On June 12, 2018, at about 8:55 p.m., a lockdown was put in place in the medium security unit at Drumheller Institution, to enable staff members to conduct an exceptional search.

The search was ordered to ensure the safety and security of the institution, its staff and inmates. Normal operations will resume as soon as it is considered safe to do so.

Visits have been suspended until the search is completed.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is committed to preventing the entry of contraband into its institutions. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband into correctional institutions.

On June 16, a video by recording artists Moody x 2, shot in Drumheller will be released and screened at a benefit concert for the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
    Drumheller based Starland Studio shot the video for the song Universe in the Valley, using a number of iconic backdrops. This is the second time they have worked with Moody x 2.
    “After recently making the music video Mahekan with Moody x 2, we were honoured singers Natashia and Alexandria Moodie asked us to make a music video for their new song Universe,” said Starland Studio president Matthew Todd Paproski. “First listening to it as a director I was struck with how it was a profound love song about loving someone so much you would not be able to go on without them in your life. It has a deep dark side to it that is not morbid but meaningful.”
    “The Humboldt Broncos incident then occurred affecting me profoundly and many people around me. A few days later, three children were killed in a collision at Fort Nelson, Manitoba – home of Moody x 2. These tragedies evolved into a vision, we captured with many people helping, of both love and love lost.”
    The video will have a Sneak Preview at the huge #Starzstrong benefit, June 16 in Airdrie. Concert headliners are rock band Monster Truck, four other bands and special guests Gilby Clark and Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal of Guns & Roses with Sean Kelly of Nelly Furtado / Lee Aaron.
    Private and public premiere screenings will also be in the Town of Drumheller on Canada Day weekend.”
    Natashia and sister Alexandria Moodie make up Moody x2. They are Wolf Clan from Nelson House (Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation) in northern Manitoba and public speakers on bullying, suicide prevention and missing & murdered women.
