Technical, challenging and vital.

Those are just three words to describe the competition Alex Grigg, who graduated from Senator Gershaw School in 2009, is now involved in at the University of Calgary.

Grigg is a biomedical magor within the Bachelor of Health Sciences program at the university. Upon graduation, he hopes to apply to medical school.

The renovations to the Bow Island Health Centre will be going ahead, and although an exact date hasn’t been announced yet, according to a communication between MLA Len Mitzel and Minister of Infrastructure, Ray Danyluk, information will be forthcoming “very soon”.

The renovations to the Bow Island Health Centre will be going ahead, and although an exact date hasn’t been announced yet, according to a communication between MLA Len Mitzel and Minister of Infrastructure, Ray Danyluk, information will be forthcoming “very soon”.
A flurry of phone calls took place between the Mayor of Bow Island, Alan Hyland, town councilor, Gordon Reynolds and MLA Len Mitzel following the announcement  that the government was going ahead with the improvements to the Medicine Hat Hospital, something the city has long awaited.
Bow Island’s hospital also had a project approved some time ago which has yet to go ahead, thanks to a combination of global economic downturn and bids that came in over-budget at the time. However, with the government announcing other hospital projects which had been on hold getting the go-ahead, the town’s municipal government officials wondered where Bow Island sits in priorities.
Mitzel explained that the funding coming through for Bow Island was not announced at the same time because the funding is coming from a different pot. Instead of through health, it is coming through infrastructure as capital for emergent projects funding.
“The Minister of Infrastructure plans on moving ahead with this project very shortly. Minister Danyluk toured with Alta Magee through the hospital, so he is totally aware of the hospital and the project,” Mitzel said.
He added the project should come in at around $5 million.
Further announcements should be made soon.

In 2006 Canada had a thriving $1 billion per year pornography industry, or $30.21 per capita. It was the ninth top video porn producer in the world. Canadians are also voracious purveyors of Internet pornography. Unfortunately, this includes children, usually by accident. The average age children are first exposed to Internet porn is 11-years-old while in the eight through 16-year-old age group 90% have been exposed to a hard core porn site, usually while doing homework. The reason? Many porn sites link themselves to seemingly innocuous words kids will search - like action figure or even something as outwardly innocent as Pokemon.
