Alberta Milk launches 'Farm to Table' campaign to celebrate local dairy and the people behind it
EDMONTON, Alberta, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alberta Milk is proud to announce the launch of its latest campaign, Farm to Table: a celebration of Alberta's local food culture and the hardworking dairy farmers who help nourish our province.
Amidst a global backdrop of economic uncertainty and shifting trade priorities, Albertans are more focused than ever on supporting local. Farm to Table was created in response to this growing pride in locally produced food, and the people behind it.
At the heart of the campaign is a short film following Alberta dairy farmer Jason Crozier and Blair Lebsack, Chef and owner of Edmonton-based restaurant RGE RD. Together, they explore the journey from farm to table, touring Crozier's farm and connecting over their shared commitment to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. As they explore the farm, they also enjoy a variety of dishes featuring homegrown ingredients including, of course, local dairy. The spot highlights the pride, care, and community that go into every glass of milk produced in the province.
'There's something really special about meeting the people behind your food and seeing exactly where it comes from,' said Chef Blair Lebsack. 'Spending time with Jason on the farm reminded me how much care goes into the ingredients we use every day. We're incredibly lucky to have such amazing food produced right here in Alberta.'
The campaign was developed in collaboration with creative agency ONE23WEST who partnered with Edmonton-based production company Cooper & O'Hara and featuring music from Alberta indie rock band Scenic Route to Alaska, making this a true local production.
'Our goal with Farm to Table was to celebrate the incredible talent and dedication that feeds our province. Alberta dairy farmers work hard to produce high-quality Canadian dairy products, and we're proud to share their story alongside other passionate Albertans,' said Reuben Joose, General Manager at Alberta Milk.
From the field to the kitchen table, Farm to Table is a tribute to the strength and connection of Alberta's local food system and a reminder that when we choose local, we all benefit. To learn more and watch the full video, visit: albertamilk.com/farm-to-table.

Why Candace Cameron Bure doesn't let adult children watch 'demonic' scary movies
Candace Cameron Bure recently shared that she believes that playing scary movies on TVs is a "portal" for "demonic stuff." The former co-host of "The View" and a devout Christian shared her views on the matter during a conversation with her youngest son, Lev, 25, and Waco, Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda during a recent episode of her self-titled podcast. The Great American Family star, 49, added that "I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV because to me, that's just a portal," telling her son and "JP" that "I'm in the film industry. I understand how it all works." Candace Cameron Bure remembers playing 'weird' evil witch on 'Boy Meets World' The younger sister to actor Kirk Cameron continued: "I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they're lighting it, and they're adding the sound effects, and it's makeup, and the camera, people, and actors; however, there's still something that can be incredibly demonic while they've made it."

"In our house as a mom, I feel like you guys make fun of me when I talk about — they make fun of me all the time — but particularly when I'm serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they're rolling their eyes at me," Cameron Bure said, in reference to her eldest son and her two other adult children Natasha, 26, and Maksim, 23, with Valeri Bure. "They laugh at me because 'the portal,'" the "Full House" said. "I'm like, you're opening up a portal. Like if you're watching this or playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home." Then, the fan favorite "Dancing with the Stars" contestant addressed Pokluda and said that she understood his past comments comparing popular canned water company Liquid Death to something "cursed." "That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death," she said. "You're like, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?'"

