  3. Pinayuhan ang Calgary na maaaring tumaas ang singil sa natural gas habang tinutukoy ang puwang sa imprastruktura. Nagpahiwatig ang mga opisyal ng lungsod ng potensyal na pagtaas sa gastos ng household natural gas na kaugnay ng pagsasaayos sa kakulangan sa municipal infrastructure funding, na nagbunsod ng mga paguusap tungkol sa mga opsyon para punan ang agwat.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  3. Union ng WestJet cabin crew inilatag ang tentatibong kasunduan matapos ang welga.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Pinipilit ng Canada na gumawa ng mas maraming water bomber habang tumataas ang pandaigdigang demand. Haharapin ng Canada ang internasyonal na demand para sa domestically built water‑bomber aircraft na makakatulong sa pagsugpo ng wildfires; pinagdedebate ng federal at industry officials kung kayang i‑scale ng domestic manufacturers ang produksyon nang mabilis para matugunan ang pangangailangan.

Isang pagsusuri sa ekonomiya ng turismo ng Jasper ang nagpakita ng mga natitirang epekto dalawang taon matapos ang malaking sunog, na may patuloy na katanungan tungkol sa bilang ng mga bisita, paggaling ng mga negosyo at provincial supports para sa mga apektadong operator.
  3. Naglabas ng safety guidance para sa mga mag‑'float' sa Bow River ngayong tag‑init. Nagbigay ang mga awtoridad ng payo sa kaligtasan para sa mga taong nagpa‑float sa Bow River ngayong tag‑init, na binigyang‑dinig ang mga kinakailangang pag-iingat at lokal na rescue resources para sa mga river recreationists sa Calgary.

🏈 Sports

  1. Argos bumawi at nanalo sa huling segundong field goal laban sa Calgary Stampeders 33–30. Ang 11‑yard field goal ni Brady Lidster na may 11 segundo na natitira ang nagtapos sa comeback win ng Toronto laban sa Calgary Stampeders; ang Hail Mary attempt ng Calgary ay na‑intercept habang nag‑expire ang oras, iniwang may record na 4–5 ang Stampeders.
  2. Naabot ni Trevor Harris ang 40,000 career CFL passing yards sa panalo ng Roughriders. Nakumpleto ni Harris ang 30 sa 38 passes para sa 401 yards habang tinalo ng Saskatchewan Roughriders ang Ottawa Redblacks 42–20, na nagtulak sa kanyang career total sa 40,352 passing yards at inilagay siya sa ika‑12 lahat‑panahon sa kasaysayan ng CFL.
