Hi Students
The weather is still nice.  We're lucky to have good weather and mayb it will last until the end of September.  We talked about news today
Former Premier Peter Lougheed died last week.  He was Alberta's premier for about 15 years starting in 1971.
There is a lockout in the National Hockey League (NHL).  Canadians love hockey and they won't be able to watch NHL hockey for a while.  Hopefully the players and owners will come to an agreement  it won't last long.  Hockey also brings income for people who work at the Coleseum, people who sell souvineers and people who work in bars and restaurants because many people watch games at a bar or go to a bar after a game. 
The big condo fire in Calgary left people without their homes.  Nobody was living there but many people planned to move in next month so it's a big problem for them.  The police think that it was arson.  Arson means that somebody set the fire on purpose.
There was a Terry Fox Run yesterday to raise money for cancer.  This is the 32nd year and a lot of money has been raised.  School children also take part in the run every year.  Terry Fox is a famous Canadian.
