Weary travellers at YYC despite fed intervention in Air Canada labour fight

It was a subdued Saturday morning by the Air Canada counters at the Calgary International Airport. Article content Travellers stood wearily in lines by the counter, baggage in tow while staff ran back-and-forth between the counters with passports in hand. Article content Article content Some had been at the airport for hours, waiting to hear back on cancelled flights and rebooking alternatives. Article content 'We've been here since seven this morning,' Clem Lacoume said. She had travelled to Canada from France with a friend, Emma Sambras, two weeks ago to explore British Columbia and had a flight scheduled home on Saturday. Article content Article content At 12:58 a.m. ET on Saturday, 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants walked off the job on strike, after the airline and the union representing them failed to reach a deal ahead of the deadline. The airline estimated 130,000 customers would be affected for each day of the strike. Article content Article content Patty Hajdu, the federal jobs minister, directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board on Saturday morning to order flight attendants back to work, impose final and binding arbitration and extend the terms of the parties' existing contract until a new one one is determined. Article content However, with several flights already cancelled and travellers urgently attempting to rebook alternatives, it will still take time until flights are back to scheduled routine, according to Adam Danyleko, CEO of Elite Travel Management, a Calgary-based travel agency. Article content 'It takes a while for the routes to get back online,' he said. 'They've already cancelled them so they've got to do a lot of work with the actual individual airport locations to bring the routes back online and to bring the flight attendants back online.' Article content Article content Article content On Saturday morning, more than 100 flight attendants banded at the far end of the airport building, near the departure doors leading to the counters for the U.S. airlines. Article content 'Our members are ready for this,' Brittany Thomas, local vice-president for CUPE Local 495 in Calgary. 'They didn't want it to get to this but they are here because they have to be here. Article content 'There's a lot of community,' she added. 'We have a very strong engagement because we know each other, we're friends, we're tight-knit.' Article content The days leading up to the strike held a lot of 'anxiety and stress,' she said. The last time the airline's flight attendants went on strike was in 1985. Article content Daylen Mitansky, local vice-president of CUPE Local 495, said when he heard the strike was to be official, he cried. 'It's really heartbreaking,' he said. 'We're all sad about the passengers being stranded and it's really hard on a lot of us.

Thrift stores team up to highlight work as an ‘essential lifeline'

Bissell, Trust FIND and Mustard Seed Thrift partnered up to create an all-day event that showcases the importance of thrift stores on Aug. 16, 2025. (Brandon Lynch/CTV News Edmonton) Three thrift stores in the city have partnered to create a tour that aims to show customers just how far the sustainability effort really goes. In honour of National Thrift Shop Day on Sunday, Bissell Thrift Shop, Trust FIND and The Mustard Seed have created a Saturday event for a YEG venture that helps fund local programs to end homelessness and poverty while keeping usable goods out of landfills. 'There are shops that are taking the funds being raised and putting them back into programs,' communications specialist Chris Schieman for Bissell told CTV News on Saturday. 'They're an essential lifeline to all that we do for our community.' Schieman said people from all walks of life come through thrift stores on a regular basis, which makes them so popular and worth celebrating. The collaboration of thrift stores was born out of wanting a 'bigger bang' during National Thrift Shop Day. Wendy Shea, a shopper at the event on Saturday, said both the cost of living and consumer-conscious spending are what drives her and her family out to thrift stores. 'We do a lot of back-to-school shopping at the thrift store,' she said. 'We like to support because we know that they do help the community and help house the homeless, and that's great. That's where we want to put our money.' The tour also includes a passport, where visiting the participating stores will enter participants into a draw to win prizes. Stamping even two of the three shops enters you to win a chocolate basket, restaurant or ice cream gift card. While the event ends on Saturday, other thrift stores around town will also be celebrating the day on Sunday. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Brandon Lynch
