Unless the article just used the previous name.
Just looked up the wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-Days

1879 - 1964 "Edmonton Exhibition"
1965 - 2005 "Klondike Days"
2006 - 2011 "Capital Ex"
2012+ "K - Days"

It was renamed to K - Days as per public vote when it became apparent that "Klondike" and "Capital" were words too challenging for the average Edmontonian to pronounce
