Greenpeace made it onto Syncrude property today and tried to stop a pipeline.

The incident occured near the tailings pond at Aurora North where 500 ducks died earlier this year. Greenpeace says they erected massive "Stop the Tarsand" banners and tried to block a pipeline leading into the pond.

Mix News spoke to Greenpeace Climate Coordinator Dave Martin around 1:30 this afternoon. He said security had detained them at that time and he expected RCMP to be on the way.

 The activists say they're here to say the tarsands are an environmental disaster on a scale the world has never seen before.

They say they got onto Syncrude property through a back gate with relative ease.

One man is dead following a collision between a motorcycle and a semi truck on the outskirts of our city this morning.

The crash happened at 7:30 a.m. on Airport Road, as RCMP say it looks like the motorcycle tried to pass the semi, just as the truck was making a left turn.

The man on the bike was pronounced dead at the scene.

His name is being withheld until next of kin are notified.

The Suncor Energy Foundation is putting a couple million bucks into health care in the city, and will get a little recognition as a result.

The Suncor Foundation is investing 2 million dollars in the Northern Lights Regional Health Foundation to fund programs and the purchase of new equipment.

In return, the new Timberlea community health and wellness centre to be constructed in the future will be named after the Suncor Energy Foundation.
