The City of Calgary held a groundbreaking ceremony in the northeast community of Cornerstone on Wednesday for a new multi-service development.
The Cornerstone multi-service development includes a fire station, household hazardous waste drop-off location and future affordable housing. Calgary Fire Department chief Steve Dongworth says that over the last five years, call volume in that general area has doubled, in alignment with area population increases.
The City of Calgary is aiming to achieve LEED Gold certification for the development, meaning it’s being built with sustainability in mind. Since CFD responds to both fire and medical calls, Dongworth emphasizes this facility will help ensure they can maintain their targets. Canada has announced an $11.2-billion contract to improve training platforms for the military, including the purchase of 70 training aircraft for the Future Aircrew Training program.Federal investigators are preparing to bring accusers of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs before a federal grand jury, two sources familiar with the probe tell CNN — signaling the U.S. Justice Department is moving toward potentially seeking an indictment of Combs.
