A candlelight vigil for the baby found dead in Bowness on Christ-mas Eve will be held Wednesday, after frigid temperatures forced the event that had been scheduled for Saturday night to be postponed.

Organizer Dayna Bramston made the decision Saturday after-noon after a forecast of wind chill in the -40C range Saturday night.

Dubbed Baby Jane, the newborn girl was found dead in a trash bin outside a Bowness grocery store at 11:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

A public appeal for information was issued Boxing Day. Police said they were concerned for the moth-er’s well-being, as evidence found at the scene suggests she could be in medical distress.bpassifiume@postmedia.com

‘Baby Jane’ vigil in Bowness rescheduled for Wednesday

Alberta Health Services says it has confirmed a case of hepatitis A in a food handler working at a Safeway store in Okotoks.

Anyone who consumed dough-nuts purchased from the bulk bins in the store at 610 Big Rock Lane between Dec. 1 and 21 may have been exposed to hepatitis A, AHS said in a news release.

“While we believe the risk to the public is low, hepatitis A is a seri-ous infection,” said David Strong, medical officer of health for the Alberta Health Services Calgary zone.

“As a precaution, anyone who consumed unpackaged doughnuts produced at this location between Dec. 1 and 21 is advised to moni-tor themselves and their family for symptoms for 50 days since those products were consumed.”

AHS said there is no ongoing risk of infection associated with the location.

Hepatitis A immunization clin-ics will be held at Okotoks Health and Wellness, at Centre 11 Cimar-ron Common, on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. AHS said hepatitis A immuniza-tion provided within two weeks of exposure can often prevent illness.

Immunizations will be offered to people who ate doughnuts pur-chased from the bulk bins at the Safeway between Dec. 19 and 21, AHS said.

Anyone who may have been ex-posed is asked to contact Health-Link for assessment of exposure date and risk before attending the public immunization clinic. Postmedia News

Alert issued over hep A in Okotoks Safeway

New Year’s greetings often use the word prosperous in wishes for the months ahead, and our resilient businesspeople are de-termined to bounce back to make 2018 a year of success.

There are plenty of signs of renewal to keep up the spirits.

One example is the continued expansion of East Village. The eye-pleasing National Music Centre will have an equally majestic neighbour with the opening of the new central library, and Alt Hotel by Le Ger-

main is well under construction, as is the much needed Loblaws City Market that will also service neighbouring Bridgeland and Inglewood/Ramsay.

Inglewood is also a hive of activity with a construction start on the mixed-use building at the entrance to the community on 9th Avenue across from the Atlantic Avenue Art Block. And at the east end of the trendy retail avenue the new YW Hub facility is underway.

The desire to have more people living downtown will be achieved if all of the residential towers under construction get filled with owners or renters. Eau Claire district is looking forward to welcoming residents of the luxurious Concord Pacific com-plex overlooking the Bow River in the west end, and pedestrian

eyes are constantly looking up to watch progress on the impressive 760,000-square-foot, 60-storey Telus Sky tower that will include 29 floors of residential.

Construction has also begun on the huge development on the former Stampede Pontiac site at 9th Avenue and 11th Street S.W., a start that shows a huge amount of confidence in this city. And look for construction crews to begin work this spring on PBA Land’s twin tower Autograph Collection and Courtyard by Marriot hotels along 5th Avenue S.W.

Another Marriott hotel is look-ing impressive as it towers over the corner of 10th Avenue and 5th Street S.W. on the site of the

former Alberta Boot factory.Sorry to see Nordesign closing

after 40 years of good business in Calgary, but the retail sector appears to be quite vibrant, with shopping centres fully leased and planning for more growth.

Shoppers are looking forward to the opening of our first Saks store in Chinook Centre. The luxury retailer is set to open next month in a two-level, 115,000-square-foot space, while a Saks Off 5th will open in Mar-ket Mall.

North of the city we anticipate the grand opening of the 500 unique, Asian-themed stores in the New Horizon Mall. The Balzac area continues to attract

large users with word of yet another massive warehouse proj-ect to be built in the High Plains Industrial Park.

In the city, we are closer to a construction start on Melcor’s Greenwich Village across from Canada Olympic Park that will provide a mix of retail, office and residential as well as a new hotel. And development continues on the former Currie Barracks lands. Thanks largely to the RESOLVE campaign, we have seen a good number of low-cost housing units completed and we look forward — along with the residents — to the opening of the assisted-living Inclusio project overlooking Confederation Park.

It’s going to be an interesting year in which we also welcome a new general director and CEO of Calgary Opera, a new con-sul general of Colombia, new chancellor of the University of Calgary and new president of Calgary-based Operation Eye-sight, pending the soon-to-be-announced retirement of Brian Foster.

And best of all, we get to play golf at Kananaskis again.David Parker appears regularly in the Herald. Read his columns online at calgaryherald.com/ business. He can be reached at 403-830-4622 or by email at info@davidparker.ca.
