CBC North corrected this story about an all-season road to service a proposed open pit gold mine.

A video that contained these details has been unpublished.

In fact, his family left Cuba before the revolution began.

CBC News corrected this story and video about a U.S. submarine that sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo. Earlier versions of the content said U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth had characterized the incident as the first time since the Second World War that a submarine had sunk an enemy combatant ship with a torpedo. In fact, a British submarine sank the Argentinian ship Belgrano with torpedoes in 1982.

CBC Vancouver updated the headline on this story, about OpenAI banning the account of the Tumbler Ridge shooter months before the tragedy, to remove a reference to OpenAI reaching out to the RCMP. OpenAI contacted the RCMP after the Tumbler Ridge shooting and not at the time the shooter's account was banned.

CBC Vancouver corrected this story about the number of people waiting for long-term care beds in the province. A previous headline said the number of people waiting has doubled since 2016.

CBC Vancouver corrected two stories, published on Jan. 5 and Jan. 24, about a civil suit against three Denny's workers.

CBC Saskatchewan corrected two stories, originally published in November 2021 and April 2022, about residential school survivors and the Catholic Church. Previous versions of the stories said some advocates believe the Catholic Church still owes residential school survivors $60 million, but did not include an explanation of the perceived debt. The stories were updated to include those details and to clarify that a court deemed the church’s obligations to have been met, but advocates disagreed with that conclusion and demanded the church pay further support toward residential school survivors.

CBC North corrected this story about a consulting company that is being sued for a breach of contract. An earlier version said that the acting executive director of the Yukon Aboriginal Women's Council left in 2023, when in fact she resigned in early 2025.

He later said that based on additional analysis and review of multiple angles, he no longer believed the footage was edited.

CBC News corrected this story about video evidence of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. A previous version of the story said the front of the vehicle had "clearly" passed the officer as he fired the first shot, and that the videos did not appear to show the vehicle colliding with the officer.

On Oct. 23, 2025, CBC Edmonton aired an interview about municipal elections in Alberta in which a guest said there was a recount in Edmonton's Ward sipiwiyiniwak due to uncounted boxes of ballots.

On May 20, CBC News reported on a statement from the United Nations saying that 14,000 Palestinian children risked death from severe malnutrition over the coming 48 hours.

On Jan. 19, during an interview on CBC News Network, a guest used the word genocide to describe the actions of Israel in Gaza.

On Jan. 17, CBC News reported on the sentencing of a man who lives in Dawson City, Yukon who sexually assaulted his former intimate partner.

On July 18, 2023, CBC Toronto News at 6 aired a story about World Animal Protection Canada releasing report cards that grade the country's roadside zoos.

CBC News updated this story, published on Jan. 19, 2023, which originally referred to emails allegedly sent by a staffer in Danielle Smith's office to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service. Based on testimonies by confidential sources, CBC News at the time described those emails as "challenging prosecutors' assessment and direction on cases stemming from the Coutts border blockades and protests." On May 18, 2023, Alberta's Ethics Commissioner Marguerite Trussler released a report that included an investigation of an "allegation published by CBC that a member of the premier's staff emailed a Crown prosecutor about a case before the courts." Trussler reported that she found "no evidence of such an email," adding she can only come to the conclusion, based on the evidence that she has, that "no Crown prosecutor was emailed directly about any of the cases." At the same time, Trussler found that Danielle Smith had contravened the Conflicts of Interest Act in an interaction with the Minister of Justice and Attorney General in relation to Coutts charges, for which Smith has since apologized.

After the Ethics Commissioner's report was released, CBC News reviewed its journalism and re-interviewed a number of sources and parties to the matter. Confronted with the Commissioner's report, our sources have insisted that Crown prosecutors felt political pressure regarding the Coutts cases, but they are not able to confirm that the emails they originally described were sent directly from the premier's office to the Crown. As such, we have updated the story and related pieces, removing references to direct contact between the premier's office and prosecutors — which the premier has vehemently denied. CBC News regrets reporting direct contact by email.

On April 5, 2023, CBC Radio referred to the Gaza Strip being occupied. While Israel continues to control most of the flow of people and goods into and out of the Gaza strip, which to some analysts constitutes a continued occupation, it ended its permanent military presence there in 2005. An on-air clarification was broadcast April 6, and this clarification note was published to specify that Israel doesn't consider Gaza to be occupied. This clarification note has since been updated to describe Gaza's status more precisely.

On March 5, 2023, CBC News reported on the experiences of migrants making the dangerous trek through Central America to Mexico, with hopes of making it to Canada.

