Foggy Tuesday, mild and long—soccer at sundown

Morning's shallow fog and 13°C feels gentle for late July, though that UV's sitting at 7—still high, so if you're out much of the day, you'll want sunscreen even through the haze. You've got a long one ahead: sunset doesn't land until 9:29 PM, so the evening's got real time in it.

No major road disruptions to dodge this morning, so your commute should move as expected.

On the local front, there's been movement on a few stories worth knowing. The search for missing 11-year-old Parker has scaled back to a different phase—Calgary police are shifting their approach. Meanwhile, Chestermere Lake's water got shut off after an upstream oil spill, but levels are returning to normal now. The poisoning death of a teenager back in 2020 has picked up momentum too: two more people have been charged with first-degree murder. And if you've got a soft spot for Cowboys Dance Hall, heads up—after 30 years, they're closing to focus on their music festival and new events. On a brighter note, the Olympic Oval's locked in for the next three decades: $52 million in provincial and federal funding just came through to secure its future.

If you're thinking lunch or dinner, there's some good momentum in the food scene right now. An Sang just opened on the Red Mile with Vietnamese breakfast service—pho's their focus if you're keen on that. And if you want to scope out afternoon tea without leaving the city, there are five solid spots now doing that from fancy patios to flower-filled cafes. Grey Eagle's Buffet is sticking around through the end of the year too, despite renovation plans on the horizon.

Tonight's the play if you're a soccer person: Cavalry FC takes on FC Supra at Spruce Meadows at 7 PM. The fog'll be thinning by then and it's mild enough to be outside—perfect for it, honestly. If you're not a match person, the parks are worth a wander this afternoon; mild and long daylight makes for easy roaming.

Have a solid one out there.
