Canada Post is asking Bow Island businesses for their feedback on the possibility of the local post office being closed on Saturdays to help cut costs after announcing its first loss after 16 consecutive years of turning a profit.

The Bow Island/Foremost RCMP were joined by members of other detachments over the weekend of April 27 and 28 when they held an enhanced checkstop that focused on areas in the County of Forty Mile, including Burdett, Foremost, and Grassy Lake, as well as Bow Island.

Bow Island's finances are in pretty good shape, according to a financial auditor who made a presentation at the Town's April 23 council meeting.

Redcliff RCMP Chief, Dave Ness, visited the Redcliff Town Council meeting on April 23, to give a detailed crime report, which dated from Jan. 1 to March 31.
