🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Nagsimulang maghukay ang NAIT sa isang $779-million na Advanced Skills Centre na magdaragdag ng 5,500 na puwesto para sa mga estudyante. Ayon sa NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, institusyong teknikal sa Edmonton), ang 625,000-square-foot na sentro sa hilagang bahagi ng campus ay maglalaman ng 29 na programa sa trades at magtataas ng taunang kapasidad nang higit sa 15,000 estudyante; ang proyekto ay pinopondohan ng 75 porsiyento ng isang $384-million na kontribusyon mula sa probinsya at inaasahang matatapos pagsapit ng taglagas ng 2030.

  2. Hinimok ng Business Council of Alberta ang mga Albertan na "Pumili ng Canada" bago ang plebisitong secession sa Okt. 19. Sinabi ng council (samahan ng mahigit 130 CEO) na magdudulot ng “malawakang kawalang-katiyakan” ang paghihiwalay at tinawag ang pangakong magiging “master of its own destiny” bilang isang “piksiyon,” hinihimok ang mga nagdadalawang-isip na isaalang-alang ang mga panganib sa ekonomiya.

  3. Hinaharap ng lider ng separatistang Alberta na si Jeffrey Rath ang isang $108.9-million na demanda sa utang mula sa U.S. funder Diriba Investments. Ayon sa mga dokumento ng korte, iniaangkin na ang RathPC ay nag-default sa isang financing agreement na konektado sa mga kasong ligal dalawang taon na ang nakalipas; ang hinihiling ay halos $109 million dagdag ang interes at gastos, at ayon sa mga legal na eksperto, maaaring pilitin ng isang secured creditor ang pagpapatupad laban sa mga ari-arian ni Rath.

Environment

  1. Nagpahayag ng hamon sa korte ang mga may-ari ng lupa laban sa orphan well levy ng Alberta Energy Regulator, binanggit ang $1.66 billion na gastos sa paglilinis. Ang mga aplikante, na kinakatawan ng Ecojustice (Environmental public-interest law organization), ay nagsabing ang imbentaryo para sa paglilinis ng Orphan Well Association (samahan para sa abandonment/cleanup ng mga balon ng langis) ay tinatayang $1.66 billion habang ang levy para sa 2026-27 ay itinakda sa $154.56 million, tumaas mula $144.45 million noong nakaraang taon; naghahanap sila ng judicial review sa Court of King’s Bench (hukuman ng probinsya).

  2. Na-film ang isang maliit na itim na oso na gumala sa mga kapitbahayan ng Cumberland at Canossa nang gabi sa northwest Edmonton. Nakuhanan ng mga residente ng video bandang madaling araw habang gumagalaw ang oso sa pagitan ng mga bakuran sa Castle Downs; sinabi ng mga testigo na hindi ito nagpakita ng agresyon, at naitala ng isang security camera ang hayop na nilulad ng hinahabol ng isang coyote sa isang cul-de-sac.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Binaligtad ng Edmonton Elks ang 18-point na diperensya para talunin ang Calgary Stampeders 38-28 noong Labour Day. Bumawi ang Elks at nakuha ang panalo sa Calgary noong Araw ng Paggawa (Labour Day), resulta na nakaapekto sa CFL standings at iniulat sa recap ng laro.

  2. Nagpapatuloy ang pagtutol ng mga magulang sa sobrang screen time sa silid-aralan sa lumalalang 'techlash' laban sa teknolohiya sa paaralan. Ayon sa mga ulat, tinatanong ng mga grupong magulang ang dami ng paggamit ng screens sa klase at hinihikayat ang mga school system na limitahan ang paggamit ng mga device sa mga leksyon habang lumalago ang debate tungkol sa teknolohiya sa loob ng klase.
