Kitscoty RCMP lay charges following school threats
Kitscoty, Alta. – On Nov. 27 the Kitscoty RCMP received a third party complaint that a male threatened to shoot up a school. The RCMP responded by alerting the school, taking immediate action to effect an arrest and charges have been laid.
Shortly after 1:00 p.m. RCMP were alerted to information that a male told a third party that he was going to shoot up a school. While no specific school was named in the threat, the RCMP determined where this male was located and contacted EH Walter School, which was in close proximity to him. The school went into a hold and secure situation and the safety of all the students and staff was ensured.
By 2:10 p.m. the suspect male was in police custody, without incident, in the Rivercourse area. As part of the investigation, the RCMP seized several firearms from his residence.
George Wade Bodnar (51) has been charged with two counts of uttering threats. A judicial interim release hearing has been held and he is released for a court appearance on Jan. 14, 2020 in Lloydminster Provincial Court.
“We take threats involving a school very seriously, it is a serious offence and the RCMP will respond accordingly” says Sergeant Corey Buckingham of the Kitscoty RCMP. “Safety of our students, teachers and our community is our number one priority and we’re pleased with the partnership with EH Walter School and the minimal disruption to the students and staff.”
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.
