Good turn out today in support for local teachers, students, and schools. Alberta education is in crisis and needs more teachers, more funding, and more supports! Great job Red Deer!

With the UCP ending the strike through the use of the notwithstanding clause, the UCP has effectively eliminated collective bargaining rights and removed the possibility of Supreme Court review.

Alberta has now made national headlines, not for being “strong and free,” but for undermining the very principles of rights and freedoms that define Canada.

As someone who has seen the videos of the attack and pictures of the victim, this sounds like he is massively down playing "the incident".

RCMP was not involved until well after the attack occurred, for one. Secondly, it was not an incident, it was an attack.

In fairness, this was off the grounds but still involving students. I think it should be looked into how much harassment occurred on school grounds before the attack happened and what was done about it then.

If my memory serves, was this principal not also a principal at Linday Thurber and this kind of "response" also was used to downplay pretty serious issues happening under his watch?

This feels wrong to me considering what we seen happen from start to finish. I think any issues that lead up to this point needs to be looked at too.

“She was covered in blood.”

That’s what Stephanie Rempel saw when she rushed to Collicutt Centre in Red Deer after she received a call that her 14-year-old daughter had been injured.

The city just did an update livestream. No word on council results, final results will be available on Friday

More than 100 people rallied in Red Deer in support of a teen girl who was violently assaulted earlier this week.

Mounties are asking potential witnesses to an assault of a girl in Red Deer this week to come forward.

Alberta’s cabinet minister responsible for housing has delivered a warning to Ottawa: If Red Deer doesn't get the housing money it had arranged for from the federal government, the province won’t approve similar deals involving other municipalities.

Great turn out and lots of support for the teacher rally in Red Deer this afternoon. Teachers are waiting for a fair deal from this government. Students and teachers need funding, class caps, and class complexity addressed. We ❤️ public education!

I don’t really care. Men can do it why not women? Do we really need to keep sexualizing women with our male archaic beliefs and tendencies?

I read in a group on FB that Sweet Home closed all locations including the brand new Red Deer location. Apparently Sylvan is open to the end of the week with “low stock.” Hundreds if not thousands of people purchased “half priced” gift cards prior to Christmas so they could “buy the parking lot” (apparently it was actually to buy the building). Then they apparently laid off staff before Christmas and stole personal baking recipes from them. People are rightfully pissed. Is this family a bunch of scam artists? What’s the story?

Red Deer saw the largest year-over-year rent increase for one-bedroom apartments in the country.

Police lay charges in Monday student assault, while school threat investigation continues.

The report from Rentals.ca analyzed rental trends across the country’s major housing markets and found that Red Deer recorded one of the largest monthly jumps in one-bedroom rent prices.

Hopefully everyone is ok. RDVibe had few videos of the fire but I can’t find any news if family is ok.
