Pambihirang $13B Meta Data Centre, Rockslide sa Banff, at Pagpupugay sa Fringe Founder — Edmonton Miyerkules

18 artikulo 6 araw ang nakalipas 113

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Inanunsyo ng Meta ang $13 bilyong data centre sa Alberta. Ang napakalaking proyektong ito ay matatagpuan sa Sturgeon County, magbibigay ng trabaho sa 3,000 pagkakagawa at 300 full-time na empleyado pagkatapos. Ang pamumuhunan na ito ay isa sa pinakamalaking pangako ng pribadong sektor sa kasaysayan ng Canada, na nangangako ng makabuluhang benepisyo sa ekonomiya.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Daan

  1. Rockslide sa Banff National Park, pansamantalang isinara ang lugar ng pag-akyat. Isang malaki-laking pagbagsak ng bato ang naganap sa Rundle Rock area, na bagaman walang nasaktan ay nag-iwan ng landas na may kalat ng debris. Dahil dito, pansamantalang isinara ang popular na lugar ng Parks Canada.
  2. Wildfire sa B.C. isinara ang Highway 1 at nagbigay babala ng paglikas. Ang sunog sa Brunswick Creek ay lumawak na sa 18 kilometro kuwadrado, na kinakailangan ang pagsara sa pagitan ng Boston Bar at Ainslie Road North, naapektuhan ang mga manlalakbay at residente.

🚨 Krimen at Kaligtasan ng Publiko

  1. Tapusin ng Auditor General ang imbestigasyon sa health contract sa katapusan ng taon. Inanunsyo ni Phil Peters, auditor general ng Alberta, ang timetable ng pagkumpleto sa patuloy na imbestigasyon sa mga kontrata sa kalusugan, pinapakita ang patuloy na pagbabantay sa gobyerno ni Premier Danielle Smith.
  2. Ang akusado sa Chinatown killings nagpatotoo sa Edmonton trial. Sinabi ni Justin Bone na hindi niya matandaan ang di-umano'y mga pagpatay na inakusahan sa kanya, ipinapakita ang isang magulong panahon bago ang kanyang pag-aresto. Ang paglilitis ay nagpapatuloy habang ang komunidad ay naghahanap ng mga kasagutan.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Inalala ng komunidad ng teatro sa Edmonton si Brian Paisley. Nagbigay pugay ang mga local na artista sa yumaong tagapagtatag ng Fringe Festival, pinapahalagahan ang kanyang malaking ambag sa kalinangan ng Edmonton.

🏈 Sports

  1. Naglalayong mapabuti ng Elks at Redblacks ang kanilang running games. Bago ang laban sa Huwebes, kapwa koponan ay nagsisikap upang palakasin ang kanilang ground games matapos ang mga kamakailang talo. Umaasa ang Elks na makabawi mula sa mahina nilang running effort laban sa B.C. Lions.
