48 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 4

🚑 Pagpapatid at Mga Insidente

  1. Malakas na bagyo nagbaha sa Whitemud Drive; mga underpass naging lawa. Isang thunderstorm noong Sabado ng gabi ang nagdulot ng malakas na pag-ulan sa west Edmonton, na nagpilit isara nang buo ang Whitemud Drive mula 156 Street hanggang 178 Street bandang 10:30 p.m., nag-iwan ng mga sasakyan na na-stranded sa pagbaha sa ilalim ng tulay at nagtungo ang mga bumbero upang tumulong sa mga natrap malapit sa 170 Street overpass; iniulat din ang maraming pagguho ng ramp at underpass.

  2. Isang paddleboarder hinila mula sa Bow River, dinala sa ospital nang kritikal ang kalagayan. Natagpuan ng aquatic rescue team ng Calgary Fire Department ang lalaki na nakadapa at nakakabit sa leash bandang 1:10 p.m. Huwebes malapit sa 85 Street bridge, upstream mula sa Bowness Park; nagsimula ang mga crew ng CPR sa lugar bago dinala siya ng AHS paramedics sa Foothills Medical Centre, at nagbabala ang CFD laban sa paggamit ng ankle leash sa gumagalaw na tubig.

  3. Evacuation sa B.C. dahil sa wildfire; may mga nagdeklara ng depensa sa mga bahay habang kumakalat ang usok at panganib. Nagdulot ang Fiftynine Creek wildfire ng evacuation orders para sa humigit-kumulang 193 properties at alerts para sa 104 properties sa Thompson-Nicola Regional District, at iniulat ng mga residente sa Clinton at kalapit na komunidad na may ilan na piniling manatili at ipagtanggol ang kanilang ari-arian habang naglabas ang village ng full evacuation order para sa mga property sa loob ng mga boundary nito.

🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Elections Alberta nagpatunay ng halos 223,000 pangalan sa separtist petition. Kinumpirma ng ahensya ang mga humigit-kumulang 222,000 validated signatures mula sa halos 280,000 isinumiteng pirma, na lumampas sa humigit-kumulang 178,000 threshold; nananatiling largely moot ang petisyon dahil kinuwestiyon ito ng hukuman noong Mayo at may mga appeal pa habang nagpapatuloy ang lalawigan sa isang Okt. 19 referendum question tungkol sa pananatili sa Canada o pagdaos ng binding vote para umalis.

  2. Pinuno ng lalawigan Danielle Smith nagtanong tungkol sa third‑party financing sa gitna ng referendum campaigning. Ibinahagi ni Smith ang mga alalahanin tungkol sa disclosure para sa Forever Canadian campaign sa interprovincial meetings, na nagdulot ng pushback mula sa kinatawan ng kilusan na si Thomas Lukaszuk at nagbunsod ng pagpuna na ang Elections Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act rules ay kamakailan lang binago at sinusunod ng nasabing campaign.

  3. Patuloy na pagtaas ng gastos sa Alberta referendum, ayon sa dating mayor ng Calgary. Pinuna ni Naheed Nenshi ang tumitinding gastos sa pampublikong paggasta na may kaugnayan sa fall referendum ng lalawigan habang tinatapos ng mga opisyal ang mga plano at logistik bago ang botohan sa Okt. 19.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Isang military captain na ipinanganak sa Edmonton kikilalanin sa bagong Heritage Minute.

  2. ‘Buddy’ ang domestic Cayuga duck ay tumangging ilipat mula sa Lake Summerside. Naninirahan ang domestic Cayuga duck sa man-made Lake Summerside sa southeast Edmonton nang humigit-kumulang tatlong buwan, natagpuan na nabalot sa isang fishing lure, at tinukoy ng mga wildlife rescuer na siya ay domestic breed at hindi angkop ibalik sa ligaw na tirahan.

  3. Bumalik sa northern Alberta ang pambansang disc golf championship matapos ang 25 taon. Nag-host ang Alberta ng unang pambansang disc golf championship sa loob ng isang quarter-century, na nag-attract ng mga disc golfer sa isang northern city para sa provincial- at national-level competition at nagbigay ng panibagong interes sa isport sa rehiyon.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Kalsada

  1. Thorhild at Westlock counties nagdeklara ng agricultural disasters matapos ang walang tigil na ulan. Nagdeklara ang Thorhild ng state of agricultural disaster noong Hulyo 17 dahil sa rekord na pag-ulan noong Hunyo at matitinding bagyo noong Hulyo; gumawa rin ng katulad na deklarasyon ang Westlock noong Hulyo 12 dahil sa nasasawing mga bukid at sobrang kahalumigmigan na nakaapekto sa farmland hilaga ng Edmonton.

