Why we love really, really big stuff
It's a key element of Edmonton summers — driving out to see some big stuff. Roadside attractions are huge across the province and they're hard to miss, even in our city. And why would you want to? From pumpkins to mushrooms, a giant perogy or a sausage link, there is something for everyone. Big stuff expert and CBC producer Adrienne Lamb joins host Clare Bonnyman to talk about attractions near and far and dig into why we love them so much.

CBC in the Community: April 2025
April 1: Ideas for a better Canada In March and April, the CBC program Ideas hosted a series of cross-Canada discussions focused on how to foster more meaningful conversations and build bridges between divides, aiming to inspire long-term solutions. These events took place in Burlington, Charlottetown, Edmonton and Nanaimo. On April 1, CBC's Nahlah Ayed moderated Ideas for a Better Canada, a free public discussion at Edmonton's Stanley A. Milner Library. This sold-out event, focusing on the next chapter of Canada's democracy, featured local storytellers and thinkers discussing topics like political polarization, democratic reform and the future of Canadian identity. If you missed this event, you can listen to it on the Ideas podcast here. Here are a few photos from the event: April 10-13: Grande Cache Memorial Icebreaker Tournament We returned to Grande Cache, Alta., for its annual Icebreaker Memorial Tournament, a longstanding tradition in the community. Since 1989, the tournament has served as a memorial for members of the local hockey community who have died, with jerseys and pictures proudly displayed as tokens of remembrance. Players, coaches, volunteers and parents are among some of the local hockey heroes honoured throughout the weekend. CBC's Adrienne Lamb and Dave Bajer were in town collecting stories, and shared the importance of the tournament on Daybreak Alberta and Edmonton AM. Meanwhile, our communications team was at the Grande Cache Recreation Centre, giving away hot chocolate and swag and learning how CBC could continue to uplift the community! Outside of the rink, we heard from experts about wildfire preparedness, toured the 17,200-square-foot Kikinow Elders Lodge and explored the area.
