Alberta's Information and Privacy Commissioner is investigating the use of facial recognition software in Calgary malls after a shopper recognized code in a digital directory.

Chinook Centre is one of two shopping malls in Calgary using facial recognition software which is hidden in the mall directories.

Three people were taken to hospital after being stabbed near Calgary's CF Chinook Centre shopping mall on Thursday night.

The refurbished dining space will “have direct access” to the new pedestrian crossing over Macleod Trail.

The new pedestrian bridge at Calgary’s Chinook Centre opened to the public on Friday, with the mall’s general manager calling it a “significant milestone.”

The pedestrian overpass over MacLeod Trail near Chinook Centre is expected to open on schedule this December.
