Alberta
Banff
Fort McMurray
Hinton
Lethbridge
Lloydminster
Medicine Hat
Red Deer
Banff
It's a gem of the Canadian Rockies. CBC is looking for a reporter to work in Banff, covering the community and Bow Valley region. While Banff is a major recreational centre, and our most visited national park, it is also a town where people work, raise their families, and face many of the same challenges as other Canadians: cost of living, housing, childcare. The population is highly transient, and the community is home and destination for people from around the world. CBC is looking for a journalist to cover news-of-the day, and context driven stories reflecting this unique community.
Fort McMurray
We are looking for a reporter to join our expanding bureau in Fort McMurray, a key hub in Canada's energy industry in northeastern Alberta. As the centre of the oil sands, the city has a youthful, international flavour, attracting people from around the world. There are so many stories to tell, from energy to the high cost of living. You will also cover the Indigenous communities of Fort McKay and Fort Chipewyan. The city is home to Keyano College and boasts a massive indoor recreation complex that includes a pool, indoor soccer fields and skating rinks. Nestled in a river valley, the region is right next door to nature.
Hinton
We are looking for a reporter to cover Hinton, the gateway to Jasper National Park. The town is located on the Yellowhead Highway, a major transportation route connecting the prairies to the west coast. Rich in natural resources, Hinton is home to coal, timber, oilfield and tourism industries. For outdoor enthusiasts, it is home to the Hinton Nordic Centre Trails for cross-country skiing in the winter, and for mountain biking and hiking in the summer months. In this role, you will have the opportunity to cover the national park and the northern Rockies as well as nearby communities, including Grande Cache and Edson.
Lethbridge
CBC is looking for a reporter to join our bureau in Lethbridge. Launched in 2023, our bureau covers the city of Lethbridge, and the vibrant agricultural corridor in the region. This prairie city is not only a major distribution and commercial centre in southern Alberta, but is also home to a university, a polytechnic, and vibrant arts community. Lethbridge sits on major east/west and north/south transportation routes. Lethbridge also has strong ties to Hutterite and Indigenous communities. CBC is looking for a journalist to cover news-of-the day, and the context driven stories of the city, and the region.
Lloydminster
We are looking for a reporter to cover Lloydminster, a city that uniquely straddles the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan. Located halfway between Saskatoon and Edmonton, Lloydminster has the youngest median age in all of Canada. It is known as an agriculture hub, with oil and gas as important economic drivers. In this role, you will have the opportunity to report on stories in Cold Lake and Meadow Lake, including Onion Lake Cree Nation, Thunderchild First Nation, Red Pheasant Cree Nation, Sweetgrass First Nation, Little Pine First Nation and Poundmaker First Nation.
Medicine Hat
We are looking for a reporter to cover Medicine Hat - a city serving as the hub for all of south east Alberta. The city has a strong sense of identity and takes pride in its self-sufficiency. Energy, and agriculture are part of a diverse economic landscape, while sports and arts play an important role in the community. From the local college, to the local police service, Medicine Hat is a city that likes to try new 'first of their kind' projects. CBC is looking for a journalist to cover news-of-the day, and the context driven stories of the city, and the region.
Red Deer
We are looking for a reporter to cover Alberta's third-largest city, which sits right between Calgary and Edmonton on Highway 2. Often overshadowed by its two big neighbours, Red Deer has seen its population boom in recent years and has rich stories to tell. It serves as the hub for many smaller central Alberta communities, particularly for health care, and is at the core of the province's agricultural and energy support industries. It's a gateway for many outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to the foothills and Rocky Mountains to the west.
