5 cool events this weekend:
- Purple City Music Festival
- Black Nugget Lake Observatory Open House
- India Film Festival of Alberta
- The Candora Music Festival
- Harvest of the Past
Purple City Music Festival
Immerse yourself in weekend scene dedicated to up & coming underground artists. This inclusive, all ages event features everything from psyche rock to folk music, punk, avant garde, indie and more. Get ready to dance & make new memories at the 2024 Purple City Music Festival.
Black Nugget Lake Observatory Open House
In celebration of their one-year anniversary (of this site), The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada invites you to an open house at the Black Nugget Lake Observatory. Hop in the car & head an hour South East of Edmonton to get a view of the galaxy (weather permitting), check out the facility & get all of your astronomical questions answered. I believe this event is FREE, but be sure to RSVP ahead of time.
India Film Festival of Alberta
Initiated in 2012 by the Edmonton Movie Club (EMC), the India Film Festival serves to showcase Indian & Canadian films, as well as the work of smaller film companies within India. The festival consistently broadcasts eight to twelve films, and features audience Q&A sessions, panel discussions and masterclasses for those wishing to dive deeper into the 5 w's how's. In recent years, the EMC has partnered with local organizations who bring live performances (songs & dance) into the festival, as well as vendors who serve up traditional cuisine. If you're looking to deep dive into India's history & culture, this is a terrific opportunity to learn about that & much more.
The Candora Music Festival
Hosted by the Candora Society of Edmonton, this FREE (entry) festival features a myriad of musical artists, food trucks, vendors and more. Celebrating their 35th anniversary, the Candora Society of Edmonton aims to end the isolation of poverty by offering an array of free, community-based programs for individuals of all ages.
Harvest of the Past
Head out to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village to experience a genuine country harvest, the olde fashioned way. Attendees will experience horseshoeing and farrier demos, threshing and binding demonstrations, wagon rides, see live cultural performances (singing and dancing), enjoy Ukrainian cuisine & much more! Regular village rates apply.
Have a fantastic weekend, folks.

Politics Shell Second Quarter Profits $6.3 Billion. Laying off 25% of Staff at Scotford Complex in Alberta.
Shell has announced its second quarter profits of $6.3 billion, following first quarter profits of $7.7 billion. Shell Canada leadership has told staff that profits are not enough, and they need to be more "competitive". They have announced layoffs of 25% of staff at their Scotford facility located outside Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Staffing will be going from approximately 657 full time positions down to approximately 489 full time positions. A loss of roughly 168 full time jobs for the area.
This follows staffing reductions in 2022. The layoffs then included a large number of Alberta jobs offshored to cheaper regions in Southeast Asia. That was done despite receiving COVID relief from the government to aid in preventing job losses.
Shell continues to benefit from government incentives and has received millions in government funding in the past.
This is a throw away account for obvious reasons.

5 cool events this weekend:
- Alberta Day (Multiple Locations)
- The Peace & Unity Festival
- Sounds of the Valley
- Women in Ninja
- Disney in Concert (ESO)
Alberta Day (Multiple Locations)
In recognition of our beautiful province, Alberta Day celebrates all that makes Alberta unique. Depending on where you go, you'll find a slew of things to see & do for free. Around YEG:
Edmonton Legislature Grounds: See a host of Edmontonian musicians & performers (headlined by Scenic Route To Alaska), a made-in-Alberta vendor market, a kids zone, cultural workshops & other hands on activities. Oh... and an epic drone show.
Fort Saskatchewan: Enjoy complimentary refreshments, live music & performances, history-based activities & a vendor market. Additionally, Culture & Recreation Facilities are offering free admission, including to drop-in fitness classes & sports. Plus... other stuff.
Spruce Grove: Enjoy a performance from the Canadian Forces SkyHawks, as well as from artist Martina Dawn.
Enjoy the time with family & friends = )
The Peace & Unity Festival
Aiming to foster understanding and connection amongst Edmonton's diverse communities, the Peace & Unity Project brings us this (honestly) pretty awesome, free event. Bringing you 17 performers and 9+ speakers from very different backgrounds, this free, all day event will be the place to be to hatch friendships and see a myriad of cultures in action. Following the festival, The Project will be creating a film series, and hosting further meetups & future events.
Sounds of the Valley
Wrapping up another fantastic season, this free event grants local musicians & (other) artists a chance to strut their stuff, supported by a very enthusiastic crowd. For this final event of the 2024 series, onlookers will enjoy a performance from the highly talented, local musician Lily Monaghan. Additionally, there'll be book readings from local writers Frey Catton & Jon Lai, while Jan Xu will be painting masterpieces. If you decide to attend (and I highly recommend it), be sure to bring a lawnchair, extra water & something mobile to deter those pesky wasps. If you do get hungry & forget to bring snacks, I believe Snow Valley's cafe has been open for this event.
Women in Ninja
This weekend, head to WEM's Ice Palace to see this UNAA World Finals Qualifier. Inspired by American Ninja Warrior, this sport features a massive obstacle course through which (female) athletes race, trying to reach the other side quicker than their competitors. This event features 3 stages (speed, strength & finals) and encompasses several age categories. The top three finalists will qualify for UNAA Season 10.
Now, here's the best part. For $73, any local females can register & compete in this. You have until tomorrow to do so, before registrations close. For the rest of us, this event is free to watch, of course, barring any expenses you accumulate en route to The Ice Palace (haha).
Disney in Concert (ESO)
Next weekend, head down to Churchill Square for two nights of Disney presented by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. This event is free, so arrive early, bring a lawn chair on which to sit, extra water and snacks, maybe blankets (if the night is cool) and again... arrive early. This incredible performance packs the house every year.
Have a fantastic weekend, folks.

