Exclamation Aerial Blasting in Calgary
Calgary Police ‏@CalgaryPolice 10h

There will be ongoing aerial power blasting in the SE of the city over the next week. Keep in mind that blasting sounds will travel wide.

the actual site is at 61st Ave and 100 St SE.

No clue, but the police were sending out alerts, I expect they are expecting bomb calls or such from the noise
