CTV Newsa day ago

At times over the weekend, we might bump to moderate on the Air Quality Health Index, but we should mainly stay at low risk.
Mother Nature took it easy on Calgary on Friday compared to other Alberta communities.
But on Saturday, there is a large window for thunderstorm potential—from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The air quality has certainly improved and will continue to be good through the weekend.

Let's talk about the Father's Day forecast…
If you want to take Dad golfing, do that in the morning on Sunday.
By 3 p.m., we get into a good chance of showers and thunderstorms, with the best chance of t-storms to hit at supper time.

Edmonton students hold lemonade stand to support families in need

Students from Anne Fitzgerald Catholic Elementary School spent Saturday collecting food donations for families in need. This is the second year the school has held a lemonade stand to collect food donations to help fight food insecurity in their community. 'They thought it would be a great way to bring in some food donations, have a fun day with the community and then create food hampers that could help support some of our families over the summer months,' said Anne Fitzgerald principal Susanna Nigro. Nigro said the event teaches the kids important organizational skills and how to be a good citizen. The cool, wet weather prompted a slight shift in plans, but Nigro said it didn't dampen spirits. 'If anything, it's given them a little bit of extra energy today,' she said. 'Didn't phase them at all … it's a really beautiful event for them.' Anyone who would like to make a donation can email

Halifax welcomes warm weather for One Port City Day

Jill Matthews from The Port of Halifax shares what people can expect from this weekend's One Port City Day. Thousands of people visited the Halifax Waterfront Saturday where the sun was shining for the 4th annual One Port City Day. 'I think it's really a welcome forecast for everybody but certainly here at the One Port City event,' said Port of Halifax communications manager, Jill Matthews. 'It's an annual celebration of the marine culture and exploration and innovation within the industry,' said Matthews in an interview with CTV's Crystal Garrett. waterfront People are pictured on the Halifax waterfront's boardwalk during One Port City Day on June 14, 2025.

The timing couldn't have been better. The last precipitation-free weekend in the region was on March 22 and 23 – 11 weeks ago. 'Last year the weather did not cooperate. It definitely was more of a rainy day. We saw people come out, but not in the numbers that were seen today,' Matthews says. People strolling the boardwalk found lots to do, from tugboat water displays to mini-train rides. 'It's very nice to see the sun, it's been a long spring,' says Halifax resident, Nicole Mead.

'This is really when patio season is at its peak,' says Natasha Chestnut, the executive director of Restaurants Nova Scotia. 'I think it is a little bit more impactful on the weekends because typically weekends are very busy for the industry. That's when you do see a lot more people out dining out.' CTV Meteorologist Kalin Mitchell says weather patterns tend to run in 4-to-7-day cycles and hopefully better forecasts are on the way. waterfront People are pictured on the Halifax waterfront watching a tugboat water display during One Port City Day, Jun 14, 2025.
