It was nine years ago when the Bowes family lost their baby boy, Huxley. The infant was born in an Edmonton hospital and died just three days after his traumatic delivery. Their loss prompted a series of regulatory reviews, systemic changes to the operation of the Grey Nuns Community Hospital and a now-dismissed wrongful death lawsuit. What has all of this changed? CBC reporter Wallis Snowdon joins the podcast to dig into the story.

The data makes it clear — transit-related violence has risen across Canada over the past decade. And Edmonton has one of the most dangerous transit systems in the country. But what do we know about who is at the source of the violence? And how has our city handled growing concerns around safety on the LRT? We dig into an investigation from CBC and the Investigative Journalism Foundation with reporter Nicholas Frew.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital is getting a new home, in part because the current space is packed. A population boom, plus more outbreak emergencies and a lack of beds has caused delays in chemotherapy for some kids. CBC’s Ariel Fournier spoke to parents about what happens when kids can’t get care, and why this new stand-alone hospital is so important for pediatric patients.

It’s fair to say 2025 was a busy year at Alberta's legislature, and there was no shortage of stories to cover. There was a teachers' strike, citizen petitions, controversial policies and an auditor general’s report that raised eyebrows. So how do these stories continue into 2026, and what do Edmontonians need to know? We sit down with two provincial affairs reporters to get their takes on the year ahead.

It’s cold and when temperatures drop in the city many scramble to make sure people can stay warm. Edmonton has been making moves to beef up daytime winter warming spaces to serve a growing homeless population — meanwhile the province says shelters have more than enough room. So what’s actually needed? And who’s responsible for making that happen? CBC reporter Emily Williams joins us to take a bigger look at the recurring challenge.

At the end of the year, it can be hard to remember everything that happened. So for our final episode of 2025, we wanted to help! We enlisted three reporters from the CBC Edmonton newsroom to share a story that defined the year, and why it's sticking with them. Whether it was a big deal, a lot of fun or made a difference. Join us as we look back, and prepare to move forward into 2026.

This time of year, there’s a lot of talk about the food bank. Edmonton’s Food Bank was actually the first in Canada, and what started as a temporary answer to hunger has become a massive support system for community members. We sit down with the executive director of Edmonton’s Food Bank, Marjorie Bencz, to talk about how food insecurity has changed and how the organization has grown.

If you’d like to donate to your local food bank as part of CBC’s Make The Season Kind Campaign, you can go to www.cbc.ca/kind/yeg.

This year Edmonton has had the deadliest year on record since introducing Vision Zero, a plan to prevent deaths from traffic-related serious injuries and fatalities. At the same time, things are changing provincially and locally that affect how we manage our streets. This week we look at why Edmonton’s roads feel more dangerous than before.
