Some services are returning to Calgary’s Municipal Building after a break-in incident and four fires closed off the building’s third floor three weeks ago.
In the early morning of Aug. 2, a man with a weapon broke into the building and set four fires. The fire suppression sprinkler system put the fires out, causing water damage to three levels of the building.
An initial review showed that the incident will cost the city more than $1 million.
