  3. Driver nag-plea guilty sa nakamamatay na impaired-driving crash sa Leduc County noong 2025. Si Amy Patricia Krautt, 39, nag-plea guilty sa dalawang bilang ng impaired driving na nagdulot ng kamatayan para sa banggaan noong Abril 2, 2025 malapit sa Highway 21 at Township Road 502 na kumitil sa buhay nina Kean at Shirley Konchenew; sinabi sa korte na kinuha ang dugo ni Krautt limang oras matapos ang crash para sa pagsusuri.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Imbestigasyon sa drug-trafficking sa Red Deer nag-ani ng higit isang kilo ng pinaghihinalaang fentanyl; isang suspek nawawalang. Nakuha ng RCMP mahigit isang kilo ng pinaghihinalang fentanyl, mga 334 gramo ng cocaine, 24 gramo ng crystal meth at $15,000 matapos ang isang traffic stop sa 30 Avenue at isang search warrant sa kapitbahayan ng Lancaster; isang 23-anyos na lalaki mula Surrey hindi dumalo sa korte at hinahanap ng RCMP ang kanyang kinaroroonan.
  2. Opisyal ng pederal nakipagkita sa mga opisyal ng Edmonton para talakayin ang kaligtasan sa downtown.

🏛️ Gobyerno at Politika

  1. Alberta ipinagpaliban ang mga patakaran sa bandila at awit sa paaralan hanggang sa huling bahagi ng taon. Inudlot ng probinsiya ang bagong mga limitasyon kung anong mga bandila ang puwedeng iwagayway sa mga paaralan at ang lingguhang mandato sa pambansang awit na nakatakdang magsimula noong Set. 1, habang kinumpirma na ang iba pang bahagi ng batas — isang student code of conduct at mga requirement para sa pagiging neutral ng mga guro — ay mag-eefektibo pa rin sa susunod na buwan.
  2. Elections Alberta ipinagtanggol ang Voterlink matapos mga maling impormasyon tungkol sa de-registrations. Sinabi ng Chief Electoral Officer Gordon McClure na walang registrasyon ng botante ang maaaring tanggalin sa pamamagitan ng Voterlink at ang mga botanteng hindi lumipat o nagpalit ng pangalan malamang ay naka-rehistro pa rin, bilang pagtutol sa mga online na post na iniuugnay ang mga claim ng de-registration sa isang nakaraang data leak.
  3. Pederal-probinsiyal na programa sa imprastruktura sa pabahay maaaring magbukas ng $428M para sa mga proyekto sa Alberta. Naglaan ang Ottawa ng $510 million sa pamamagitan ng Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund sa anunsyo noong Hulyo 29; maaaring kunin ng mga munisipalidad sa Alberta ang humigit-kumulang $428 million na matching funding para suportahan ang tubig at wastewater infrastructure, at nakalista ang Edmonton sa mga kwalipikadong munisipalidad.
  4. First Nation nagwagi ng unang hakbang sa legal na pag-apela kaugnay ng Wonder Valley data centre project. Ipinahintulot ng federal court sa First Nation ang isang maagang panalo sa pahintulot para sa judicial review na konektado sa Wonder Valley project, na nagpapahintulot ng karagdagang legal na pagsisiyasat sa mga pag-apruba at proseso ng konsultasyon na binanggit sa aplikasyon.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Alberta magsasagawa ng pag-aaral sa pangmatagalang kapasidad ng tubig para sa paglago. Inanunsyo ng pamahalaang probinsiya ang isang pag-aaral kung kayang suportahan ng kasalukuyang suplay ng tubig ang inaasahang paglago ng populasyon at ekonomiya, naglalaan ng mga yaman para suriin ang mga limitasyon sa suplay at pangangailangan sa imprastruktura sa buong komunidad ng Alberta, kasama ang mga sistema ng lungsod at kanayunan.
  2. Mga beekeepers sa Alberta naghahanda sa mga tariff ng U.S. sa pinakamalaking rehiyon ng produksyon ng honey sa Canada. Inihahanda ng mga prodyuser sa rehiyon na nagbibigay ng karamihan ng honey ng Canada ang sarili nila para sa naanunsyong tariffs ng U.S. na maaaring makaapekto sa demand sa export at presyo ng honey ng Alberta, habang sinusuri ng mga lokal na operasyon ang pinansyal na epekto at access sa merkado.
  3. Pagbebenta ng malaking Canadian payments company sa U.S. private equity nagbubunsod ng mga tanong sa digital privacy. Ang nalalapit na bentahan ng isang pangunahing Canadian payment processor sa isang U.S. private equity buyer ay nagdulot ng pagsusuri tungkol sa paghawak ng datos at proteksyon ng privacy para sa mga Canadian na customer; sinusuri ng mga pambansang regulator at mga industry group ang mga posibleng implikasyon.

