Alberta Energy Regulator flags four Medicine Hat sites for elevated methane readings linked to historic wells near the Fifth Avenue Memorial United Church. Indoor levels were low, but outdoor readings in the alley exceeded twice the acute safety threshold. Further exploratory work and ventilation maintenance are planned and ongoing.
The city pursues mitigation of methane from wells over 100 years old with ongoing work. An Alberta Energy Regulators report draft from 2016, not final, cites complex site differences and ongoing city cooperation with Alberta Health and the Orphan Well Association. Monitoring continues at four sites and a fifth near Ninth Street NE shows elevated levels. Wells date to early petroleum exploration, some tied to the American Hotel No 1 site.
In a high profile murder case at the Lethbridge courthouse, two jurors were randomly dismissed before deliberations, dropping the panel from fourteen to twelve.
