18 articulos hace 1 semana 163

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Dos hombres apuñalados durante oraciones matinales en el gurdwara Nanaksar; sospechoso detenido. El ataque ocurrió la mañana del viernes en el templo sij en Manning Drive, entre Edmonton y Fort Saskatchewan. Líderes del templo dijeron que dos hombres mayores fueron apuñalados y se cree que están en condición estable. Representantes del templo dijeron que feligreses redujeron a un sospechoso de piel blanca hasta la llegada de la policía.
  2. Espeleólogo liberado tras rescate de 12 horas en Rat’s Nest Cave usando nueva tecnología de radio para cuevas. El espeleólogo quedó atrapado alrededor de las 11:30 a.m. y fue liberado cerca de las 10:00 p.m. tras una operación que involucró a 13 rescatistas de cueva, 10 bomberos y dos miembros del rescate de Kananaskis Mountain; radios de cueva construidos por voluntarios se usaron en un rescate en vivo por primera vez.

🏈 Sports

  1. La Walter Cup fue consignada al contenedor equivocado y no llegó a la visita en Lethbridge. La PWHL dijo que la versión de la Walter Cup entregada a las campeonas “no llegó como se esperaba” cuando se envió a Lethbridge para el acto público planeado con la delantera de Montreal Victoire, Dara Greig, y la liga trabaja con la compañía de envíos para localizar el trofeo de plata de ley que pesa alrededor de 35 libras.
  2. Brooke Henderson está 5 bajo par tras la segunda ronda del CPKC Women’s Open en Edmonton. Henderson firmó una segunda ronda de 68 para situarse 5 bajo y quedó detrás de la líder del casillero, Soo Bin Joo, que estaba 9 bajo en Royal Mayfair; el evento de 2.75 millones de dólares recorta a los mejores 65 jugadores y empates.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. El hospital Lois Hole registró 1,720 nacimientos de mayo a julio, casi 20 por día. El Royal Alexandra Hospital informó 61 pares de gemelos y cuatro tríos durante ese periodo, y la neonatóloga Dra. Sowjanya Sivakoti relacionó el aumento de múltiples con un mayor uso de medicamentos para la fertilidad, lo que contribuye a más ingresos en cuidados intensivos neonatales.
  2. La ciudad de Edmonton sopesa volver al cloruro de calcio para el antihielo invernal. El informe sobre nieve y hielo de la ciudad señala que mociones de concejales pidieron revisar los pros y contras del cloruro de calcio tras un piloto de 2017–2018 que se detuvo en 2019 por preocupaciones sobre corrosión de vehículos e infraestructura; la provincia ya usa cloruro de calcio en Anthony Henday Drive.
