And we are finding out what the city has planned for the inglewood aquadic centre. >> Blake: the pool was set to close five years ago but got a reprieve. Meghan cobb is in inglewood this morning and scheduled to come down at 9:30. Good morning to you, meghan. >> And this pool along 17th avenue south east has quite the history after the city tried to close it a couple years ago. Now the community rallied behind it and got a 2 years reprieve as the city investigated its long term options. Now that was back in 2019, and. >> Today that pool is still open, and can be booked for firstbirthday parties, and there are concerns about the lack of aquatic facilities, and and falling. >> Membership numbers, and they

decided to focus on initiatives, and involved in a massive expansion of the facilities at the moment and we find out at 9:3030 what the city has planned for the pool, and we believe it has to do with the permanent closure, and that is what we have been told so far, and in terms of the time lines, we find it all out at 9:30. >> Blake: thanks, meghan. There are new developments in the ransom ware demand against london drugs after a recent cyberattack. >> The online group lockbit demanded that the company pay $25 million by today or stolen data would be released. According to one cyber security analyst, the initial demand disappeared from the group's website on wednesday. The retailer said it would not pay up. Something some experts say could be risky. >> Digital data is something that can be stored and copied and shared. So what guarantee do they have that that data would not surface again five years from now, ten years from now? >> Blake: london drugs says it is paying for up to two years of credit monitoring for its employees. >> Dallas: calgary police released a photo of a man believed to be responsible for a hit-and-run crash in bridgeland last month. >> Blake: police hope that sun recognizes the man. Believed to be driving an older model honda odyssey van. >> Dallas: back on april 27th, investigators say a man fell in the parking lot of a gas station on 4th street northeast. He was run over twice by the van when it reversed and drove off. The victim taken to hospital suffering life-altering injuries. Anyone who has any information is asked to call police or crimestoppers. >>> A calgary man faces charges after allegedly making unwanted sexual comments while exposing himself to a teenager. >> Blake: the incident happened in the men's change room at the thornhill aquatic and recreation centre in huntington hills earlier this month. Police say the teenager who did not engage with the 64-year-old man left and told his mom about the incident. The man is now facing charges including committing an indecent act. >> Dallas: turning our attention to gas prices across the country. Gas prices are seeing a 20-cent spread across the city right now. >> Blake: it's selling as high as $1.62 a litre and as low as $1.42 a litre depending where you fill up in the city. Energy and gas expert dan McTEAGUE says there's no clear reason for the range in prices. A gas stations replacing the gas stations replacing the cost of the fuel they are selling, the prices should be around $1.44 a litre, and he says that the prices right now are on par with other communities across western canada the U.S. midwest. >> If you're getting gasoline in calgary for under $1.52, you're doing very well. If you're in edmonton, buying for under $1.50, you're in the lead, not the gas station. So take advantage of it while you can. Things like this don't always happen and they don't always last. >> Blake: gas prices are 2 to 3 cents a litre back in edmonton. >> Dallas: les, your tip is fill up wednesday or saturday. >> Leslie: yeah, wednesday, 2 cents a litre, and saturday is 2, and it used to be three and you can find saturday, sunday, the 2 cents a litre off and wednesdays on the 2 cents a litre off, and I did 1.47. And I got it at 1.45. But there are rumors there are some 1 about 1.42's out there. It's one of the things and it is... I mean... When you need the gas... You need the gas. And you have to fill up at whatever price happens to be. If only we could market ourselves that way. Oh, it's busier in traffic? Oh, I think you need to pay me double to talk about that and that is the way of the world and wanted to remind you and 2 left lanes open, and doesn't look like there is that much more to do and we have had off and on closures and taking a look and seeing 2 lanes only and busy through the area, and up in the city, and slow go all the way from airport trail and past memorial and continuing to be westbound memorial and continuing to make progress in clearing that scene. That is your ok traffic. And another single lane only, brandi. 16th in the northwest.

More than 6%. According to statistics canada, there are nearly 96,000 more people here than there were at the end of 2022. >> Blake: that is putting a lot of strain on the city's housing market. In an update to a city committee, councillors told 5 of the 8 recommendations in the housing strategy have been completed including citywide rezoning and making parcels of city-owned land available to affordable housing providers. >> Dallas: since the strategy's approval, market conditions are worse, and vacancy rates tumbled to 1.1%. Rent and the price of home have seen double digit price increases. Ward 8 councillor courtney walcott says the city is moving fast on the strategy, there is no overnight solution. >> We're actually going to see more people in need and that is is going to keep growing until we see the system stabilizing, and it will be a while because the need is so prevalent. >> Affordability, if it's nonmarket housing, sure what we're delivering through the nonmarket housing is nominal. >> Blake: ward 10 councillor andre chabot says he doesn't believe that the strategy is doing enough to help calgarians who are really struggling, and need subsidized housing. >> Dallas: part of the strategy includes homeowners making a secondary suite. >> Blake: so the motion will go to council later this month. If approved, the city would pay up to $10,000 when the suite is registered. There could be an additional 5,000 for those who meet certain accessibility requirements and -- standards. And up to $1,250 for energy efficiency improvements. >> Dallas: the goal is also increasing supply but making sure that the suites are safe. >> And the designers and the architects they need to know all of the rules of what a safe suite is before they design it and the building permits, the inspections at the end. There are a lot of parameters to ensure that whoever is living in the basement suite or secondary suite is doing so safely and that's good, and people will be living there anyway, we might as well as ensure they are doing so safely. >> And providing incentives up to 3,000 suites during the first year. >> Blake: we are getting into summer season in banff. We'll tell you what parks canada is recommending for travellers to the mountains. >> But first, stay with us. They're looking for a
