A wildfire started by lit garbage was burning out of control in Bow Valley Provincial Park between Seebe and the Trans-Canada Highway this afternoon (Aug. 14).
City officials said Calgary is 55 per cent more flood resilient than in 2013, which is expected to reach 70 per cent when the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir is complete.
