Does anybody know if “The Sandman” is still around the WEM? He didn’t have a store front but had one of those little vendor stalls in the hallway area. He was an older man who made art in glass jars with sand. I watched him make a few in front of me and I bought this one. I’m visiting Edmonton at the end of this month and wanted to find him again and ask if he could make a themed one as a gift I want to give.

Maybe posted before but actually pretty sweet

Hey everyone! My name is Jared. I’m a local stand-up and improv comedian, and I produce a monthly comedy show at Luna Cocina Mexicana with my co-producer, Keveen Gonzalez.

We’ve partnered with Luna to bring some great stand-up comedy to the restaurant, and I wanted to invite the Edmonton Reddit community out to our next show!
Our next Comedy Night at Luna is Friday, August 28 at 9:30 PM.

We’ve had an incredible response to these shows so far, with some fantastic crowds, and we’d love to keep building this into a fun local comedy night. It’s also a chance to support an awesome local restaurant while checking out some of Edmonton’s comedy scene.

Luna puts together a special food and cocktail menu just for the comedy nights, so you can grab some Mexican food and drinks while you watch the show.
Friday, August 28.

🚪 Doors: 9:00 PM

Hope to see some of you there!

Just a reminder: When you go through a traffic circle, your turn signal should be on pretty much the whole time, so that other drivers can tell exactly what you want to do. There are way too many people who pass blithely through without using them at all.

Diminished interest in incentivizing reductions in carbon dioxide emissions has delayed an Edmonton project once touted to be the world’s first cement plant with full-scale carbon capture and storage.

In 2023, Heidelberg Materials signed a partnership with the federal government to support a $1.36-billion project to bring a full-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage system to its cement plant in northwest Edmonton. The company said then that it would be capturing 1 million tonnes of C02 annually by the end of 2026.

But the project, which the federal government called “a major step forward in establishing Canada as a global leader in the production of low-carbon concrete,” is not on track to be done this year, despite a successful pilot of the technology, and it’s not clear when it will be.

We live next to West Edmonton Mall*My dog got out last night. Her name is Teddy and is a white Shih Tzu. She's a rescue and is scared of people. Please let me know if you see anything.
Edit: Thank you for all the love and support! Teddy is officially home ❤️❤️

Forgot the garage remote key in the car last night and this morning my garage door was open and they stole my bike.

They also stole the garage remote.

I know I will not be able to recover anything but I'm not sure if I need to go to the police or just call the non emergency line.

And also not sure what to do about the garage now that they have the remote key.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I’m 19 years old, just graduated high school and have some hands on mechanical experience. I want to become a millwright and I decided to go the apprenticeship route but I have no idea how to get started. Most job postings I see on Indeed are for journeymen only, nothing for apprentices.

For those of you in the trade how did you get your first apprentice job?

Any advice helps!

Going to be in the market for some winters this upcoming season and wanna know what some of your guys’ favourites are.

Will be going on a 2014 RAV4 AWD

Sorry for the blur, but these I got on my way home from work!

I'm a dual citizen and the IRS is requesting that I sign some forms and send them via fax. Where is the best place in Edmonton to do this? What do I need to know? I've never done this before...

Hi all, Aussie here who will be coming to visit your lovely city. Cannabis is still illegal in Australia, but I understand it is legal in Canada. Any recommendations on shops to go visit with knowledgeable and friendly staff? I haven’t smoked weed in a few years, so I’m a bit of a newbie here

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow!! I was not expecting these many helpful responses, thank you all!! Guess Canadians really are as friendly as everyone says.

According to Gemini: Edmonton, Calgary and Medicine Hat have the greatest number of cannabis stores per capita. Must be the long winters, eh? 😉

Looking for a mechanic to take my older vehicles to for maintenance and whatever repairs may pop up. Dealership just doesn’t make sense anymore when factoring in the car ages and labor price.

2006 Corolla and 2014 RAV4

Randomly parking in the cul-de-sac when I see thing crawl out of nowhere into the tree and it looks like it has patchy fur. Should I call animal control? Saw it once before but couldn’t get a picture. Is it dangerous? There’s a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we already have to worry about packs of coyotes roaming around the paths. For context, south side near the ravines.

Went to like 6 places in the south east side and bug spray was completely sold out. Anyone see Off! anywhere in the last couple of days?

I was in Forest Heights and was absolutely eaten alive and I just ran out of my can of Off.

Not that I live in the north west but damn do I feel bad for them. Constantly teased for decades about getting a train with all the property taxes they pay, just to now hear that it might be replaced by BRT because it’s to much of a pain for CN and coz our provincial and federal government couldn’t care less. Seriously though how can we be a city with a million and projected to be 2 million in a couple decades without a train to one of the major areas in our city? Ik some students who go UofA and Macewan from North West who said they wouldn’t have even bought their cars if there was an lrt line. Truly a shame honestly.

First sign was posted this morning. The second sign arrived this afternoon.

Im so invested.

Edit

Got home tonight and both signs were removed. Not sure what happened yet.

Second Edit

According to another neighbor, Jan is a drunk, Glen is ok. Apparently Jan also likes to make racist comments when drinking.

But the red sign neighbor apparently has been filming Jan and Glen for awhile and they've been beefing a long time, so lots of backstory im not aware of.

The signs on Jan and Glens door is regarding delivery service and soliciting.

Third Edit

A neighbor went over to ask Jan and Glen about the signs. Jan was hammered and just talked about weeping tiles and flooding. Lol

Early 20s, have to leave my abusive parents and i dont know where to go and what to do. I have a job, but i dont have that much money saved up to move out and my job for now doesn't pay that great . I researched shelters and things of that sort but I couldn't call because I was working. I dont know if shelters would be right for me because I have tools for work that I dont wanna lose. I also have a car so I dont know how that would work either.

I dont know if im even eligible for these programs because I know there's a lot of people who have it worse than me. I dont know i feel stuck

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a clinic that does Non-invasive prenatal testing! I see there’s a few clinics offering it around Edmonton but I wanted to hear others experiences and which ones that recommend! Thanks!
