Lac La Biche RCMP work in partnership with multiple agencies to help save a bear
During the morning of Aug. 31, 2021 Lac La Biche RCMP responded to a report of a black bear exploring the downtown area of Lac La Biche. The bear was located downtown and an area was subsequently blocked off to protect the public and the wildlife. Once the bear climbed a tree in the downtown area, further plans were put into action to help rescue and relocate the bear.

Officers would like to thank the public for respecting the area that was cordoned off by the officers in order to help save the bear. It was a beary good outcome for all involved.

Aurora Cannabis shares fall 40% after share sale amendment


EDMONTON — Aurora Cannabis Inc.’s share price fell by about 40 per cent, after the company announced it sold US$150 million worth of shares.
The Edmonton marijuana company’s share price was $3.47 when trading ended Thursday, but by mid-morning Friday, had fallen to $2.07 and closed at $2.14.
The sale of shares was part of an amendment Aurora made to a previously announced bought deal financing.
The amendment made it possible for a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity and BMO Capital Markets to purchase 61.2 million Aurora units for US$2.45 each.
Each unit is comprised of one common share in Aurora and one common share purchase warrant, which can be used to acquire one common share for US$3.20 each in the next 36 months.
Aurora has yet to record a profit and in recent years has been trying to drive revenues by better aligning supply with demand, laying off staff and closing facilities.
