Towards the end of the Calgary Flames season, there were often times when the Sportsnet crew and I were the only media at practices. The Sportsnet 960 crew, from Pat Steinberg to Meaghan Mikkelson to Derek Wills, were there every single morning. Guys like Logan Gordon, Matt Rose and George Rusic were regulars, too, whether that was in the press box during games or in the locker room for scrums. When you turned on the radio in the morning, you got three hours of local content on The Big Show. The afternoon show came on at 1 p.m. before Steinberg hosted Flames Talk, often teeing up the Flames game that followed. On game nights, Steinberg would stick around long after the rest of us in the media had gone home to host the post-game call-in show. Nowhere else in the city did you get that much locally sourced and produced sports content. Not even close. And now, none of it will be on the air. Pat Steinberg, as seen in this file photo. On Tuesday morning, the news dropped like a bomb that Rogers Communications Inc. had made the decision to shut down Sportsnet 960 and 660 NewsRadio.

the renowned swiss boarding school works with barth to create learning spaces that depart from the conventional classroom. belen afonso October 23, 2026 5 min prefer designboom on googleLe Rosey creates new spaces to learnA glance at the new rooms at Swiss boarding school Le Rosey inevitably brings back memories of childhood mornings. For much of Western society, those long days unfolded in monotonous, almost institutional spaces that could have been photocopies of the school next door, were it not for the occasional murals a teacher with a creative itch had insisted on using to decorate the classroom. Le Rosey’s students already experienced a somewhat different environment before this intervention. Founded in Rolle in 1880, it is Switzerland’s oldest and largest boarding school and one of Europe’s most famous. Its 450 students, drawn from more than 70 countries, experience an educational model known for its progressive learning methods. The recent transformation of six of its rooms is proof of this.

Built-in furniture, work surfaces, and concealed storage integrate directly into the wall and ceiling planes to leave the central circulation path clear.

It was an otherwise typical day on 25 September 2021 when thousands of dead and dying crustaceans washed up on beaches in Yorkshire and the north-east of England. Early morning walkers and swimmers were aghast to find a sickening carpet of twitching, fitting crabs. It would be the first but not the last die-off, which would see the disappearance of vast swathes of integral native sea life along an extended stretch of coast, including seal pups. It would also see the decimation of the local fishing industry and, with that, a way of life. Environmentalists, fishers and ordinary local people wondered what could have possibly caused such a rare catastrophic incident. Meanwhile, hours before – completely coincidentally, the authorities said – a major dredging operation was carried out in the mouth of the River Tees, disturbing sediment where decades earlier highly toxic pollutants from heavy industry had been pumped. The authorities, after carrying out a series of their own tests, denied there was a causal link, blaming an algae bloom and then, later, a novel pathogen. But those who live and work around the Tees estuary disagreed. Relentless campaigner …
