🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Isasara ang Bearspaw feeder main nang mas mababa sa isang linggo sa Setyembre. Sinabi ni Mayor Jeromy Farkas na ang pansamantalang paghinto ay magtatapos ng gawaing elektrikal sa bagong pumping station at maaaring magdulot ng limitadong pagbabawal sa pagdidilig sa labas; ang feeder main ang nagbibigay ng 60% ng pinoprosesong tubig para sa 1.6 milyong residente ng Calgary, mga kalapit na munisipalidad at ang Tsuut’ina Nation.
  2. Minister ng Alberta maghahawak ng pangalawang town hall tungkol sa artipisyal na intelihensiya at sentro ng datos sa Sturgeon County. Dadalo si Technology Minister Nate Glubish sa isang town hall sa Redwater tungkol sa planong $13-billion na proyekto ng Meta para sa data centre, matapos siyang pagtawanan sa isang pulong sa Lacombe; sasama si Premier Danielle Smith sa isang virtual town hall sa Aug. 27.
  3. Tech sector ng Calgary nagtala ng 56% na paglago, nagdagdag ng 28,900 trabaho. Sinasabi ng ulat ng CBRE na tumaas ang tech employment sa Calgary ng 28,900 posisyon sa loob ng tatlong taon; pinapurihan ng CEO ng Platform Calgary na si Jen Lussier ang cross‑sector tech sa energy, clean tech at agriculture at binanggit ang innovation strategy ng lungsod bilang patakarang gulugod.
  4. Mga organizer ng Edmonton Pride ipinagtanggol ang presensya ng pulisya matapos ang backlash mula sa mga advocacy group. Sinabi ng Edmonton PrideFest na magbibigay ng seguridad ang pulisya bilang tugon sa mga kamakailang pag-atake sa Vancouver at Berlin; nag-anunsyo ng paghihiwalay ang mga grupong kasama ang RaricaNow, na nagbanggit ng historikal na pagmamaltrato sa LGBTQ+ at mga racialized na komunidad.

  3. Ottawa Redblacks bumagsak sa 0‑10 matapos matalo ng 46‑16 laban sa Montreal.
