We were lucky enough to have been invited to the @elementsoutfitters festivities last night to celebrate the long delayed grand opening of their Edmonton location! 🎉👏

Located along Gateway Blvd in the historic Crawford Block, this location initially opened in October 2020 but had to delay their celebrations until now. Missed out on the events so far? Don’t worry! There are still events happening this Friday night, as well as a @pactcoffeeco pop-up in store Saturday from 10-3! 🛍☕️

Podcast Launch Day! 🎙️ The @cityofedmonton Ma

Podcast Launch Day! 🎙️ The @cityofedmonton Making Space podcast is out with a new episode today, featuring none other than Cherie Klassen, Executive Director of the Old Strathcona Business Association! Cherie and host Jennifer Renner talk about "Connecting the Dots" - how our city can bring people and businesses closer together through planning and zoning. How can every resident meet their needs within a 15-minutes from where they live? 🚶‍♂️

Listen now at the link in our bio 🎧 to hear them chat about how Old Strathcona is a walkable district and how transit creates accessibility to this city center 🚌. This is one episode in a 5-part series that tells "stories of real-life folks and communities whose lives have felt the impact of how Edmonton has been and is being planned. It’s an honest look at some of the hard-won lessons of how Edmonton can be an equitable city for all." The full episode is available wherever you get your podcasts or on the Transforming Edmonton website.

Look what we have here. 🚲⚡
Yes, the e-bikes have arrived in Edmonton and you can ride one of these just the same as the scooters, from both @lime and @bird. You've got an all new way to get to all your favourite #OldStrathcona shops and restaurants!
🚲
Remember to ride safe and keep the sidewalks clear of e-bikes and scooters. The best way to explore Old Strathcona is doing it in ways that make it easy for others to enjoy the same.

The taps are flowing once again! 💧 Thanks to @C

The taps are flowing once again! 💧
Thanks to @CityofEdmonton and @EPCOR for re-connecting the water filling station on 83 Avenue, right in front of the farmers' market. Now everyone can get a drink of cold and clean water as summer heats up.
This is one of a dozen water filling stations in Edmonton, part of equity-building actions that began last year.
If you find the tap isn’t working please report that to 311. You can also find sinks in the public washrooms at the corner of #WhyteAve and Gateway Boulevard (103 Street).
When the heat is really on, if you notice anyone who may have been out in the sun too long and seems to be struggling you can call 211 or, in emergency situations, dial 911.

Yesterday’s #pride 🌈event was honestly spectacular. From live music, creative treats, to live art making, it was an inclusive place to really be apart of the magic. Thank you @grindstonetheatre and @fruitloopyeg for putting this together and everyone in between.❤️After a long time away from these type of gatherings, this sure was an amazing snapback! #happypride #yegevents #pridereunitedyeg #oldstrathcona

Our rainbow crosswalks are back in time for #Pride

Our rainbow crosswalks are back in time for #PrideReunited! 🌈
You can find freshly painted crosswalks in the colours of the Pride Progress Flag across #OldStrathcona. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ This includes the familiar six-colour rainbow and chevrons of black, brown, light blue, pink and white to represent communities of colour and those who are transgender or other gender-identities. #Intersectionality
Walk along the Pride crosswalks on #WhyteAve at 106 and 108 Streets, and on Calgary Trail (104 Street) at 84 Avenue.
Not too far away, you'll find @fruitloopyeg and @grindstonetheatre hosting one of Edmonton's largest Pride events in years. It's all day Saturday and free for everyone to come and enjoy.
🖌️
Thanks again to the @CityofEdmonton for keeping our Pride crosswalks bright and shiny for another year.
