An Alberta Emergency Alert went out for the Hamlet of Granum on Sunday night.

The M.D. of Willow Creek shared the information about a water boil advisory via social media.

Due to a power outage on Sunday night, the advisory was issued at 11:05 p.m.

You're asked to boil all drinking water until further notice.

They shared some follow-up actions for residents to take.

Action to take:

It was a historical day on Sunday at the Calgary Stampede.

Breakaway Roping was introduced this year, giving women their second event to earn $50,000 in.

It didn't disappoint either, as Langdon Alberta's Shelby Boisjoli-Meged won it with a blistering time of 2.2 seconds.

Boisjoli-Meged was the only Canadian top nine finalist in the event.

There were a few more major Alberta moments from Championship Sunday.

In Saddle Bronc, Zeke Thurston from Big Valley, Alberta, won it again, for the fourth time, but his first since 2017.

Calgary's Chanse Vigen, the 'Rangleland Rockstar', finally won the Calgary Stampede.

We're getting a lot of rain today.

Environment Canada issued a Rainfall Warning on Monday morning at 5:35, forecasting upwards of 50 to 80 mm of rain.

This covers all of Foothills County and Vulcan County.

You can expect between 30 and 40 mm of rainfall today, followed by an additional 15 to 25 mm tonight.

It will also be much cooler today than the temperatures we had over the weekend, with a steady temperature of 13 degrees today.

Alberta's premier says "pornography is a problem for young adults" in remarks defending her government's move to remove sexually explicit content from school library shelves this fall.

Danielle Smith was responding to criticism received via text on her provincewide phone-in radio program on Saturday that a lack of education funding and overcrowded classrooms were more important issues than library content.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says the economy is becoming the primary focus of Canada's relationships in the Indo-Pacific — a shift that appears linked to Canada's recent moves to overcome its security dispute with India.

Anand was in Japan and Malaysia this week for her first trip to the region since taking over as foreign minister in May. Her message coming out of that trip was that Canada's foreign policy is shifting — though not abandoning — the priorities set by the previous Liberal government of former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Alberta is rolling out new regulations this fall banning transgender athletes from playing women’s sports, but the province will still welcome out-of-province transgender competitors.

Tourism and Sport Minister Andrew Boitchenko said the discrepancy is out of his hands.

“We don't have authority to regulate athletes from different jurisdictions,” he said in an interview.

In a followup statement, ministry spokeswoman Vanessa Gomez added it's due to outside sporting organizations being bound by out-of-province or international guidelines.

Residents of Foothills County are being urged to stay alert and prepared as a Tornado Watch was issued by Environment Canada late Sunday morning (July 13).

It warns that severe thunderstorms are likely to develop this afternoon and evening along the Foothills and move toward the southeast.

9 days of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth are over with just one all-important day left. Championship Sunday.

All seven winners on Championship Sunday at the Calgary Stampede will ride away with a belt buckle, the title, bragging rights and $50,000.

Pool C wrapped up Saturday afternoon under hot and muggy conditions. 

Only the top three in each pool, A and B Pools, played out earlier in the week, have qualified for Championship Sunday.

It was a tense Saturday night heading into the final Chuckwagon races to decide the three finalists on the Rangeland Derby.

Only the top 3 in the aggregate get a chance to compete for the Calgary Stampede Championship on Sunday.

And defending champion, Jason Glass from High River, came through with a solid time, the second fastest of the night, to secure his coveted third place in the aggregate.

Calgary's Chanse Vigen held onto the number one spot with Jamie Laboucane sitting in second.

Dayton Sutherland, from DeWinton, finished 18th in the aggregate.
