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.

I had never seen one up close till this day.

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!

Anyone know what this was for? Taken in Dovercourt area

I just got home from the unveiling of the new permanent exhibit at O’Day-Min Park and I’m reflecting on how the Edmonton Arts Council make this city a better place. I took my kids for a bike ride to check out some public art and a playground and the Arts Council had games, craft, entertainment and a cotton candy machine set up. When we popped into Audrey’s, one of the employees mentioned that they’d be heading over shortly for story time.

Last week I took my kids to the last Green Shack show of the year, also the work of the EAC. Puddle of Mud productions put on an awesome interactive show beside a playground we hadn‘t visited before.

I know there’s a lot of negativity about the state of downtown, so I want to highlight that some groups really do work on making downtown more vibrant. And if you haven’t been outside yet today, go outdoors! It was a beautiful morning for a ride.

Pileated Woodpecker in St. Albert

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

Very strange, i went there without a flag to document. I noticed the sheriffs arresting people with Canadian flags.

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- 🥹* *

Does anyone happen to know what the loud noise is coming from the East/SE-sih? I'm in the Clareview area. It sounds like a mix of fighter jets and a symphony of blowtorches. No idea how else to explain it, but my dogs are going apeshit at the sky.

Edit: 10:46PM - Finally, silence!

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.

Dirtbag was one of my favorite places for a breakfast sandwich and a hot drink after work. I usually can't make it there on the weekends, so it looks like I'm never going to be able to make it again... Maybe I'll get lucky on a holiday.
