🏛️ Gobyerno at Politika

  1. Sinabihan ang lungsod na posibleng kailanganin ng higit sa 500 milyong dolyar ng Canada bawat taon para maabot ang mga target sa abot-kayang pabahay ng Calgary. Isang briefing note sa mga konsehal ang naglalarawan ng tatlong opsyon sa pagpopondo: 93M dolyar ng Canada/taon para sa 400-yunit na planong “panatilihing bukas ang serbisyo,” 214M dolyar ng Canada/taon para makabuo ng 1,050 yunit, o 526M dolyar ng Canada/taon para maabot ang target ng lungsod na 3,000 bagong non-market na yunit taun-taon; pagdedebatehan ng konseho ang mga ito sa apat na taong badyet ngayong taglagas.
  2. Ayon kay Premier Smith, itatakda ang byelection sa Calgary‑Shaw kapag makakapag-'pay attention' ang mga Albertan. Bakante ang upuan nang halos dalawang buwan matapos magbitiw si Rebecca Schulz; nagtalaga na ng mga kandidato ang UCP at NDP at sinabi ng premier na magkakaroon ng anunsyo sa mga susunod na linggo.
  3. Halos 800,000 Albertan ang nag-apply para sa 100 dolyar ng Canada na energy rebate, ayon kay Premier Smith. Sinasabi ng lalawigan na mga 3.4 milyong tao ang kwalipikado, inaasahan ang unang mga bayad sa loob ng ilang araw, at iniulat na humarang na ng humigit-kumulang 35,000 mapanlinlang na aplikasyon habang nire-review ang proseso ng aplikasyon.
  4. Nagtala na ang Quebec ng 107 kaso ng cyclosporiasis sa 2026, ayon sa mga opisyal ng kalusugan. Iniulat ng mga awtoridad ng pampublikong kalusugan ang 107 kaso hanggang Hulyo 11 kumpara sa 30 kaso sa parehong panahon noong 2025; iniulat naman ng B.C. ang 93 kaso sa 2026 at karamihan ng mga kaso sa Canada ay mukhang may kaugnayan sa paglalakbay.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Sinasabi ng mga mananaliksik na ang Calgary ay “napaka-espesyal ang lokasyon” para pag-aralan ang mga pagbagyo ng yelo dahil sa mga bundok, kapatagan at jet stream. Binanggit ni Julian Brimelow ng Northern Hail Project ang populasyon ng Calgary na higit sa 1.6 milyon at ang lokasyon nito sa “hailstorm alley,” at ipinunto na ang bagyo noong Agosto 5, 2024 ay nagdulot ng mahigit 2.8 bilyong dolyar ng Canada na pinsala at ito ang pangalawa sa pinakamahal na na-insure na natural na sakuna sa kasaysayan ng Canada.
  2. Muling binuksan ang Bow Glacier Falls Trail sa Banff na may mga warning sign matapos ang rock slide noong Hunyo 2025 na pumatay sa dalawang hikers. Inilabas muli ng Parks Canada ang trail matapos ang geotechnical assessment na nagtukoy ng mga zona na mas mababa ang panganib; ang pagbagsak noong Hunyo 2025 ay ikinamatay nina Jutta Hinrichs, 70, at Hamza Benhilal, 33, at binabalaan ang ulat na posibleng magkaroon pa ng mga karagdagang pagguho ng bato.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Iniimbestigahan ng ASIRT matapos mamatay ang isang lalaki sa isang tunggalian sa Brooks RCMP habang nagsasagawa ng warrant ang mga opisyal. Ayon sa RCMP, nagsimula ang insidente bandang 4 p.m. sa Greenbrook Village nang sinubukan umalis ang suspek, naglabas ng armas, at may isang opisyal na nagdischarge ng service firearm; namatay ang lalaki sa lugar at nagsasagawa ang ASIRT ng independiyenteng pagsisiyasat.
  2. Kinasuhan ng pulisya sa Edmonton ang isang babae kaugnay ng hit-and-run noong Mayo 27 na sinasabing target ang isang Muslim na babae. Iniuugnay ng pulisya na binalak ng suspek na i-box ang biktima, nagbigay ng mga racist na komento, at pagkatapos ay tinamaan ang babae ng kanyang sasakyan bandang 6:45 p.m. malapit sa 82 Street at 144 Avenue; nagsumbong ang suspek noong Hunyo 9 at pinakawalan na may nakatakdang petsa sa hukuman.

🏈 Isports

  1. Naging starting middle linebacker ng Edmonton Elks ang draft pick na si Dariel Djabome matapos masugatan ang hamstring ni Nick Anderson. Naitala ng No. 3 pick ang pitong tackles sa bawat isa sa kanyang unang dalawang simula at isang interception sa kanyang unang pagsisimula; sinabi ng coach na si Mark Kilam na lumampas sa inaasahan si Djabome sa maagang bahagi ng 4-1 na season ng Elks.
  2. Pinangalanang miyembro ng Canadian Football Hall of Fame, class of 2026, si Calvin Tiggle. Si Tiggle, na naglaro ng walong season sa CFL at tumulong sa Hamilton na manalo ng 1999 Grey Cup, ay ipapasok sa seremonya sa Setyembre 17 sa Tim Hortons Field sa Hamilton.
