Mayerthorpe tragedy
Four RCMP constables — Peter Schiemann, Leo Johnston, Brock Myrol and Anthony Gordon — were shot and killed on James Roszko's farm near Mayerthorpe on March 3, 2005, while securing the property during a police operation; it was the force's worst one-day loss of life in modern times.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
