  1. Bearspaw(貝爾斯波)輸水幹管九月將停運不到一週。 市長傑羅米·法爾卡斯(Jeromy Farkas)表示,此次停運將完成新抽水站的電力工程,並可能觸發有限的戶外澆灌限制;該幹管供應卡爾加里、周邊市鎮與Tsuut’ina Nation(圖西蒂納民族)共160萬居民60%的處理後用水。
  2. 亞伯達省科技部長將在史特根縣舉行第二場人工智慧資料中心市民會。 科技部長內特·格魯比什(Nate Glubish)將出席紅水鎮(Redwater)討論由Meta(美塔)規劃的130億加元資料中心計畫;在拉康布(Lacombe)場次遭到噓聲後,省長丹妮爾·史密斯(Danielle Smith)將於8月27日以視訊方式參加一次市民會。
  3. 卡爾加里科技產業三年成長56%,新增28,900個職缺。 房地產服務公司CBRE報告指出,卡城科技就業在三年內增加28,900個職位;Platform Calgary(Platform Calgary)執行長珍·盧西耶(Jen Lussier)將此歸功於跨產業科技在能源、潔淨科技與農業的滲透,並稱市政府的創新策略為政策支柱。
  4. 埃德蒙頓驕傲節(Edmonton PrideFest)為警察出席辯護,面對倡議團體反彈。 主辦單位表示,考量溫哥華與柏林近期攻擊事件,警方將提供安保;包括拉里卡如今(RaricaNow)等團體表示將終止合作,並援引歷來對性別少數與有色族群的不當對待。

🏈 體育
