Blanchard’s Boots Seal Elks’ Win | Canada News

Edmonton Elks roar back to life with a gritty 19-17 win over the B.C. Lions, thanks to Vincent Blanchard’s four clutch field goals and a late-game defensive stand that sealed the victory. The Lions’ QB Nathan Rourke exited early with a shoulder injury, and backup Chase Brice couldn’t carry the load, throwing an interception that set up Blanchard’s first kick. The game stayed close, with B.C. cutting the lead to two points late, but Edmonton’s defense locked down on fourth down with under a minute left, running out the clock. The win puts Edmonton back atop the West Division, while B.C. remains winless since their only victory came against Edmonton earlier this season. Elks head to Saskatchewan next, Lions host Toronto.

Storms Hit Edmonton Hard | Canada News

Edmonton’s storm season is no joke—over $230 million in insured damage since May, with homes and cars taking the biggest hits. While businesses are also affected, the real toll is on everyday folks coping with flooded basements, torn fences, and wrecked vehicles. Mental health services are seeing a spike in calls as cleanup becomes overwhelming. Alberta’s weather is brutal, but this year’s damage pales compared to past disasters like Calgary’s $3 billion hailstorm. Bottom line: check your insurance. Flood coverage? Often extra.

Build AI With Older Adults | Canada News

AI is being built by mostly young developers, leaving older adults sidelined — and that’s creating tech that doesn’t work for them or even respects their lives. From blurry AI images of seniors to fall-detection tools that frame aging as a problem, the bias is real. Older adults demand a seat at the table — to shape what AI builds, what data it uses, and how it’s governed. They also want clear, community-based education, not more apps. The bottom line? Build AI with older adults — their lived experience is essential to creating truly inclusive, equitable tech for everyone.
