Aumento de fondos para el Werklund, Alerta AMBER y más rescates en ríos — Calgary, lunes

20 articulos hace 6 horas 3

🚑 Últimas e incidentes

  1. Alerta AMBER emitida dos días después de la desaparición de un niño no verbal de 11 años en Calgary; búsqueda con 300 policías. El menor, identificado públicamente solo como “Parker”, desapareció el 16 de julio y la policía movilizó a más de 120 miembros entrenados de búsqueda y rescate además de decenas de voluntarios. Alberta concedió una exención para que se pudiera emitir una Alerta AMBER pese a que el caso no cumplía los criterios legales habituales.

  2. Bomberos de Calgary dicen que las llamadas por rescates acuáticos en 2026 superan a 2025 y podrían batir récords. El subjefe adjunto James Docherty dijo a los periodistas que las brigadas van en camino de superar los máximos anteriores, ya que más personas usan el Bow y el Elbow; comenzó la temporada de avisos y las autoridades recordaron medidas de seguridad por la Semana Nacional de Prevención de Ahogamientos.

  3. En la audiencia se dijo que el riesgo de avalancha se calificó como ‘moderado’ el día en que Spencer Postman murió en Haddo Peak. Brian Webster, gerente de Parques Canadá para la seguridad de visitantes, declaró que el pronóstico del 5 de abril de 2021 para Banff no se actualizó y que Postman, de 26 años y residente de Canmore, tuvo acceso a la información publicada; el juez Karl Wilberg encabeza la investigación que recomendará mejoras de seguridad.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La administración municipal pide que Calgary duplique su compromiso con el Werklund Centre de 63 millones de dólares canadienses a 125 millones de dólares canadienses en medio de un déficit de financiamiento de 270.5 millones de dólares canadienses. Documentos presentados al Comité Asesor de Arts Commons muestran 74.5 millones de dólares canadienses comprometidos hasta ahora y el director ejecutivo Alex Sarian dijo que la instalación, con más de 40 años, necesita trabajos de ciclo de vida; el concejal del distrito 6, John Pantazopoulos, instó al consejo a aprobar el aumento.

  2. El Tribunal Federal ordena a la prisión de Edmonton tomar medidas tras dos décadas de quejas por calor extremo. El tribunal instruyó al Servicio Correccional de Canadá a registrar temperaturas y solicitar autorización para instalar aire acondicionado en la unidad segura de la Edmonton Institution for Women después de que una declaración jurada reportara una celda por encima de 40 °C.

  3. Ya están abiertas las solicitudes para boletas especiales por correo del referéndum de Alberta.
