🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Pederal na gobyerno maglalaan ng CAD $29 milyon para sa North Calgary water main project. Inanunsyo ni Calgary-Confederation MP Corey Hogan ang CAD $29 milyon mula sa Build Communities Strong Fund (pondo para sa pagpapalakas ng mga komunidad) para sa unang yugto ng North Calgary Water Servicing project nitong Martes; kasama sa gawaing ito ang ilang kilometro ng feeder main at mga pag-upgrade sa Top Hill Reservoir, Big Hill East Reservoir at Mountain View Pump Station at magbibigay ng karagdagang 30 million litres na tubig mula sa Bearspaw sa susunod na taon.

  2. Nagsimulang magpadala ang Elections Alberta ng special ballots para sa referendum sa 19 Oktubre. Sinimulan ng Elections Alberta ang pamimigay ng special mail-in ballots ngayong araw para sa 10-question referendum; maaaring mag-apply ang mga Albertan para sa special ballot hanggang 9 Oktubre at dapat matanggap ng Elections Alberta ang mga ballot hanggang 16 Oktubre.

  3. Sabi ni Premier Danielle Smith na inayos niya ang pahayag na nag-alis ng pagkilala sa mga Indigenous para sa Alberta Day. Dalawang magkaibang Alberta Day statements ang nai-post sa loob ng isang oras nitong Martes — ang isa may pagkilalang Indigenous at ang pangalawa ay tinanggal ang linyang iyon; sinabi ni Premier Smith na siya ang nag-intervene matapos palitan ng mga public servant ang orihinal na pahayag at inutusan silang ibalik ang unang bersyon.

  4. Makikipagpulong si Premier Danielle Smith sa mga opisyal ng Nashville habang nasa personal na paglalakbay sa Tennessee. Plano ni Smith na bumiyahe papuntang Nashville mamaya sa linggong ito at makikipagkita sa mga opisyal ng turismo ng estado at sa pinuno ng Nashville’s chamber of commerce, kasama si Alberta senior U.S. representative Nathan Cooper sa mga pagpupulong para itaguyod ang mga partnership sa music industry at pag-unlad ng turismo para sa Calgary.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Inakusahan ang isang Calgarian sa umano’y CAD $164-milyong Ponzi scheme na tumarget sa mahigit 1,000 mga investor. Ayon sa RCMP, arestado ang isang 49-anyos noong Hulyo 31 at sinampahan ng mga kaso ng fraud at money laundering matapos umano kunin ang mga kabuuang mga CAD $163 milyon mula Marso 2020 hanggang Abril 2024 sa pamamagitan ng Black Box Management, maglipat ng pondo sa mga external accounts at gumamit ng mga plagiarized na email updates; ang Alberta Securities Commission ay dating nag-sanction sa mga kaugnay na kumpanya noong Agosto 2025.

  2. Binisita ng vandalismo ang tahanan sa Calgary na may mga pro‑Trump flag, pinagsabuyan ng itlog at inuulan ng tae ng aso; kasangkot ang pulisya. Nag-ulat ang mga homeowner malapit sa downtown ng pag-eegg at paglalagay ng nakabagangong tae ng aso noong 23 Agosto at nagsasabing may mga online na pagbabanta na nagmumungkahi ng pagsunog; kinumpirma ng Calgary police na nakatanggap sila ng report ng vandalism ngunit sinabi nilang kulang ang batayan para sa kriminal na pag-aresto.

🏈 Sports

  1. Nabenta agad ang mga ticket para sa huling regular-season game ng Flames sa Saddledome. Naubos agad ang single-game tickets sa sandaling inilabas ang mga ito Lunes, na may resale prices mula mga CAD $500 hanggang halos CAD $1,500 habang naghahanda ang team na lumipat sa CAD $1.2 bilyon na Scotia Place arena sa susunod na season.

  2. Pinalawig ng Montreal Alouettes sina GM Danny Maciocia at coach Jason Maas hanggang 2031 at 2030. Nilagdaan ng CFL team ang dalawang-taong extension kay Maciocia hanggang 2031 at si Maas hanggang 2030 nitong Martes; kasalukuyang hawak ng Montreal ang pinakamahusay na record sa liga na 9-2 at nilagdaan din nila ang quarterback na si Caleb Evans sa isang isang-taong kontrata.
