How Edmonton youth are fighting food insecurity downtown
A new series of cooking classes is connecting neighbours, rethinking where food comes from and feeding some of Edmonton's most vulnerable residents. It's a tall order for one group, but multiple not-for-profit organizations are banding together to put on monthly cooking classes called Cooking 4 Community that highlight cultures from around the world.
The project is a collaboration between Touch Grass Club, New Grocery Movement and the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians. On the latest episode of This is Edmonton, host Clare Bonnyman went to visit one of the classes and find out how the collaboration is creating change in the community.

Social Sharing Construction season is in full swing, especially in Edmonton's northeast. But the 132nd Avenue collector renewal project has a stick in the spokes — some residents are speaking out against construction.

On this week's episode of This is Edmonton, host Clare Bonnyman sits down with CBC Edmonton producer Pippa Reed, who spent some time in the area to hear what residents are saying.

The struggle to find affordable rent in rural Alberta
Rent is high and supply is low, especially in smaller communities surrounding Edmonton. In 2023 alone, Alberta's population grew by 173,000, or 3.9 per cent. In 2024 it increased by another 4.4 per cent, and all of this growth makes it harder to find an affordable place to live. In the latest episode of This is Edmonton, CBC producer Pippa Reed shares the story of Kimberly Doyle, her eight-month hunt for rented accommodation in the Red Deer area, and what she had to sacrifice to find a new place that suits her and her dog. This is Edmonton is posted online every Wednesday. Listen here or get in touch at thisisyeg@
