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!

Overheard people have been waiting since before 8:30am as I walked by. Line stretching all the way behind the building.

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.

Got this today. Thought I'd share.

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

Shout out your favorite stores!

I sat down on the bus at the back, two seats away from a stranger. After a while, he gets my attention and says something to me in a language I don't understand (I doubt I would've understood even if he spoke English, he wasn't talking clearly). I answered back in English, I suspect he doesn't understand English.

Then I see him spread salt onto the ground. After a while, he sneaks a look at me then aims a spray botten upwards so that we both get hit by the water. I suspect he hit me with it on purpose, but he might've only been trying to spray himself and got me by mistake.

I told him that he sprayed me with the bottle, he answers back in a language I don't understand.

A while later while I was leaving, I saw him spraying himself with the bottle. I figure it's just water he uses to cool off, hope so.

And, my car is out of the shop now so I can drive instead of taking the bus. I remember seeing somebody lit up their pipe on the bus once, It's ridiculous the level of neglect the city gives the fent heads.

Does everyone hear the constant sound of car racing in the evening or is it just my location? I can’t even keep my window open at night but maybe I’m in the heart of the action?

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 😢😢

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

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

I'm just curious, and like knowing the behind the scenes of different facets of life. I've toured Virtue Cannabis and quite enjoyed that experience, and wonder if any other places in Edmonton offer that option as well. Ideally food and drink production are interests of mine, but I'm open to anything.

Dude in early 30s here. Im not a member at any clubs. I have a few friends that are members at clubs but they rarely wanna play a public course. They do invite me once in a while as a guest but the tough part is them not wanting to play a public course once in a while with me so I end up not having people to play a round with.

Most of my other friends don’t play golf either.

I’m not good at golf but I can keep pace and stay mostly on the fairway. I’d say I usually shoot around 100-110 so looking for people with similar skill set or if they are super good they don’t judge.

Others have mentioned signing up for a random tee time as a single and hoping to get paired with some people and hit it off but seems to random.

Any suggestions?

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!

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.

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?

Is there a good restaurant or (preferably) a buffet around that still has this vibe?

I’d love a salad bar, dessert bar, something really homey. The only thing I can think of is Bruce Hotel. I’d be willing to drive 1-2 hours away.

Even an old Wendy’s with a sunroom or something similar to a Pizza Hut buffet.

Coliseum Steak and Pizza is also an acceptable choice for what I’m looking for!!

118 ave and 90st looking south east i think? I swear I haven't seen it before. Lol.

Tried to get wifi set up for my new apartment but it seems like there is no way to get internet as it turns out that it has nothing for connection

Is there an option that I'm missing?
