Multiple people were arrested inside the residence, several of whom were already known to police.

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Prince George RCMP’s Downtown Safety Unit and Problem Oriented Policing Team executed a search warrant at a residence on the 300-block of Nicholson Street as part of an ongoing investigation at that location.

Once inside the residence, investigators located a firearm as well as other weapons and ammunition, and approximately ten grams of suspected cocaine, 20 grams of suspected Fentanyl, 30 grams of suspected Methamphetamine, and 55 grams of suspected pharmaceuticals. The weapons and suspected illicit drugs/pharmaceuticals were seized as part of the investigation.

This residence has been the subject of several investigations in the past year, with two previous search warrants executed there in May 2024. Our police officers will continue to keep their focus on those at this residence who continue to cause harm in our community, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Multiple people were arrested inside the residence, several of whom were already known to police. Those arrested were released later that day, as any potential charges related to the drugs seized are pending further laboratory analysis and are subject to approval by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

Canmore’s vacancy tax bylaw deemed valid by Alberta judge

The Rocky Mountain town of Canmore will soon begin taxing homeowners who leave their residences empty for more than half the year. The new tax is part of the town's bid to reverse course on a cost-of-living crisis that has turned the once blue-collar town into an pricey mountain enclave. But the tax has upset many of Canmore's homeowners who use their properties seasonally or on the weekend, and who will be forced to pay about three times more in property taxes than the average primary-resident. Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert says the tax is not an attack on second homeowners. An

Alberta seeks court ruling on constitutionality of Ottawa's clean electricity plan

Alberta's government is seeking a court ruling on the constitutionality of Ottawa's clean electricity grid regulations. The regulations were finalized late last year and lay out a plan to decarbonize electricity grids across Canada by 2025. Abandoning the regulations is one of nine demands Premier Danielle Smith laid out for the next federal government in advance of Monday's election. But she says she's received no indication that the government under Prime Minister Mark Carney will take action. Smith says Ottawa is overstepping its jurisdiction and that the regulations will harm the affordabi
