What's CITY Talking About
Planned Parenthood Funding Restored

Blood Donations for Pets
A veterinary blood donation program in Millcreek is helping save the lives of dogs and cats in need of transfusions, amid an ongoing animal blood shortage. Canine Blood Heroes collects blood from healthy pets and distributes it to clinics in Utah and beyond. [FOX 13]
Fresh Powder at Utah Ski Resorts
After a slow start to the season, a series of snow storms dumped several feet of snow across Utah ski resorts this past week. Resorts in the Cottonwood canyons saw the biggest gains, allowing more terrain to open, even as a dry spell looms ahead. [Deseret News]
