🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Premier Smith sasali sa virtual na town hall tungkol sa AI data centres ngayong Huwebes. Sasamahan ni Smith ang Technology Minister na si Nate Glubish para sa ikatlo sa apat na town hall tungkol sa pag-akit at regulasyon ng AI data centres matapos ianunsyo ng probinsya ang iminungkahing $13-billion campus ng Meta sa hilaga ng Edmonton noong Hulyo; hinarap ni Glubish ang publikong kritisismo ukol sa paggamit ng tubig at kalikasan sa unang dalawang pulong.

  2. Kinumpirma ng Edmonton na magpapatuloy ayon sa plano ang pagpapalawak ng bike lane. Inanunsyo ng city council sa kanilang transportation plan na magpapatuloy ang bike lane program hanggang 2026 na may naka-iskedyul na mga upgrade sa ilang arterial streets at pondo na inilaan sa 2026 capital budget, ayon sa lungsod, kaya nananatiling nasa tamang landas ang multi-year active-transportation project.

  3. Pansamantalang ililipat ang mga estudyante ng isang paaralan sa North Edmonton matapos mabaha. Inanunsyo ng distrito na lilipat ang mga mag-aaral sa alternatibong gusali habang ginagawa ang pagkukumpuni matapos ang pagbaha sa campus; nagtakda ang board ng panimulang timeline na ilang linggo para sa pagtatasa at remediation at inayos ang transportasyon para sa mga apektadong estudyante.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Isang pulis ng Edmonton kinasuhan ng dalawang bilang ng sexual assault matapos imbestigahan ng ASIRT. Tinapos ng Alberta’s Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) ang imbestigasyon na nagresulta sa krimenal na kaso laban sa isang pulis ng Edmonton; suspendido ang opisyal nang may bayad habang pinoproseso ng RCMP o ng lokal na korte ang dalawang bilang ng paratang, ayon sa ulat ng ASIRT.

  2. Sakbayan na naging sanhi ng Banggaan noong Boxing Day 2024 na kumitil sa buhay ng 9-anyos, hinatulan ng 10 taon. Humarap na may sala si Duane Nepoose, 32, sa kasong dangerous driving at pagtalikod sa pulis matapos masagasaan ang isang ninakaw na minivan noong Dis. 26, 2024 na ikinamatay ni Victoria Desjardins; hiningi ng Crown ang 9½–10½ taong sentensya at nagdeklara ang korte ng 10 taong pagkakakulong.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Napalitan ng Alberta ang $9.4B na deficit ng $2B na surplus habang tumataas ang presyo ng langis. Iniuugnay ng provincial fiscal update ang mas mataas na presyo ng West Texas Intermediate — nag-average nang bahagya lampas US$88 kada bariles mula Abril — sa pagbaliktad ng inaasahang $9.4-billion deficit tungo sa $2-billion surplus; nagbabala si Finance Minister Jason Nixon na pabagu-bago ang dagdag na kita at nangakong hindi gagamitin ang pansamantalang kita para sa permanenteng paggastos.

  2. Kabilang ang dating mansion ni Peter Pocklington sa Saskatchewan Drive sa tax-auction list ng Edmonton. Inilista ng City of Edmonton ang 8638 Saskatchewan Drive, ang makasaysayang dating bahay ng may-ari ng Oilers na si Peter Pocklington at lugar ng hostage incident noong 1982, sa roster ng mga ari-ariang may hindi nabayarang buwis para sa taglagas; inilarawan ng realtor na si Sally Munro ang property bilang isang iconic na bahay sa river valley.

🏈 Sports

  1. Inihayag ng Oilers ang pagkuha kay Misha Donskov bilang coaching consultant. Inanunsyo ng Edmonton Oilers na sasama si Donskov bilang part-time consultant habang nananatili siyang vice-president of hockey operations at coach ng men’s national team ng Hockey Canada; kasamang miyembro ng coaching staffs ni Donskov ang mga nagwagi ng 2023 Stanley Cup (Vegas) at ng mga kamakailang internasyonal na medalya para sa Canada.
