Good morning, Edmonton, Happy Sunday! 🎉
The sun is out and the skies are clear but Edmonton woke up to some big news this morning. A school bus blew a tire on the Yellowhead Friday evening, Darnell Nurse has formally asked to be traded, and the US and Iran are signing a deal today that could reopen one of the world's most critical shipping lanes. A lot for a Sunday morning coffee.💛
School bus blows a tire on Yellowhead Trail, four students taken to hospital
Forty-nine elementary students and seven adults were on board when their bus from St. Matthew Catholic School blew a tire on Yellowhead Trail Friday evening.
All students and staff are confirmed safe. Four children were taken to hospital for precautionary reasons and checked over by EMS.
A replacement bus brought the kids back to school after emergency crews cleared the scene.
The driver handled a scary situation well. Glad everyone is okay.
Darnell Nurse has asked the Oilers for a trade
Oilers alternate captain Darnell Nurse has formally told the organization he wants out after spending his entire NHL career in Edmonton.
He has a full no-movement clause until July 1, 2027 but gave the team a short list of preferred destinations. The Kings and Penguins are both named as teams he would accept.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Mark Spector broke the news Friday. Nurse had seven goals and 24 points this past season.
This one is going to sting for a while.
Council walks back stormwater fees for community leagues
Edmonton city council reversed its decision to charge community leagues directly for EPCOR stormwater fees after a wave of pushback from volunteers.
Councillor Jon Morgan brought forward the motion to simplify the payment system on June 8. Many leagues were struggling with the charges even after the city provided nearly $1 million in relief.
A new plan is due September 25.
Good news for the leagues keeping Edmonton's neighbourhoods connected.
Hop-on, hop-off Edmonton trolley launches Monday
Explore Edmonton is rolling out two new ways to see the city starting this week.
The Edmonton Explorer is a trolley-style bus connecting 20 attractions, hotels and entertainment districts beginning June 15. Run by SunDog Tour Co.
The Discover Edmonton Pass bundles admission to Fort Edmonton Park, the Muttart Conservatory and TELUS World of Science.
Great timing with a long summer stretch ahead.
PM Carney in Ireland, calling the G7 a turning point
Prime Minister Mark Carney was in Dublin Saturday meeting Irish PM Micheál Martin ahead of the G7 summit in the French Alps.
Carney said the world is in "a global rupture, not a quiet transition" and that the G7 will work to build a new world order covering AI, trade and geopolitical conflict.
This G7 includes a wider group than usual. Gulf states, Kenya, Brazil, Egypt and India are all joining the table.
Canada is showing up with a message this week.
Mike Babcock expected to be cleared to coach in the NHL again
An NHL insider says there is a strong likelihood Babcock will be allowed to return to coaching once the league wraps up its investigation into his conduct with Columbus.
The allegations centred on Babcock asking players to share personal phones during team meetings and displaying private family photos on a screen.
The Edmonton angle: Sportsnet reports McDavid and Draisaitl are both reportedly on board about bringing Babcock in as the Oilers' next head coach.
This story is moving fast. Follow-up to Issue 101.

BET YOU DID NOT KNOW 🤔
The Stanley Cup is older than the NHL itself. Lord Frederick Stanley, Canada's Governor General at the time, donated the trophy in 1892. The NHL was not founded until 1917, a full 25 years later. The Cup was already more than two decades old before the league that hands it out every summer even existed.
