CBC Edmonton will be off the air Monday evening due to a fire at the City Centre mall. TV viewers and radio listeners will receive broadcasts from CBC Calgary.
Edmonton Fire Rescue was called to a fire at approximately 3:40 p.m. at Shoppers Drug Mart at Edmonton City Centre East on the corner of 103rd Ave and 101st Street. When crews arrived, some shelves on the main floor were on fire, but the fire was extinguished 13 minutes later.
Fire investigators remain on scene to determine the cause and extent of damages.
City Centre East will remain closed Monday evening, though the west side of the mall will be open. Local radio and television news from CBC Edmonton is expected to resume Tuesday.
Please be advised that the East side of Edmonton City Centre will be closed for the remainder of day. West retail (the side of the mall with Hudson’s Bay) is currently open pending further notice. Thank you for your cooperation during this time.
