Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has directed her government to come up with a proposal to financially help families affected by an E. coli outbreak at Calgary daycares. The outbreak, which prompted the closure of 11 daycares and a common kitchen, has resulted in 329 lab-confirmed cases, mostly children, with at least 20 being severely ill. Smith mentioned that the government will provide compensation to families who had to miss work or pay for alternate arrangements. She also hinted at the possibility of new regulations for shared kitchens and food safety. A news conference is scheduled for Friday to provide more details.
