🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Inanunsiyo ni Premier Danielle Smith ang pagtawag ng byelection sa Calgary-Shaw (electoral district) sa 14 Set. Bakante ang upuan mula Mayo nang magbitiw si UCP (konserbatibong partidong panlalawigan) minister Rebecca Schulz; pinangalanan ng UCP si Mike Derry at ang NDP (New Democratic Party — sosyal-demokratang partidong panlalawigan) naman ay nagpasok kay Kyle Campbell, at maglalathala ang Elections Alberta (ahensiyang nangangasiwa sa halalan) ng di-opisyal na resulta pagkaraang magsara ang mga botohan sa araw ng halalan.
  2. Pinuri ng pamahalaan ng Alberta ang hatol ng Ontario appeal court at nagpaplano ng kapangyarihan para sa mga bike-lane ng lalawigan. Sinabi ni Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen na nililinis ng desisyong 14 Ago ang daan para alisin ang mga bike lane at naghahanda ang lalawigan ng panukalang batas ngayong taglagas para bigyan ang sarili ng mas maraming awtoridad habang nagpapatakbo ng online na sistema ng reklamo tungkol sa mga ruta.
  3. Sinabi ng grand chief Joey Pete na ang hindi pagdalo ng Alberta sa pagdiriwang ng ika-150 anibersaryo ng Treaty 6 ay nagpapakita ng kawalan ng paggalang. Nagpahayag ang grand chief ng Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations (konsesyong Indigenous ng Treaty 6) sa isang seremonya sa Edmonton city-hall at inilahad ang mga alalahanin tungkol sa pakikilahok ng lalawigan bago ang isang posibleng referendum sa paghihiwalay ng Alberta at mga usapin sa pipeline.
  4. Tinanggihan ng Alberta Utilities Commission ang plano ng Synapse para sa 1.4 GW na gas-powered data-centre plant sa Olds. Sinabi ng komisyon na ang lokasyon, na iminungkahi ding maglaman ng 1.8 GW na backup diesel generation, ay "hindi angkop"; may humigit-kumulang 1,500 na partido mula sa mga residente ng Olds ang naghangad ng standing at higit sa 900 ang pinayagang makibahagi sa mga pagdinig.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Humihingi ang City of Calgary (lungsod ng Calgary) ng puna sa redevelopment ng Max Bell Park bago magsimula ang konstruksyon taunong 2028. Saklaw ng mga plano ang humigit-kumulang 4,000 sq. metres (mga isang ektarya) para sa amphitheatre seating, isang open plaza at isang overhead framing structure; magtatapos ang public comment window sa 27 Ago at makikita ang mga rendering sa website ng lungsod.
  2. Ipinahayag ng Calgary-born na musikera Jann Arden ang kaniyang kasal kay Icelandic author Thordis Elva sa Instagram (platform ng social media). Nag-post si Arden ng mga larawan na nagpapakita sa mag-asawa at nagwika ng “Wife and wife,” binanggit niya na nag-propose sila noong Bisperas ng Bagong Taon at tinalakay ang mga plano sa kasal sa podcast ni Arden.
