District agrees to upgrade Red Coat Trail segment
Cypress Municipal District will upgrade about eight kilometres of the Red Coat Trail secondary road 501 from the Alberta Saskatchewan border westward. The hard surfaced gravel road will cost 250 000 dollars funded by Alberta Transportation. Local officials say eight kilometres is a start and aim to expand, while opponents cite maintenance costs and low traffic counts. Upgrading the segment may involve the district in ongoing maintenance and could boost tourism potential. Work could begin in August.

Environment critic faults slow Al-Tec control order in HazWaste case
Alberta Environment delayed issuing a control order against Al-Tec Sanitation Systems Ltd after a May 19 search of its Medicine Hat site where about 240 drums of benzene sludge were stored. The order required immediate containment, fencing, and a full waste inventory with a report due by June 24. MLA Grant Mitchell criticized the department for slow action and urged more investigations and surprise checks to deter improper storage of hazardous waste.
