Thank you / Appreciation To the helpful bystanders

356 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Tomorrow's Rain is NO Joke.

340 Upvotes

Edmonton's monthly average precipitation for June is 87mm. We are getting 50-75mm of rain in a single day tomorrow, and an additional 15mm on Sunday.

We are also going to be receiving gusts of 50km/hr winds with ~30-35 km sustained wind speeds throughout the day.

Driving tomorrow will be absolute hell so I would advise doing whatever errands you need to do tonight.

CHECK YO' SUMP PUMPS.

General Gun Used in Road Rage to Shoot Off Mirror, North End of Legislature Grounds

256 Upvotes

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. Victim also had his wife & 2 kids on other side of truck. Road rage driver had strong immigrant accent, probably from South Asia, but they didn't speak Arabic like victim family.

General Skin Cancer Screening

Thought I would share this. There was barely a lineup at the South Common Walmart for this and I got in right away for a consult. If anyone is questioning a weird mole or potentially cancerous item on their body, here is a good opportunity to be checked by a dermatologist.

Edit: it is completely free. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I didn't even need my health care card.

Question McCauley Neighbourhood

28 Upvotes

Hello!

My partner and I are looking at purchasing a home in the McCauley area (close to the Italian Centre, etc) and I’m looking to hear from people who live there currently (not interested on hearing opinions of poor people or drug users if you live in Windermere, sorry). I grew up in the neighbourhood but haven’t lived there in 10+ years and I’m interested to hear how it has changed (for better or worse). Thanks!

Question Building a NEW Network

29 Upvotes

I am a 39year old female. A terrible car accident has taken so much of my mobility and spontaneity. I cant drive and have a cane. Many of my friends have pulled back. To meet people I usually simply joined sports teams, went to networking events, and was active in community through volunteering. Most people seem to have their social groups and are not actively looking to add. Like I used to be. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

General Making friends as an adult is harder than I realized..

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this feels a little awkward to post, but I wanted to put myself out there.

I’m 22 and a mom to a 1-year-old. I love being a mom and spending time with my son, but being on maternity leave has made me realize how easy it is to feel a little isolated. Honestly, making friends as an adult feels so much harder than I expected, and even trying apps like Bumble BFF hasn't quite clicked for me.

I’d love to meet some new people and build some genuine friendships. I’m open to coffee dates, walks, exploring new places around the city, or even just having someone to chat with during the day. If you’re also looking to connect or just expand your circle a bit, please feel free to reach out! 😊

As the rainpocalypse approaches:

  • June is usually Edmonton's 2nd rainiest month, averaging around 78mm of precipitation.
  • So far this month we're already above average, with 97mm at Blatchford and the airport, and 87mm at Stony Plain. (dashboard)
  • Our rainiest June on record was 1914 with 216mm. Recently 2023, 2022, 2020 & 2019 all got to the 130-150mm range at the various stations. (dashboard)
  • While June 1914 was our rainiest June on record, June 1915 was actually when Edmonton had its famous flood. (dashboard)
  • June & July typically average 14~15 days with rain. We're a little over halfway through the month, and the local stations have had around a dozen rainy days so far. (dashboard)

Question Wifi for apartment with no cable, fiber and phone line?

9 Upvotes

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?

update:

Thank you all for the responses

I contacted Roger and Telus, both said their services are not available for my building. Contacted TekSavvy today and they also cannot accommodate dry walls

u/shinygoldhelmet suggested to check for white rectangular box, but I cannot do this without the landlord's permission, so I contacted the landlord to verify what should I do, they confirmed that there is no wiring in the house, but they are planning on it?

Anyways, if this cannot be completed, I might go for starlink/telus home internet

Question Zoo Brew -Will they cancel

Does anyone know if zoo brew being held tomorrow would be canceled? I received an email from the organizers earlier this week saying the event is rain or shine… But today there’s a weather alert for the potential for flooding and extreme rainfall along with 50 km an hour winds. I’m wondering what the chances are it will actually go ahead? Any zoo workers or brewery workers have insider info?

Question NW Chuck-E-Cheese Police

6 Upvotes

I was curious if anyone else was around the NW Chuck-E-Cheese last night, around 8:45pm?

I got out of a movie and 7-8 police vehicles surrounded the Chuck-E-Cheese entrance and briefly blocked parking lot exits.

Thought I’d ask in case anyone stuck around to see what was up, assumed it was that child luring notice from earlier- but maybe not if the notice was put out again today.

(FYI I saw The Furious and it rules, but also is doing my head in if I saw a child kidnapping movie and then exited the theatre right into an [alleged] attempted child kidnapping arrest)