  2. Iniulat ng Edmonton na humigit-kumulang 15 beses na mas maraming lamok kaysa ngayong panahon noong nakaraang taon. Sinabi ng isang siyentipiko ng lungsod na ang dami ng lamok sa Edmonton ay mga 15 beses na mas mataas kumpara sa parehong panahon noong nakaraang taon, na sumasalamin sa hindi pangkaraniwang basang kondisyon na kasabay ng surface-water at drainage na mga isyu sa buong rehiyon.

  3. Residente sa northwest outskirts nag-ulat ng bahagi ng lokal na kalsada na gumuho dahil sa erosion. Dokumentado ng may-ari ng ari-arian sa northwestern outskirts ng Edmonton ang isang seksyon ng roadway na gumuho dahil sa erosion, na nagtaas ng mga alalahanin sa lokal na imprastruktura para sa mga rural na residente at nag-udyok ng pansin mula sa munisipyo sa mga nabigong slope at drainage.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Nakahain ng kaso matapos sundan ng grizzly ang mga nagha-hike na may off‑leash dog sa Banff. Sinampahan ng Parks Canada ng kaso ang dalawang nagha-hike ayon sa Canada National Parks Act matapos magpakita ang video ng isang grizzly na sumusunod sa kanila at sa kanilang off‑leash dog sa Taylor Lake trail noong Hulyo 19, at natukoy ng mga warden ang mga tao sa footage na na-post sa social media.

  2. Imbestigasyon ng Edmonton police sa pinaghihinalaang intimate‑partner homicide ng 23‑anyos na babae. Iniulat ng Edmonton police ang pagkamatay ng isang 23-anyos na babae noong Martes bilang isang alleged intimate‑partner homicide; sinabi ng mga imbestigador na aktibong iniimbestigahan ang kaso habang nagpapatuloy silang mangalap ng ebidensya at magsaliksik sa mga saksi.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Mga tindahan sa downtown Edmonton nakakaranas ng sunod-sunod na pagsasara ng mga restawran. Apektado ang mga matagal nang negosyo tulad ng Audrey’s Books sa Jasper Avenue ng downtown construction, Valley Line LRT work at mga alalahanin sa kaligtasan; nanawagan ngayong linggo ang Downtown Revitalization Coalition sa lungsod ng mga hakbang para palakasin ang kaligtasan at accessibility sa core.

  2. Mga flight attendant ng WestJet bumoto nang malakas para sa welga; airline pumayag sa ilang rebookings. Bumoto ang CUPE Local 8125 flight attendants ng 99.4 porsiyento pabor sa strike action noong Hulyo 15, na sumasaklaw sa humigit-kumulang 4,400 miyembro, at nag-alok ang WestJet sa mga pasahero na may booking mula Hulyo 30–Aug. 4 ng one-time na walang-fee change o kanselasyon habang nagpapatuloy ang negosasyon.

🏥 Kalusugan

  1. Mga lokal na grupo nagmo-monitor sa mga senior sa panahon ng init at usok. Sinabi ng Meals on Wheels Edmonton, na naghahatid ng mahigit 300 meals araw-araw, na nagsasagawa ang mga volunteer ng dagdag na wellness checks sa panahon ng matagal na init at wildfire smoke upang tulungan ang mga senior na 65 pataas na may mas mataas na panganib ng heat illness at smoke-related na problema.

  2. Binigyang‑babala ng lungsod na huwag iwan ang mga alagang hayop sa maiinit na sasakyan; mas malaki na ang multa. Iniulat ng Edmonton peace officers ang humigit-kumulang 40 reklamo ng mga hayop na iniwan sa maiinit na kotse mula Mayo hanggang Hulyo 20 ngayong taon kumpara sa 33 noong nakaraang taon, at nagpatupad ng bagong $500 fine para sa pag-iiwan ng hayop sa isang potensyal na mapanganib na sitwasyon, na may kasunod na $1,000 penalty para sa paulit-ulit na paglabag.

🏈 Isports

  2. Tyreik McAllister nagtala ng historikong three‑way scoring night sa 52‑30 panalo ng Calgary. Nakapuntos si McAllister ng rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown at isang 118‑yard missed‑field‑goal return — ang unang manlalaro na nagtala ng tatlong tipo ng puntos sa isang CFL game mula pa noong 1988 — habang tinalo ng Stampeders ang Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
