Website designed by More Hot Leads Have you felt the financial impact of Trump's tariffs yet View Results OTTAWA — The NDP national council is scheduled to meet tonight to pick an interim leader. Jagmeet Singh announced on election night that he would step down as soon as an interim leader was chosen. The NDP was reduced to just seven seats in the election on April 28 and no longer holds official party status. Two party officials say the NDP caucus met twice last week to discuss who will lead the party until a leadership race can be completed. Singh is among more than a dozen NDP MPs who were defeated in one of the worst election showings the party has had. Former MP Charlie Angus says the party lost touch with core supporters and focused too much on the personality of the leader. The Alberta NDP voted overwhelmingly on the weekend in favour of allowing members to opt-out of mandatory membership in the federal party when signing up at the provincial level. — With files from Catherine Morrison in Ottawa and Lisa Johnson in Edmonton.

Hack-and-seek participants will be working in teams of three to create a VR experience from scratch in three days. About 68 students will be participating in this challenge at three locations-Lethbridge Polytechnic, SAIT and NAIT, with the polytechnic hosting 20 of the participants. This will be Cooper Horne’s second crack at this event, after placing second last year. He says he was a little nervous coming into this, but came out with new friendships formed. “Last year I was a little bit nervous because I didn’t know how good I was going to be compared to everyone else, but it was a lot less about comparison and more talking to everyone and seeing what was out there and what everyone came up with.” Horne is one of six returning participants, something Anamaria Turk, applied research operations officer for Spatial Technology and Applied Research and Training (START), says is very exciting to see. “It’s really nice to see that they’ve really got something out of the event and they really want to come back and go back at it again.” Turk says while this experience will give them hands-on experience and a project to show for it afterwards, it’s also teaching them skills such as teamwork, which are equally important. She adds that the kids won’t know their teammates until the event and they work as a team throughout the event. The final results of Hack-and-Seek will be filmed on Sunday and posted to the Lethbridge Polytechnic’s YouTube channel. the City of Lethbridge is reminding residents to roll out their curbside green carts every week for pick-up The seasonal approach to green cart collection accounts for variations in yard waste generation and addresses the ‘yuck factor’ or odour experienced during the warmer months with household organics Download the free Lethbridge Loop app to receive collection day reminders to your smartphone.
