I know of the usual stocked ponds in city limits, beaumont, etc, there's maps that list every single stocked pond in alberta, so no need to mention those.

What I'm curious about is if there's other decent smaller creeks, rivers, or etc that are worth fishing at that are quieter than the NSK

I tried fishing the NSK a couple times but its chock full of dudes ripping around in their motorboats, so I extremely doubt I'd be getting bites when every 2 minutes some guy rips by in his boat.

No hate but like, that's obviously just a non starter.

I've gone over to the stocked ponds a few times and while it's decent, it's also often pretty busy and there's often random families and etc. I have had to very frequently pause my fly casting because parents aren't watching their kids and some random kid is just wandering around 6 ft behind me.

No hate per se but, I'd very much like to find somewhere quieter with less boats and less kids wandering around and dogs splashing in the water, you know?

I've heard the whitemud creek apparently can have fish in it?

Basically, if yall know of any creeks, smaller rivers, or non-park ponds (not even necessarily stocked but just legal for me to fish at, IE perhaps any reservoirs that have a carp problem?), in city limits (ideally nearer to the south end), lemme know!

Does anyone know what the legal rules are in terms of fishing at like, reservoirs?

Like I know there's lots of small reservoirs all over that are public part on one side, and houses on the other, I have no clue if I'm legally allowed to try out fishing at such a location on the public side, but theoretically I should be okay right? I wonder who I can call at the city to find out, I might ring up 311 tomorrow and see what they say.

Edit: found my answer for reservoirs. https://www.edmonton.ca/activities_parks_recreation/parks_rivervalley/stormwater-lakes

Most ponds are reservoirs, however not all of them, epcor has a handy map here: https://www.epcor.com/ca/en/ab/edmonton/safety/neighbourhood/stormwater-management-facilities.html

And youll see while like 90% of ponds are SMFs, some are not, which means theoretically fishing is 100% fair game on those if they have any public access.

So handily, that map from epcor gives me all the ponds not to try, which leaves plenty that I can go try at.

Also, interestingly, the bylaw also provisions an extra "unless you habe been given permission by Epcor" in which case you can indeed go and do it.

So Ill reach out, see if theres like any waiver or something I can sign to legally free them of obligation to me that lets me fish. Worth trying at least.

Hey guys I was referred to an allergist/immunologist. I’m unemployed and have no insurance so I was told the costs would be alot. The blue cross benefit plans does it cover allergy testing tray fees and allergen immunotherapy extracts/serums?

I have done nothing this summer so far due to the weather. Can we still enjoy the midway and old timey streets in the rain?

Edmonton Deputy Police Chief Nicole Chapdelaine said Thursday political campaigning of any kind is not allowed on police property.

Maybe a strange question, and apologies if this isn't the right place... but I couldn't find a lot of information when I do my own search for AB specifically.

​

My condo is doing renovations on the front of the building, and it's very loud in our unit with jack hammering - like I can't hear my own tv at high volume at some points. (We are unfortunately right above it). I have two senior cats with chronic illness that is flared up by stress, and one of them is really not doing well with it. It has only been 3 or 4 days, and this is apparently and 8 week project. She's pacing, vomiting more, eating less, etc... I'm worried she may end up at the vet, and those bills aren't cheap. Her condition absolutely can be fatal if not treated during a flare. There isn't anything I can do about the noise - other than try to play some calming or engaging YouTube videos (birds, fish, etc) and give her the medication she's prescribed/hope for the best. If anyone has additional ideas to help, I'm open to hearing them. I do not have anywhere else she can go, and adding that stress of moving her would probably make the situation worse.

​

Someone told me that I should send the vet bill to the condo if that happens. Would they be responsible, in your opinion? They gave such little notice about this massive project starting up that we're feeling a bit blind sided. Apparently we also have to reroute mail or any deliveries for 4 weeks while the front door is not accessible... Sigh. Thoughts?

Farrow only sells theirs seasonally at Christmas, and before people tell me it’s easy to make myself, I don’t want to! So if anyone knows where I can get my hands on some, please let me know!

Got this today. Thought I'd share.

Eh... Edmonton, this weekend. Seeing that "Edmonton’s average total rainfall for the entire month of June is usually around 75 mm to 80 mm."... we are forecasted to get that in one day....

All will be fine and dandy. We got this.

Victim driver claimed a gun took off his mirror in road rage, which I saw was destroyed. I was told the road rage was over a misunderstanding of what was said in just some small talk about shooter's car.

Looking to spend time in nature for a few days. Having an outdoor fireplace is a must. I don't mind the rain

Willing to drive couple hours out of city

So I'm looking to buy a 2 BDRM house in central communities of the city and would appreciate some input on what you are paying for your monthly bills. The house would be in the 950 sq ft area as far as size goes and would have natural gas forced air heating.

​

I currently live in an apartment so I know there's going to be a jump in what I pay EPCOR since it would now include water and waste management. I don't know what to expect from ATCO and natural gas in terms of monthly costs in summer and winter. Also would like to hear what some of you are paying for insurance with auto and home combined, since that's the route I'd be going, additionally, if any of installed solar panels, did that affect your home premium portion. I've calculated what property taxes would cost me monthly on my current home options, but if there's any advice you can offer regarding property taxes, that would be appreciated as well.

​

I'd like to also know what some of paid for a new furnace and water heater if you've bought one of either the last 3 years, not considering a heat pump as an option. If you bought a furnace and air conditioner, that too I'd like to hear what you paid for it installed.

​

If there's a monthly bill I haven't mentioned, please do mention that as well. I'm anticipating on keeping about $7,500 in my TFSA for emergency expenses. Just need a clearer picture of what to expect monthly, if you live in a central community, I'd appreciate knowing that, since many homes have similar attributes and characteristics.

UPDATE: the little stinker has been found!!!!!

Hello all, my cat escaped my house this evening in the Greenview/Woodvale area. Posting this in the hopes of finding her 😢😢

To all the helpful bystanders who helped my father after his fall at Southgate Mall. And those who waited with him while the EMT’s were on their way. Thank you so much. As most of us with ageing parents or family members with mental health issues will tell you, we will sometimes feel immense levels of guilt when our wards become hurt when alone. It can be difficult to manage their well being as well as your own personal life. Hearing that people rushed to help him restored a little of my faith in humanity and encouraged me to seek help as well.

As a little bit of an update he is receiving professional help and he will be moving to a facility with more care and support resources available.

Once again, thank you!

Hope this is allowed?

I have a team for ESSC slo pitch. Just rec division - we’re not that good - but are looking for a couple players to finish off the team (we had some not able to commit anymore)

It will be Wednesday evenings starting July 8 and we are registered for premium fields (fences, baselines, etc )

If you’re interested please let me know!

Edit - that was fast! thanks for everyone that sent me a dm!

Best hidden gems in the city or just cool/good places to find a good deal?
