🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Alberta nagsimula ng mga town hall tungkol sa AI data-centre ngayong linggo; Lacombe ang unang pagkikita ngayong gabi. Sosyahin ni Minister Nate Glubish ang sesyon sa Lacombe bilang bahagi ng serye na may Sturgeon County sa Aug. 20 at Grande Prairie sa Sept. 11; sasali naman si Premier Danielle Smith sa isang virtual town hall sa Aug. 27. Plano ng Meta ng isang $13-billion data centre complex sa Sturgeon County na naka-link sa Greenlight Electricity Centre na inaasahang tatakbo bago ang 2030.
  2. Humihingi ng tulong ang Elections Alberta mula sa ibang hurisdiksiyon para patakbuhin ang fall referendum. Naglabas ang ahensya ng panawagan para sa operational support para sa naka-iskedyul na referendum ngayong taglagas, humahanap ng staff at logistical na tulong mula sa ibang probinsiya at teritoryo para sa pag-admin ng pagboto at pagbilang sa buong Alberta.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Nag-sorry ang Edmonton Marathon matapos matagpuan ang dagdag na 675 metro sa 42.2-kilometre course. Sinabi ng race director na si Tom Keogh na nagmula ang error sa maling kalkulasyon ng detour offset; mahigit 10,000 na runners ang naka-rehistro. Makikipagtrabaho ang Athletics Canada sa event para alamin kung paano maaapektuhan ang qualifying times para sa mga karera tulad ng Boston.
  2. Hinikayat ng Métis Government ang isang bayan sa northeastern Alberta na ibalik ang makasaysayang pangalan nito. Pormal na tinawagan ng national Métis Government ang hindi pinangalanang bayan na ibalik ang isang makasaysayang pangalan bilang bahagi ng cultural restoration, binanggit ang ugnayan ng komunidad sa kasaysayan at mga heritage site ng Métis sa northeastern Alberta.
  3. Naabot ng mayor at lungsod ng Wetaskiwin ang pansamantalang kasunduan para sa kanyang pagbabalik sa city hall. Tinapos ng kasunduang inanunsyo sa pagitan ng Mayor at Wetaskiwin city council ang kanyang pagliban at pinapayagan siyang ipagpatuloy ang tungkulin sa ilalim ng interim terms na itinakda ng council; hindi isinapubliko ng pahayag ang eksaktong haba ng pansamantalang ayos.
  4. Maaaring makuha ng Edmonton Elks ang season-series edge laban sa Winnipeg kung mananalo sa home game ngayong Biyernes. Ang Elks (7-3) ay haharap sa Blue Bombers (5-4) sa Edmonton; isang panalo sa home ang magtutulak sa Edmonton ng anim na puntos sa West Division at magsisiguro ng season series tiebreaker, matapos ang 23-18 road win nila sa Winnipeg noong June 25.
