Alpina Dusk Dawn is a resistant calf who doesn’t want to leave her pen. It takes the work of two to get her out – Reid Schurmann, 16, and Kim Groothof, 20. Reid ropes the calf, and Kim calmly leads her to a grassy patch, setting her up for presentation. It’s a practice run for Kim and the 10-month-old calf, who are competing together at this weekend’s 4H portion of Abbotsford Agrifair.

Abbotsford residents have been bemoaning the tardy arrival of summer, but according to Environment Canada statistics, the weather actually hasn't been all that bad.

SPCA investigators worked into Wednesday's early morning hours catching and processing numerous animals seized from a "hoarding situation" on Baldwin Road in Abbotsford.

One of three men charged in connection with a stabbing last August near the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) has had three more offences added to his file.

The MSA Museum Society presented its vision of the future to council on Monday. The group is proposing the creation of a discovery centre which will encompass much of the Mill Lake area.

A 10 per cent harmonized sales tax will cost an average B.C. family $255 a year less than returning to the former provincial sales tax, according to a new study.

Disappointed. That’s the one word Patricia Ross keeps saying when asked about Monday’s decision to allow the burning of garbage. The chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is a vocal advocate against incineration. When she heard the waste management plan for Metro Vancouver – that includes waste-to-energy incineration – was approved by the B.C. Environment Minister, she was shocked.
