“High Hopes” by the iconic band Pink Floyd was released in 1994 and remains a huge fan favorite of many classic rock listeners. David Gilmour is the singer and song- writer for Pink Floyd and has had a very successful music career.

Then you are blasting off, and then in space. You do things like leave the spaceship, and communicate with ground control, but then there is a malfunction in the system, and you are lost in…

I am writing to discuss some concerns I have about Lacombe and surrounding areas. Concerning Tourism and culture I do not think there is much of either. Lacombe’s best feature is probably the small coffee shops and most likely the most touristy spots. Of course, there is only a few of these and when someone says tourist hot spots you don’t really think of Lacombe or the surrounding areas of Lacombe. Lacombe, Red Deer, Edmonton etc. are more places to live rather than tour so we are not getting…