This Budget Airline Is Canceling All U.S. Flights—What Travelers Should Know
Discount carrier Play Airlines will suspend all flights to the United States in October. The airline operates flights between the U.S., Iceland, and Europe. Passengers will have the opportunity to get a refund or rebook in different cities. It's the final boarding call for U.S. flights from a popular low-cost Play Airlines recently announced it would stop operations to and from the United States, as well as all of North America, this fall. 'All flights to North America cease as of October 2025,' the airline confirmed in a statement on its website. The airline first launched flights to the U.S. in 2021 and currently operates routes from Baltimore, Boston, and New York to Reykjavik, Iceland. Once in Iceland, travelers had the opportunity to fly to a variety of European destinations including Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, London, and Porto. Despite October being the announced date for the end of operations, the airline is no longer selling any tickets for travel from New York to Iceland after Sept. 1, 2025. Tickets on the route for travel on Sept. 1 are currently going for as little as €174 one-way (approximately $201). While the airline operates flights out of New York, it does not use the main airports like LaGuardia Airport (LGA), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), or Newark International Airport (EWR). Instead, it uses New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) in Windsor, New York, which is approximately 77 miles north of New York City. Although that is a significant distance from the city, the airport often provides a discounted option for travelers and a regular shuttle service. A representative for the airline told Travel + Leisure that Play would contact all affected passengers for trip modification or refunds if needed. In addition to the end of the airline's North America flights, Play will also undergo a restructure and switch from its existing Iceland-based Air Operator Certificate, to a Maltese-based certificate. The airline will also remove its stock exchange listing and fly to fewer destinations. It will also lease aircraft to other vendors. The decision of Play Airlines to end U.S. flights comes at a time when other airlines have reduced routes or shut down. For example, Silver Airways, a regional airline that operates flights throughout the Bahamas, the Caribbean Islands, and Florida, recently announced a sudden shut down as well.

From Niagara to the pitch: Port Colborne's Peter Montopoli helps kick off Canada's FIFA countdown
Let the countdown begin. As a towering countdown clock was unveiled Wednesday at Niagara Falls, marking one year until the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the moment held special meaning for one of the event's key leaders — and for Niagara. Peter Montopoli, chief operating officer of FIFA World Cup 2026's Canadian branch, returned to his roots in the region to help mark the milestone. Born and raised in Port Colborne, Montopoli reflected on how far both he and Canadian soccer have come. 'Today was a day that I was thinking back to being part of the Port Colborne Minor Soccer Club,' he said in an interview. 'The idea of getting in a car and going on a road trip to play in St. Catharines or Niagara Falls was exciting, it brought the whole community together.' Now, years later, Montopoli is leading Canada's efforts to host the world's largest sporting event. Let's break down when and where you can see live games without leaving the country. Wednesday's unveiling marked exactly one year until the first match of the tournament kicks off on June 11, 2026. Standing nearly 10 feet tall, the new countdown clock, featuring a maple leaf mosaic, sits at the brink of the falls. Peter Montopoli and Team Canada goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo unveil the World Cup Countdown Clock as Lisette Johnson-Stapley, director of operational services for the 2026 tourney, addresses the crowd. The ceremony featured remarks from Montopoli, local and provincial leaders, and national athletes, including Ontario Minister of Sport Neil Lumsden and Canadian Women's National Team's goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo. The evening was set to conclude with a special illumination of Niagara Falls in red, green, and blue, representing the three host nations: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. For Montopoli, the World Cup is more than a tournament — it's a chance to build a legacy. 'These kinds of events have a way of igniting passion for people in the sport,' he said. 'Football's really developed in Canada, but I think people really aspire to something when they see a countdown clock, when they see 13 matches in Canada.' He pointed to the success of the Canadian-hosted FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015 as proof that hosting can inspire a generation. 'Women's football took centre stage, and it brought it to another level. I think the same is going to happen here,' he said, while also emphasizing the importance of involving more than just the larger cities. 'People will move around,' he said, referring to the travel patterns expected during the tournament. 'So places like Niagara Falls and small communities are the ones that will benefit from the tourists on the eastern seaboard.' Ontario Minister of Sport and former Canadian football player Neil Lumsden addressed the crowd at the FIFA 26 Countown Clock unveiling in Niagara Falls on Wednesday. Ontario officials speaking at the ceremony mirrored Montopoli's optimism. 'The sound that you're hearing is rolling thunder. That thunder is attached to the people of the 2026 World Cup and it's going to land here in Ontario, and this thunder is just getting started,' Lumsden said to the crowd. 'The impact of FIFA, the World Cup, is going to be massive on so many fronts, and we're proud to be part of it.' For those across the region hoping to take part, Montopoli said opportunities are coming. 'Jump on board, be a part of the train that's coming,' he said. 'You could be a volunteer. We're going to be calling for volunteers in August, or host something in your local community.' For his hometown crowd in Port Colborne, Montopoli offered a final message. 'I would hope they're supporting Canada, but if not, we have a saying: we said it's OK to wear another country's jersey, as long as your home country's is underneath and closest to your heart.'
