Alberta SPCA Offers “Help For Animals”
April 20, 2020
During the COVID-19 crisis, the Alberta SPCA is encouraging animal owners to contact us before their animals become distressed in order to discuss ways we can help. Our organization knows, when people suffer animals suffer, and we would like to help before animals become compromised.
“Animal shelters in Alberta have limited ability to take in surrendered or distressed animals,” said Alberta SPCA Executive Director Terra Johnston, “It is our goal to help owners to care for their animals on their property to prevent animals from being neglected and shelters from becoming overwhelmed.”
Last month the Alberta SPCA was able to obtain pet food donations from Nestle Purina PetCare in Innisfail, and from Champion Pet Foods just outside of Edmonton that will use to help companion animals in need. When it comes to livestock or other pets, the Alberta SPCA will work to help owners find feed for their animals in need. The Alberta SPCA program in available to animal owners in our jurisdictional area which is most areas of the province outside of Edmonton and Calgary.
“As with all initiatives to help Albertans during this unprecedented time, we ask people to not take advantage of this program, and to only call or email us if they are truly in need,” said Johnston.
Albertans can learn more about our Help For Animals program by visiting our website, albertaspca.org/helpforanimals, or by calling us at 1-833-621-0725.
From Bonnyville RCMP
On May 3, 2025, at approximately 6:55 p.m., a male suspect drove a stolen trackhoe into the parking lot of the Bonnyville RCMP. The suspect dumped several boulders in front of the prisoner bay and then proceeded to damage 5 police vehicles, which were parked in the lot. The suspect then fled on foot.
Bonnyville RCMP, Police Dog Services and RPAS (drone), searched for the suspect and he was quickly located in a tree line just north west of the detachment. He was arrested and is currently in custody pending a Judicial
Interim Release Hearing.
The suspect cannot be named at this point as the charges have not been sworn before the courts. An updated media release is expected in the coming days.

Pierre Poilievre will run to represent Camrose, Stettler, Hanna, and Drumheller in Central Alberta by-election
From LifeSiteNews
Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek announced Friday he would be willing to give up his seat as an MP so Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat Monday, could attempt to re-join Parliament.
Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek announced Friday he would be willing to give up his seat in a riding that saw the Conservatives easily defeat the Liberals by 46,020 votes in this past Monday’s election. Poilievre had lost his seat to his Liberal rival, a seat which he held for decades, which many saw as putting his role as leader of the party in jeopardy.
Kurek has represented the riding since 2019 and said about his decision, “It has been a tremendous honor to serve the good people of Battle River—Crowfoot.”
“After much discussion with my wife Danielle, I have decided to step aside for this Parliamentary session to allow our Conservative Party Leader to run here in a by-election,” he added.
Newly elected Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney used his first post-election press conference to say his government will unleash a “new economy” that will further “deepen” the nation’s ties to the world.
He also promised that he would “trigger” a by-election at once, saying there would be “no games” trying to prohibit Poilievre to run and win a seat in a safe Conservative riding.
Poilievre, in a statement posted to X Friday, said that it was with “humility and appreciation that I have accepted Damien Kurek’s offer to resign his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot so that I can work to earn the support of citizens there to serve them in Parliament.”
“Damien’s selfless act to step aside temporarily as a Member of Parliament shows his commitment to change and restoring Canada’s promise,” he noted.
“I will work to earn the trust of the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot and I will continue to hold the Liberal minority government to account until the next federal election, when we will bring real change to all Canadians.”
Carney said a new cabinet will be sworn in on May 12.