🏥 Kalusugan

  1. Stollery Children’s Hospital magbubukas ng bagong pediatric surgery clinic sa Edmonton. Inanunsyo ng Stollery ang plano na magbukas ng isang dedikadong pediatric surgery clinic, pinalalawak ang surgical services para sa mga bata sa Edmonton; layunin ng clinic na pag-isahin ang pre-op at follow-up care sa loob ng pediatric program ng ospital.
  2. Private plasma clinic Grifols huminto pansamantala sa lahat ng koleksyon sa Canada. Ipinaalam ng Grifols sa mga site sa Canada na pinahinto muna nila ang koleksyon ng plasma sa buong bansa, na nakaapekto sa mga sentro na nagsusuplay ng plasma-derived medicines at posibleng mag-antala ng lokal na operasyon ng koleksyon at mga appointment ng donor sa Alberta.
  3. Imbestigasyon nagrekomenda ng involuntary care option matapos overdose death ng Alberta teen. Tinawag ng isang public inquiry tungkol sa pagkamatay ng isang tinedyer dahil sa overdose ang agarang pagpapakilala ng mga hakbang para sa involuntary care; kasama sa ulat ang mga rekomendasyon na naglalayong baguhin ang tugon ng mga sistema ng kalusugan at sosyal para sa mga kabataang high-risk.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Ipinagdiriwang ang 150 taon ng Treaty 6; inilista ang mga kaganapan sa Alberta at Saskatchewan. Sa paggunita ng sesquicentennial ng Treaty 6, inilathala ng probinsiya ang iskedyul ng mga paggunita sa buong Alberta at Saskatchewan na nag-aalok ng mga pampublikong seremonya at Indigenous-led programming para markahan ang ika-150 anibersaryo.
  2. Isang indie game studio sa Edmonton lumilipat patungo sa mas mapanganib na ambisyong blockbuster. Inilarawan ng lokal na studio sa Edmonton ang paglipat mula sa maliliit na proyekto tungo sa mas mapanganib, high-budget na mga pamagat na umaasa sa karanasan ng koponan sa paggawa ng high-production games, na naglalayong palakihin ang development at akitin ang mas malawak na merkado.
  3. Patuloy na naapektuhan ng mga wildfire sa B.C. ang turismo kahit malayo sa apoy. Ipinapakita ng mga ulat na ang usok at mga alalahanin sa paglalakbay mula sa mga wildfire sa Okanagan ay nagpapababa ng bilang ng mga bisita sa mga bayan ng Alberta na nasa daan-daang kilometro ang layo, na nakaapekto sa lokal na hospitality at iskedyul ng mga festival.
  4. Royal Canadian Legion naglunsad ng malaking membership drive sa pag-abot ng 100 taon. Ipinagdiwang ng Legion ang sentenaryo nito sa pamamagitan ng pinakamalaking recruitment push na kanilang tinatawag, nagtatakda ng mga target para sa paglago ng miyembro at nag-iskedyul ng outreach events sa mga komunidad ng Alberta, kabilang ang mga sangay sa paligid ng Edmonton.

🏈 Sports

  1. Edmonton Elks winosak ang Toronto Argonauts 42-12; umakyat sa 7-3. Sa Edmonton, nakakuha ang Elks ng 27 puntos mula sa anim na turnovers ng Toronto, kabilang ang 85-yard interception return ni J.J. Ross, itinulak ang koponan sa 7-3 at pansamantalang pumuwesto sa unang pwesto sa CFL West Division sa ilalim ni coach Mark Kilam.
  2. Elks bumangon matapos sunod-sunod na pagkatalo bago ang rematch kontra Argos. Maaga sa linggo hinarap ng Elks (6-3 noon) ang mga kritisismo matapos ang 48-30 na talo laban sa Montreal Alouettes; tinuturing ng mga manlalaro at coach ang laro kontra Toronto bilang mahalaga para sa identidad ng koponan at pag-abot sa playoffs.
  3. B.C. Lions tinalo ang Stampeders 30-26; Calgary nabahala sa mga injury. Nakamit ng Lions ang kanilang ikatlong sunod na panalo para umabot sa 4-5 matapos ang interception ni T.J.
