💼 Economy & Business

  1. Nagbabala ang Downtown Revitalization Coalition na posibleng mas maraming magsara matapos ang ‘mahigit kalahating dosenang’ restawran magsara ngayong tag-init. Hinihiling ng DRC sa Downtown Economic Stabilization Plan na ideklara ng city council na agarang prayoridad ang pagpapatatag ng downtown at igawad sa city manager ang kapangyarihan na kumilos, binanggit ang konstruksyon, alalahanin sa pampublikong kaligtasan at ang 2:1 na ratio ng pagsasara-sa-pagbubukas na iniulat ni Heather Thomson, bise‑presidente ng Edmonton Chamber. Nag-udyok ang DRC ng aksyon bago pa magsara ang mas maraming negosyo maliban sa mga restawran.
  2. Malugod na tinanggap ng Rig Hand Distillery ang MOU ng mga premier na nagpapahintulot ng direktang benta sa pagitan ng mga probinsya. Pinapayagan ng memorandum of understanding na nilagdaan ng karamihan sa mga premier na magpadala ng mga distiller gamit ang Canada Post, at sinabi ni Geoff Stewart ng Leduc County distillery na magbibigay-daan ito para makapag-ship sa New Brunswick at British Columbia; hindi pa pumipirma ang Quebec at Yukon.

🏥 Health

  1. Iniulat ng Canadian Blood Services ang 20% na pagbaba ng suplay at kailangan ng humigit-kumulang 18,000 naka-book na appointment lingguhan.

  2. Nanawagan ang Friends of Medicare sa Ottawa na dagdagan ang pederal na pondo sa kalusugan na may kundisyon kasunod ng plano ng Alberta para sa pribadong operasyon. Nagpahayag si Director Chris Galloway sa isang protesta sa Charlottetown kung saan mahigit 100 katao ang nagtipon habang nagkakalkal ang mga premier; plano ng pamahalaang Alberta na imbitahan ang mga siruhano ngayong tag-init upang maningil nang pribado para sa elective procedures gaya ng hip at knee replacements simula ngayong taglagas.

  1. Nanalo si Paula Findlay ng Edmonton ng kanyang unang full Ironman sa Lake Placid sa 8:47:43. Tinapos ni Findlay, 37, ang 140.6‑mile (226‑km) na karera noong Linggo, nakuha ang kwalipikasyon para sa Kona world championship, at nagtala ng pinakamahusay na bike split para sa kababaihan na 4:50:26 sa 180‑km na pag‑ride.
  2. Naghahanda ang Saskatchewan Roughriders na harapin ang Edmonton Elks matapos ang pagkamatay ni Jayden Dalke.

  2. Pinagdudahan ng publiko ang panukala para sa bagong reservoir sa central Alberta sa isang lokal na konsultasyon. Nagdulot ng mga tanong at alalahanin mula sa mga dumalo ang panukalang reservoir para sa central Alberta ayon sa ulat ng nasabing pulong.

🌦️ Weather & Roads

  1. Kinumpirma ng Environment Canada na dalawang tornado ang tumama malapit sa Rocky Mountain House noong Hulyo 18. Ang unang twister ay tumama 6:18 p.m. timog ng Rocky Mountain House at ang pangalawa 6:36 p.m. silangan ng bayan, nag-ugat ng mga puno, sumira ng mga bahay at outbuildings, at nagdulot ng pinsala sa dalawang hayop; nag-ulat ang mga lokal ng hail na kasinglaki ng golf ball.
  2. Ang usok mula sa wildfire sa Ontario ang nagpagbago sa kalangitan ng malalayong siyudad, na naging kulay orange.
