Moved in August, registered to vote in Forest Heights, but the voting station slip just arrived. ID still shows the old Hamptons address. New ID takes 3–4 weeks to arrive. Last year Elections Canada let you bring one ID plus two pieces of current address proof (bills, etc.). This year Elections Alberta's running the vote — unclear if they accept the same workaround.
A local is hunting for a download of "This Is the Getdown!!!" by now-defunct Edmonton band The Wolfnote. Can't find it on Bandcamp, but some CDs are out there — just gotta get a disc drive first.
A truck sped through a 3-way intersection and crashed into a daycare in SE Edmonton. Everyone in the truck was drunk, but none of them knew who was driving. They all tried to fight the cops — one guy was so drunk he started pissing on himself. Police arrested the driver and detained three others; one kept trying to walk away and argued with the officer. This is the second time a vehicle has hit this daycare.
Murder on the Orient Express just wrapped at the Citadel and it's a must-see. The set design is insane — the train literally moves across the stage, and people are still talking about how incredible it looked. If you're an Agatha Christie fan, they nailed it.
Edmonton police nabbed a 17-year-old doing 136 in a 50 zone on the Yellowhead in active construction. That's a wild speed for a teen driver in a work zone — insurance rates are gonna hurt.
A local's asking for S-tier cinnamon bun recommendations around the city — soft, gooey, chewy, worth the drive and the price tag. Thread's blowing up with suggestions.
Someone's searching for a writing community that actually meets in person — sharing, critiquing, discussing work. West End, Downtown, or South Side preferred. If you know a group, that thread's the place.
Edmonton pitcher Erik Sabrowski just became the first pitcher from the city to earn an MLB postseason win — historic moment for E-town baseball.
New to Edmonton and looking for a court to shoot hoops. If you know a spot where people regularly show up for pickup basketball, local subredditors are gathering intel.
Edmontonian craving the "red pizza" (aka tomato pie) their family used to get from Italian bakeries. If you know where to find it, they're asking — original family recipe might be lost but the craving's real.
A Reddit user called Blue Cross about private insurance and got paired with a customer service rep who was so funny and genuinely helpful they ended up offering to tutor him in Filipino. The call actually got all the business done — somehow between sorting out the account stuff and cracking jokes.
Alberta's forcing Edmonton to scrap most of its 2024 zoning overhaul that had allowed duplexes, rowhouses, and up to 8-unit apartment buildings in single-family zones. Three-month deadline to restore old parking and density rules.
Sleigh bells are ringing and the city's gearing up for the holidays. Whether it's holiday markets, festive events, or seasonal menus, Edmonton's got options lined up.
Businesses across Edmonton are receiving Rainbow Registered status, signalling commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion. More than just a sticker — it's a recognition backed by specific practices and community support.
Someone involved with Edmonton zoning organizations posted on Reddit about waste concerns in infills — photos of overflowing bins, pile-ups. The city actually fixed this. Waste standards for multi-unit developments got updated last January, so new rowhomes permitted after that won't have the same issues. Older ones reaching completion now are still dealing with it.
People are venting about Edmonton's ER wait times stretching 8, 10, even 12+ hours with almost no updates on where they stand. Patients sit in waiting rooms in pain, exhausted, dehydrated, scared — and nobody tells them when or if they'll be seen. Healthcare workers doing their best but the system feels broken to people living it.
The Local Club YEG just opened in HUB Mall off the University LRT station. It's a retail space run by local Albertan small business owners, artists, and U of A students — everything from jewellery and clothing to local treats and unique gifts. HUB is open to the public, not just students, so easy to check out.
someone's car insurance jumped 36% to $5k per year for two vehicles after two speeding tickets over the past two years — one car has no collision coverage, both are 10 years old, zero claims or accidents otherwise — and every other quote in the city came back over $6k. r/edmonton's wondering what happened to insurance in this province.
forecasts are saying this winter will be way warmer than normal because of a super El Niño — but edmonton has a track record of making weather forecasters look silly, so residents are cautiously optimistic but not betting the farm on it.
Last Chinatown After Dark of the year is this Saturday from 6 to 11 p.m. — the organizing team says this month's event will be different, so check what's new before you head down.
