Airdrie RCMP are currently seeking two males who are suspected of assaulting an individual with bear spray on Dec. 30.

The senior recently embarked on one of his most rewarding treks yet, packing up his possessions and moving house from Enderby, B.C. (where he resided for 32 years) to Airdrie, Alta. after he met the woman of his dreams on social media.

Volunteer Airdrie’s Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) seeks to instill the spirit of community and engage local youth to find meaningful social activities to help others.

Following the first three years of the 2020s, people are now hesitant to make presumptions about the new year being their “year,” and are instead choosing to wait and see what 2023 will bring, myself included.

Setting aside uninterrupted quiet time for ourselves to listen, read, create, and slow down, is one of the simple foundations of a creative life. We have lost the culture of stillness.

Alberta RCMP issued over 2,200 traffic tickets over the holidays. According to police, between Dec. 24, 2022 and Jan. 2, 2023, the Alberta RCMP worked to make this #SeasonForCaring safe for all road users.

The project stems from the 2020 Winter Games Legacy Funds – a $258,000 surplus of public Legacy Funds following the 2020 Alberta Winter Games that were hosted in Airdrie.

Thanks to the operation, the Airdrie RCMP CRU were able to recover nearly $35,000 worth of stolen property and return it back to their rightful owners before the holiday season.