CBC News corrected this story, published on Jan. 16, 2023, about a dispute over travel insurance. A previous version of the story said an Ontario man had, in his Sunwing vacation package, several types of insurance — COVID-19 emergency medical insurance, as well as cancellation and interruption insurance — all provided by Manulife. In fact, Manulife only provided his COVID-19 emergency medical insurance, while Sunwing provided trip cancellation coverage. He had no interruption insurance.

An updated version of the episode was posted on Jan. 20, 2023. Additional information provided by LUMA Energy after publication was added at this time.

The headline was changed in the online and podcast version of this story. When published, the headline was "How a Canadian company became a public enemy in Puerto Rico."

On Jan. 9, 2023, CBC Radio's hourly newscasts reported the federal government initially scrapped plans to purchase F-35 fighter jets because of a trade dispute involving Boeing.

During the 2015 election, Justin Trudeau vowed to scrap the purchase program and hold a new competition for replacement fighters. An on-air correction was broadcast on Jan. 10.

In fact, NAV Canada is a privately run, not-for-profit corporation that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation system.

A correction notice was also added to the segment on the website and YouTube.

CBC News corrected this story, published on Sept. 15, 2022, about an Ottawa contractor accused of taking money and not finishing projects.

An editor's note was added to the top of this story, published May 21, 2022, about a photo linking two men and the national Iranian soccer team. The story said the photo was taken in April 2022 and that the men — national team manager Hamid Estili and Mahmoud Khazein — attended the party together. A previous version of the story also said Khazein was wanted by the FBI at the time the photo was taken. In fact, the photo appears to be from 2018 and Khazein was indicted by the FBI in July 2021.

A clarification notice was added to The National on a story about the CRTC's decision to ban the Russian news channel Russia Today (RT) in Canada. The piece quotes Slava Levin, the CEO of Ethnic Channels Group Limited, raising concerns about removing channels based on their political leanings. This was intended solely to convey Levin's concerns about the process followed by the CRTC. The story should have made it clear that Levin, who was born in Ukraine, does not support RT and favours the channel's removal in Canada. The clarification notice is available on the website and on YouTube for the segment, which aired on March 16, 2022.

A correction notice was added to a story on The National about the Chinese government promoting social media influencers with pro-government views in an attempt to improve perceptions on how it handles human rights issues.

A correction notice was added to the segment, which aired on Feb. 16 and is available on the website and on YouTube.

CBC News corrected this story, published on Feb. 15, about the resignation of Peter Sloly as Ottawa's police chief. A previous version mischaracterized a Globe and Mail report about Sloly.

In fact, Strauss used the term to describe a gym owner who said he would keep his business open under the Reopening Ontario Act, which allowed facilities to continue to serve people with disabilities.

CBC News has added a correction notice to a segment of The National, available on the website and on YouTube. The previous title of the video said a Toronto company had lost the stem cells of thousands of children. In fact, the company says the samples were destroyed.

CBC News corrected this story, published on April 13, that said a patient hospitalized with COVID-19 had received two doses of the vaccine more than 14 days prior to the onset of symptoms.

The headline was also changed to better reflect the overall information in the story.

CBC News has added a correction notice to an investigative documentary by The Fifth Estate called 13 Deadly Hours: the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting, available on the website and on YouTube. The documentary said officers jumped out of a cruiser outside the Onslow fire hall and began firing.

Since then, Nova Scotia's Serious Incident Response Team has found that it was an unmarked police vehicle.

We updated this story, first published on May 8, 2020, because the original article did not accurately clarify that the COVID-19 pandemic led to the changed visiting hours, and that the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre was following Ministry of Health guidelines that were updated due to the pandemic. The story has also been updated to add references to restrictions imposed by the Timmins and District Hospital, and to clarify that CBC Thunder Bay's research was based on a small random sampling of hospitals across Ontario and not a formal survey.

CBC News updated this story, originally published on April 23, 2020, which did not accurately reflect how the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre was planning for the pandemic. The story has been updated with exact wording from the 2017 Pandemic Influenza Plan. A previous version of this story also said patients with a poor prognosis being admitted to hospital would be left to die. In fact, that is not stated in the plan nor did CBC Thunder Bay practise due diligence in contacting the hospital for clarification on any aspect of the 92-page document.

On CBC Radio's The World This Hour, in a March 3 story regarding the International Criminal Court's decision to open up a war crimes investigation on Israel and Palestinians, we incorrectly reported that the court would investigate the Palestinians for the kidnap and murder of three Israeli soldiers in May 2014.

We removed the content of this Associated Press story, published on Jan. 9, 2021, after AP said it had reported an erroneous account of a phone conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and an investigative official from the state of Georgia about the U.S. election results. The corrected story is here.
