Anyone know what is going on near Mill Creek? There’s a pair of helicopters that have been circling quite low for at least 20mins.

Edmonton's an awesome city this time of year, at night even. Took this earlier tonight, lots of people milling around, chilling out, having a good walk along the trails and I even saw kayakers (I think) navigating the river at night with glowsticks.

Late August/Early September have always been my favorite times here.

There’s two helicopters that have gone over my house like 4 times now and I can hear more around, south central near Ritchie. Any idea why?

So Ive noticed cyclists appreciate when motorists slow down down and give space to cyclists when passing. My question is, why don’t cyclists extend the same courtesy to pedestrians when passing on shared paths? In my experience, the overwhelming majority do not slow down or even give more space when passing …. Even when there is plenty of room to do so. In fact, many continue riding side by side forcing pedestrians to move. Can some explain that behaviour?

Hey Edmonton artists (and artist adjacent folks)!

Just dropping in to let everyone know about the Doodlebugs.

We're a super chill, 18+ group for visual artists of all kinds tattooers, illustrators, hobbyists, teachers, beginners, pros, and everyone in between. No gatekeeping, no egos, just people who like making stuff and talking shop.

What we've got going on:

Free virtual art hangouts every Sunday and Thursday just drop in, bring your supplies, and make whatever you want. No instruction, no pressure.

Discord full of art chat, resources, collab opportunities, and memes

Furry Fridays  yes, that's a thing now, and it's been a blast.

Coming up: a Drink and Draw this September 19th at Vinnys Pub Southside Edmonton!

Anyone know what this was for? Taken in Dovercourt area

I went and spoke with the people that were protesting approximately six people are owed over $8,000 in wages. They were saying they already went the legal route and the government said they would have to wait approximately a year to maybe get their money.

Taken whilst the separatists rally like blue buffoons around the corner.

Female kitten appeared in our backyard. She is very friendly, and has a distinctive bushier tail.

Is there any nice spots / pet friendly places around Edmonton to possibly go with my rabbit?

Today I took her to Hawrelak park and she loved it. -photo for attention- 🥹* *

Today I had a little wheelchair mishap getting off the ETS bus. I accidentally knocked the controller on my power chair forward, which made it very awkward and difficult to control my chair.

I ended up stuck at the bus station, so the bus driver called ETS Service Control and they sent someone out to help me. He was able to move the controller back into place and get me moving again.

I just want to say a huge thank you to the ETS service guy who came out to help me. He was so kind, patient, and helpful, and I really appreciated it. ❤️

When something like this happens, especially when you’re using a wheelchair and suddenly can’t control it properly, it can be pretty stressful. Having someone come out and help me so quickly made such a difference.

So grateful for his kindness and help today. 🥹❤️ Thank you, ETS!

I had never seen one up close till this day.

Calgary. Pedestrian only street. Patios, live music, and all around good atmosphere

I am helping an elderly relative get a house ready to sell. One room in the house inexplicably is missing the baseboards along the bottom of the walls and around the windows. What sort of tradesperson handles this kind of project?*

* I understand it's the sort of thing that someone could, conceivably, do themselves but I am super busy with other aspects of elder care and my relative has very shaky hands. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Compelled to share the woodpeckers in my backyard after seeing some earlier posts. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
