A delight to say good morning to Edmonton this weekend 🌼 (filling in for the AM pro @lisamacgregor) I’ve always wanted to anchor a morning show—and perfect timing because I also got an extra hour of sleep 🤭. #yeg

Parks Canada says most buildings burned entirely or remain untouched (very few classified as “damaged”). This scene in town is a good example. @GlobalEdmonton

70% of town has “little to no damage”. A lot looks just like Jasper townsite pre-wildfire. The air quality is really bad (also due to toxic fumes from structure fires). No Gas/power for most of town. Parks Canada superintendent says most animals in area are doing fine.

Premier Smith toured the Jasper townsite where flames destroyed hundreds of properties this week. She spoke with our @MorganRBlack afterwards about the damage, which destroyed the home the town's mayor had lived in his entire life, saying it was hard to see. #yeg #Jasper

I spoke with a Jasper volunteer firefighter who watched her home burn Wednesday night while protecting her community. Her message to all who love Jasper: “I choose to focus on the positive... there’s a lot of buildings left. There’s a lot of town left.” globalnews.ca/news/10644044/…

Thousands of Edmonton Oilers fans were hoping for a celebration but in the end, were gutted when the team lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. @MorganRBlack has more from the Moss Pit, where fans showed class in the face of defeat. #yeg

Thousands of Edmonton Oilers fans have descended upon the outdoor viewing areas at Rogers Place. As @MorganRBlack explains, some tried to storm gates, leading to medics being called as panic set in. As of 5:18 p.m., @EdmontonPolice said the fan parks have reached capacity. #yeg

A hockey Nostradamus? 🤔 In 2018, an Oilers fan pondered what quote to put in his yearbook. Then—inspiration hit. “Edmonton Oilers, 2024. Watch it happen.” My latest for @GlobalEdmonton #LetsGoOilers #yeg globalnews.ca/news/10576057/…

You've probably seen her dressed up as the Stanley Cup at Edmonton Oilers games, but who is she and how much work goes into becoming "Mama Stanley"? @MorganRBlack joined the Edmonton grandma to see how the process unfolds. #yeg
