Friday

After a long winter, southern Albertans will likely face a 'white Easter'
this weekend as a storm moves from the mountains into the Foothills.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Friday to warn about
the potential for heavy snowfall in the City of Calgary and surrounding
areas.
A developing low pressure system is producing precipitation over areas of
southern Alberta with temperatures near or slightly above zero, that is expected
to fall a wet snow at first.
While the wet snow will initially melt, with time and increased intensity it
is expected to accumulate.
Some areas around the Foothills could see 10 centimetres in all.
Southern Albertans are being warned to use extra caution and monitor weather
conditions if travelling Friday.
The communities of Airdrie, Cochrane, Olds, Sundre, Okotoks, High River and
Claresholm are under the same special weather statement. Banff National Park, Kananaskis and Canmore are under a snowfall warning,
with 10 to 20 centimetres expected.
The highest snowfall amounts are expected to be around the Icefields
Parkway. Drivers should be aware of the changing road conditions and be prepared for
visibility to be suddenly reduced in times of heavy snow.

The countdown is on for the new runway to open at the Calgary International
Airport.
Construction is still underway on the new $600-million runway, which will be
more than four kilometres long and over a metre thick. Several more weeks of
work are needed but the first flight is scheduled to depart from the runway on
June 20 at 2 p.m. MT.
"This runway was planned 40 years ago," said Garth Atkinson, president of the
airport. "To see it all come to pass, through a lot of planning, a lot of
design, construction in the last few years and all the effort by so many people
and so many organizations, it's quite exciting."
The airport says its top goal is to offer a non-stop flight to China.
Atkinson says that's likely still a few years away.
A new international terminal is also under construction.
The budget for the terminal alone is roughly $1.4 billion and it is expected
to open in late 2015.

In 2004, an extensive renovation was undertaken to revitalize these community
icons. Improvements focused on patron comfort and performance enhancements
including acoustics, seating, climate control, and more. The venue has a new
look, yet has maintained its historic charm. The facilities were reopened in
September, 2005 to commemorate Alberta’s 100th anniversary
