Humo, búsqueda y un récord de los Stampeders — Resumen semanal de Calgary

48 articulos hace 1 hora 4

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. La policía de Calgary trasladó el puesto de mando de búsqueda del menor desaparecido de 11 años, Parker, a Nose Hill Park. El puesto se movió aproximadamente un kilómetro hacia el oeste desde Thorncliffe School para facilitar el acceso a instalaciones para las labores de búsqueda e investigación cuando la búsqueda entró en su noveno día; Parker fue visto por última vez el 16 de julio cerca de Travis Crescent N.E. y es no verbal y neurodivergente.

  2. Un practicante de paddleboard fue sacado del río Bow y llevado al hospital en estado crítico tras chocar contra un pilón cerca del puente de la calle 85. El Departamento de Bomberos de Calgary inició RCP en el hombre tras encontrarlo boca abajo alrededor de la 1:10 p.m. del jueves y lo entregó a los paramédicos de AHS para su traslado al Foothills Medical Centre; el CFD advirtió sobre las correas de tobillo en aguas en movimiento.

  3. Personal del CTrain informó haber visto a un hombre “haciendo turismo” en un tren de carga de CPKC antes de que descarrilara en Calgary. El personal de tránsito observó al individuo en el tren de carga previo al descarrilamiento, relato que las autoridades difundieron mientras los investigadores examinaban el incidente y su impacto en las operaciones ferroviarias y del CTrain en la ciudad.

  4. Residentes cercanos al incendio forestal Fiftynine Creek en Columbia Británica dicen que intentarán defender sus casas a medida que aumentan las evacuaciones. Unos 193 inmuebles estaban bajo orden de evacuación y 104 en alerta de evacuación en el Thompson-Nicola Regional District; la Villa de Clinton emitió orden de evacuación para todas las propiedades y algunos residentes reportaron que intentarían usar maquinaria pesada para proteger construcciones.

🏈 Sports

  1. Tyreik McAllister hizo historia en la CFL cuando los Stampeders de Calgary vencieron a los Blue Bombers 52-30. McAllister anotó un touchdown por carrera, otro por recepción y devolvió un intento de gol de campo fallado 118 yardas —el primer jugador en anotar de tres maneras distintas en un partido de la CFL desde 1988— liderando a Calgary a una victoria dominante el viernes por la noche en Winnipeg.

  2. Nick Arbuckle salió desde la banca y ayudó a los Argonauts a una victoria 26-12 sobre los B.C. Lions. Arbuckle completó 13 de 20 pases para 134 yardas tras la salida por lesión del titular Chad Kelly; Toronto mejoró a 3-4 y cortó una racha de tres derrotas en el enfrentamiento en Vancouver.

  3. El suplente Chase Brice será titular por los B.C. Lions ante la lesión de Nathan Rourke. Rourke se lesionó el hombro al inicio del partido de la semana pasada, y Brice —que completó 20 de 32 para 226 yardas y un touchdown en tareas de cierre— toma el mando tras una semana de repeticiones en práctica.

  4. El gol de campo de 57 yardas de Vincent Blanchard dio a los Edmonton Elks un triunfo 36-34 sobre los Roughriders. El intento de Blanchard en la última jugada cerró un partido en el que Cody Fajardo lanzó para 510 yardas y cuatro touchdowns, mientras los Elks mejoraron a 6-1.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Parks Canada presentó cargos reglamentarios contra dos senderistas cuyo perro suelto siguió a un oso grizzly en el Parque Nacional Banff. Los guardaparques identificaron a la pareja a partir de video del encuentro del 19 de julio en la senda Taylor Lake y los acusaron bajo la Canada National Parks Act por tener un perro sin correa cerca de fauna silvestre.

  2. Un juez declaró culpables a cuatro hombres por participar en los disturbios de Falconridge de 2023. El tribunal emitió veredictos contra los acusados en el caso vinculado a altercados en el barrio Falconridge durante los hechos de 2023.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Elections Alberta verificó cerca de 223,000 firmas en una petición separatista, superando el umbral de 178,000. Los funcionarios contaron casi 223,000 nombres válidos de casi 280,000 presentaciones, aunque la petición ha sido anulada en los tribunales y está sujeta a apelaciones relacionadas con la pregunta del referéndum provincial del 19 de octubre.

  2. La primera ministra Danielle Smith cuestionó las finanzas de terceros mientras el grupo Forever Canadian defendía sus normas de gasto. Smith dijo que la sorprendía que el grupo no tuviera que revelar su financiamiento; se citaron a continuación las pautas de Forever Canadian y la Elections Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act.

  3. La alcaldesa de Calgary, Naheed Nenshi, advirtió sobre el aumento de los costos del referéndum provincial. Las preocupaciones de la ciudad surgieron mientras continuaba la planificación del referéndum provincial; Nenshi describió el gasto del referéndum como en aumento, lo que señala el escrutinio municipal sobre el gasto provincial en la votación.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Los sobrecargos de WestJet votaron en un 99.4% a favor de acciones de huelga, citando trabajo no remunerado como problema central. Los 4,400 miembros de CUPE Local 8125 fijaron una posible fecha de huelga tan pronto como el 2 de agosto, lo que llevó a WestJet a permitir cambios o cancelaciones sin cargo una sola vez para reservas del 30 de julio al 4 de agosto.

  2. WestJet anunció que los pasajeros pueden cambiar o cancelar ciertos vuelos sin cargo debido a la amenaza de huelga. La aerolínea ofreció flexibilidad para viajeros con vuelos durante el crítico período de fin de julio a principios de agosto mientras continuaban las negociaciones.

🏥 Health

  1. La calidad del aire en Calgary alcanzó más de 10 en el IQHI de Environment Canada y se ubicó entre las peores del mundo en IQAir. El humo de incendios forestales llevó a la ciudad a la categoría más alta del IQHI, “riesgo muy alto”, el viernes; la vecina Red Deer también apareció en el rango de riesgo muy alto.

  2. Un estudio canadiense encontró que las visitas hospitalarias por migraña aumentan durante episodios de humo de incendios. Los investigadores vincularon el incremento de consultas de urgencia por migraña a eventos de humo, señalando la correlación entre la exposición al humo y los efectos neurológicos registrados en datos hospitalarios.

  3. El virus del Oeste del Nilo se detectó en mosquitos de Calgary más temprano de lo habitual este año. La vigilancia de salud pública identificó el virus en muestras locales de mosquitos en una fecha estacional más temprana comparada con las cronologías típicas.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Agentes inmobiliarios de Calgary coordinan búsquedas en casas vacías como parte del esfuerzo por encontrar al menor desaparecido Parker. Los agentes han revisado armarios, cobertizos y garajes en calles que la policía identificó como de especial interés, incluyendo Travis Street y Thomas Street N.E., y mantienen contacto regular con los investigadores.

  2. El Calgary Folk Fest comenzó en condiciones de calor y humo que afectan a la ciudad. Organizadores y asistentes iniciaron el festival de varios días mientras Environment Canada había emitido avisos de calor y el humo de incendios reducía la calidad del aire en la región.

🌦️ Weather & Roads

  1. Los condados de Thorhild y Westlock declararon estados de desastre agrícola tras lluvias veraniegas incesantes. Thorhild declaró el desastre el 17 de julio citando precipitaciones récord en junio y tormentas intensas en julio; Westlock hizo una declaración similar el 12 de julio por campos saturados.

  2. Se emitieron avisos de calor para la mayor parte del sur y centro-este de Alberta. Environment Canada emitió los avisos mientras las temperaturas aumentaban en la región durante la semana, provocando notificaciones de salud y servicios locales.
