The recovered property has been returned to various owners. The property was determined to have been stolen from several jurisdictions including Sherwood Park, Airdrie, Calgary, Three Hills, Carstairs, and Red Deer. Other recovered property included personal wallets.
“It’s nice to be able to return all this property to its owners and we thank the alert citizens who notified us about suspicious activity,” says Sergeant Gary MacLaren of the Southern Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit. “As long as criminals remain active, our Unit remains active and will follow up on intelligence we gather from various different sources.”
The investigation into this property crime remains ongoing.

Albertans Helping Albertans: Virtual 5K for cancer centres

cancer run

The Alberta Cancer Foundation is excited to launch a virtual, province-wide fundraiser set to take place during the entire month of May.
   The Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K is a campaign that will raise funds for the 17 Alberta Health Services cancer centres across the province, by encouraging participants to individually run or walk a minimum of 5 kilometres in support of the cancer centre in their area, from Fort McMurray, to Red Deer to Lethbridge.
   This year, more than 20,000 Albertans will be diagnosed with cancer and now more than ever, Albertans need our support. The Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K will help make life better for patients across the province by enhancing patient care and improving comfort measures at every centre. Every donation made will help drive the individual needs and vital services of the chosen centre, where world-class equipment, technology and personnel can help change the lives of patients as well as their families.
   Fundraising for this exciting event can start immediately and the race will run from May 1 – May 31, 2020. Registration is now open and free for individuals under 18 years old, and $20 for all other participants. The first 300 people who register and complete their run or walk will receive a medal, and the first 300 people to raise $500 by April 30 will receive a commemorative race t-shirt.
   This event is a fun and safe way to practice social distancing while supporting fellow Albertans facing cancer. Whether you are an avid runner whose previous events with the Foundation have been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, a beginner debuting your running career, or an Albertan wanting to walk to make a positive difference in your community, this event is suitable for all groups and ages.
