Meet our Holiday Gnome Hunt! Think elf on the shelf meets a scavenger hunt. Find a gnome and win big prizes from local businesses. We’ll have more on that soon 😉

Our Holiday Shopping Map is back, and if #OldStrathcona isn’t your go-to holiday shopping destination, well, we think you should change that 😋 There are over 90 businesses where you can find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list!

Plus, Winter Whyte Light Up will be here in a little over two weeks! It really is cooler down here during the holiday season✨

This traffic control box in Light Horse Park was recently wrapped with art from a local artist to honour and remember those who serve, have served, and those impacted by war. The recently revamped park creates a peaceful space for anyone and everyone to gather and reflect, especially those who have lost loved ones and fled from countries torn apart by war.

Please note that many businesses in #oldstrathcona are also adjusting their hours to observe. Be sure to check before you plan your visit. And, next time you’re in the area, walk over to Light Horse Park and take a few minutes to reflect.

One perk of daylight savings is that we get to enjoy that #whyteave sparkle a little longer ✨

Big thanks to the @cityofedmonton crews for upgrading the tree lights to ones that a twinkle and are colour programmable. They really make our BIA shine 🤩
