This is an Alberta Emergency Alert. The City of Calgary has issued a critical water supply alert.
This alert is in effect for the city of Calgary until further notice.
A water main break along 16 Avenue NW has impacted the city's water supply. Supply levels have reached a critical state, affecting the city's ability to provide water to communities and ensure adequate water is available to support emergency fire suppression.
All residents and businesses must conserve water. Do not shower or bath. Do not wash dishes, or run appliances that use water.
Edmonton, I hear you loud and clear.
In record numbers, Edmontonians have shared what @ckuaradio means to them.

I’ve had the amazing privilege of interviewing many of my heroes over the years — yet somehow I couldn’t ever have imagined I’d one day get to talk with Mokey and Red.
She says music was her salvation when she was growing up, and having a safe space to create at school meant everything. That’s why @SarahMcLachlan started the non-profit @SMschoolofmusic. Hear her tell @ckuaradio that story + look ahead to a #YEG benefit:
