Alberta targets predatory tow-truck drivers with exclusion zones, fines
Alberta's government is creating fines and rules meant to curb predatory tow-truck drivers. Starting Friday, there will be 200-metre exclusion zones around accident scenes for tow-truck operators, who must stay back unless police or drivers involved say otherwise or face a $1,000 fine. At a Wednesday news conference, Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen said the government has heard concerns about tow-truck drivers showing up at car accidents and pressuring those involved to unnecessarily accept their services. In some cases, he said, tow-truck drivers have charged excessive fees and withheld necessary information from those whose vehicles were towed. 'The last thing someone needs at a collision scene is to be harassed by dishonest tow-truck drivers, pressuring them to agree to towing services,' Dreeshen said. 'These changes penalize bad actors in the tow-truck industry and shield Albertans from unethical practices.' Edmonton police Insp. Angela Kemp, speaking alongside Dreeshen, said the force has been aware of predatory towing for years. Kemp said it has been difficult to assess the scale of the problem, as police rely on self-reporting, but there have been more reports of it in recent years as people become aware. She gave two examples of police charging tow-truck companies. Police arrest 18 in Greater Toronto tow truck bust Extortions, arsons targeting South Asian businesses on the rise, Edmonton police warn In October, a company was charged with theft over $5,000 for allegedly refusing to release a vehicle it had towed unless it received a fee from an insurance company. In May, the owners of 10 towing companies were charged with fraud, Kemp said. 'During this investigation, police discovered that numerous tow-truck companies in Edmonton were reportedly fraudulently billing insurance companies for services that were not provided,' she said. 'Police also learned that these companies were allegedly inflating bills, including charges to insurance companies of upwards of over $5,000 for basic collision tows.' The government's new rules are nearly identical to a bylaw passed earlier this year by Calgary city council, though the city's fine can be up to $10,000. Dreeshen said the province's fine is lower because the government is trying to set a basic standard to ensure Albertans have the same protection. He said the government's rules are a first step and further measures could be taken, such as following Ontario in developing a mandatory code of conduct and certification process for tow truck drivers. 'The government of Alberta will continue working with industry and other stakeholders to explore additional solutions.'

Food Bank of Waterloo Region sees fewer students, while overall usage is up
Record-breaking periods of high demand are something the Food Bank of Waterloo Region has seen several times over the last few years. 'The last three years have been really challenging for our community as a whole,' said Kim Wilhelm, Food Bank of Waterloo Region CEO. 'We've had record-breaking months of people accessing food assistance.' While overall usage is up, they're seeing a drop in the number of students accessing the food bank. 'Those who are in post-secondary school have additional pressures of tuition. They're not able to work as many hours as other people,' Wilhelm told CTV News on Wednesday. The data, however, points to a shift that has fewer students accessing the food bank's services. 'When we look at June 2025, there are about 750 students that identified as a student when they access food assistance. The good news is that's a 26 per cent decrease from last June 2024,' said Wilhelm. It's difficult to pinpoint why that may be, Wilhelm adds. It does come at a time when Conestoga College is seeing significant enrolment reductions due to the cap on international students. But the food bank does not track whether a student is domestic or international. 'When somebody who identifies as a student comes to one of our food programs, one of the first things we do is refer them back to their school food program for assistance,' said Wilhelm. Although, a spokesperson for Conestoga Students Inc., the student association for the college told CTV News in an email: 'CSI's on-campus food support programming paused for Spring semester while we work on a revamp we are announcing later this month.' CTV News also contacted Cheryl MacInnes, who helps supply Trinity Community Table's free lunch in Cambridge, about whether they've seen fewer international students. 'I cannot quantify the decrease in the number of international students,' MacInnes wrote in an email. 'We do not ask our guests where they are from. We offer food to all those in need.' What is clear is the overall increase in demand at the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. 'On average, we're finding that people are accessing it twice a month,' said Wilhelm. 'That's a five per cent increase in the number of people and a 13 per cent increase in the total visits from the prior June.'
