💼 經濟與商業

  1. 聯邦加元5.1億住房基礎建設基金,恐為亞伯達省釋出約加元4.28億配套資金以支援專案。 聯邦在7月29日於瑞迪爾宣布通過加拿大住房基礎建設基金承諾加元5.1億;省府表示可由此解鎖約加元4.28億配對資金,且愛德蒙頓將承擔合資格專案成本約三分之一,使市政的供水與污水工程能與新建住宅開發相連結。
  2. 法院批准加元450萬西捷航空(WestJet)空服員騷擾集體訴訟和解。 一名卑詩省法官本週簽署此加元450萬和解案;原告表示個別平均賠付不到加元500,和解也要求西捷航空委託獨立騷擾評估。

🏛️ 政府與政治

  1. 亞省選舉辦公室表示 Voterlink 未在10月19日公投前刪除選民登記。 最高選務官戈登·麥克盧爾告知亞伯達居民,Voterlink 無法刪除登記,且曾於過去省選投票且未搬遷或改名的人,很可能仍在選民名冊上。
  2. 省府延後今年稍晚實施新學校旗幟限制與每週升國歌規定。 與春季法案相關的規定——包括部長有權命名學校——原訂自9月1日生效,但教育部表示為便於諮詢,旗幟與國歌的變動將在今年較晚實施;其他條款如新學生行為守則仍將於下月開始實施。
  3. 皇家騎警在瑞迪爾查扣:疑似芬太尼逾1公斤與加元1.5萬現金。 7月一次交通攔查及隨後在蘭卡斯特社區的搜索,警方查獲超過一公斤疑似芬太尼、約334公克可卡因、24公克甲基安非他命及加元1.5萬現金;一名22歲卡爾加里男子遭起訴,23歲的拉賓德·辛格·戈薩爾(Ravinder Singh Gosal)未出庭。

🏈 體育

  1. 愛德蒙頓麋鹿隊(Edmonton Elks,戰績6勝3負)力圖從連敗中反彈,本週六主場迎戰多倫多阿爾戈(Toronto Argonauts)。 麋鹿隊遭遇兩連敗——其中一場以30比48敗給蒙特婁並讓對手得48分——球隊正備戰對多倫多阿爾戈,力求重振西區戰力。
  2. 卑詩獅子(B.C. Lions)30比26擊敗卡爾加里,內森·魯克(Nathan Rourke)傳球301碼。 獅子隊周四勝場提升至4勝5負,魯克傳球301碼並衝球達陣,生涯CFL傳球達陣達到100次;卡爾加里吞下本季第四場以四分或更少分差輸球。