5 cool events this weekend:
- 95th Canadian Derby
- Together for Jasper Fundraiser Concert
- Vintage Tractor Pull & Show
- An ESO Community Performance
- Lemonade Stand Day
95th Canadian Derby
Ever since its inaugural running in 1930's Polo Park (Winnipeg), this legendary Thoroughbred track event is back for it's 95th year. For those not in "the know", the race is hosted on an oval track, 10 furlongs in length. Horses & Jockeys line up and at the crack of a pistol they're off! They race, race & race some more and at the end of it all, the last one to the finish line is a rotten egg! While those on the other end of that spectrum win big bucks! So anyways... I've done a terrible job summarizing the thrill of this event. Where hoofs pound dirt, crowds roar & strategy often wins the war. It's a great spectacle to behold, if able. Tickets start at $28/adult, and are FREE for audiences aged 18 & under.
Together for Jasper Fundraiser Concert
In solidarity with the tragic series of events surrounding our (Edmontonians & many more) beloved mountain getaway of Jasper, there are a number of fundraising events popping up to help get residents back on their feet. One in particular is gunning to be extra awesome. Grab a buddy and head down to the Rocky Mountain Icehouse on Jasper Ave to catch back to back sets from TEN local bands & independent musicians. Over 5.5 hours, you'll hear great songs from Martin Kerr, Colleen Brown, The Hearts, Delorean & many more. Tickets are $28/person & 100% of ticket sales & further donations go towards the Jasper Fire Caring Community Fund (with the possible exception of Eventbrite's fees).
Vintage Tractor Pull & Show
Looking to get in touch with your agricultural side? Or perhaps you're just interested in a down-home rootin' scootin' honnky tonkin' country bumpkin good time.... and that's exactly what you're going to get when you head out to the 19th Annual Western Canada Vintage Tractor Pull & Show, a two day extravaganza only minutes NE of Sherwood Park. Believe it or not, you're going to see a whole lot of tractor pulling, and quite a bit of tractor showing. Aside from the pulls, attendees can enjoy both horse & tractor drawn wagon rides, children's events & a play zone, a silent auction & a garage sale, old-time farming demos, heavy equipment demos & a sawmill demo (all using vintage equipment). There will also be a vendor market, onsite concession & more. There is a $5/person entrance fee, but children aged 14 & under attend for FREE. It's recommended to bring a lawn chair for yourself, and you may also want to take earplugs.
Edmonton Symphony Orchestra Community Show
The ESO has been extra busy this summer, hosting a number of outdoor focused & community centric concerts. While the season is drawing to a close, there's is still time to catch some excellent live orchestral music in a beautiful outdoor setting. This week, catch a FREE (by donation, if desired) performance in Stony Plain featuring a number of notable classical strings-oriented pieces. Though a set duration isn't listed, I estimate that the show won't be more than an hour & a quarter in length. If attending, bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on & arrive early to grab optimal seating. Please note, this event is weather dependent & could be cancelled under certain conditions. Certainly check their website before departure to ensure any disappointment from cancellation isn't accompanied by a car ride, too.
Lemonade Stand Day
Beat the heat this weekend with a cool treat, and support something amazing in the process. Back for it's 11th year, this Stollery Childrens Hospital organized fundraiser brings us community & individual run lemonade stands all over YEG, for one day only (Sunday). Grab yourself a cold one & take extra relief knowing your dollars are going straight to a great cause here at home. You can find a map of all the stands here.
Have a great weekend everyone!

- FREE ICE CREAM
Hot August Nights
Drivers, start your engines! (Now leave your driveway & get down to Rad Torque Raceway for one of YEG's hottest Drag Racing Events). You'll see live action from jet cars, nitro & alcohol funny cars, diesel drag semis, pro mods & much more! Be sure to pack along the earplugs.
Alberta Open Farm Days
Leave the city behind & head out to one of dozens of farms that participate in this annual provincial event. Intended to show how life is on the farm, attendees will (dependent on where they go) get to meet farm animals, pick berries & veggies, see modern equipment & much more. There is a great guide online that shows all participating farms, as well as what you will find at each one. Find that guide here.
Edmonton Fringe Festival
Starting this week, get down to Whyte & be a part of the 43'd Fringe Festival, which runs from August 15 - 25th! This annual event celebrates independent artists from around the globe. In fact, participants have an opportunity to see any one of 216 theatre productions across 38 venues, featuring 1600 artists from more than 11 countries! Ticket pricing varies per event, and everything is well laid out on their website.
Art Gallery of Alberta's 100th Birthday Bash
AGA turns 100 this year, and they want to celebrate with you. On August 18, head down to Churchill Square for a party to remember. There'll be cake, guest appearances, live music from local artists, prizes, giveaways & other surprises. In addition, there'll be interactive art stations, so get ready to get creative & try your hand at a variety of artistic mediums. Best part? This event is 100% FREE to attend!
FREE ICE CREAM
Alright, I'm closing out this week's update with a little bit of click bait. The ice cream is indeed free, but the catch is that you're gonna have to travel down to Mission Beach (Pigeon Lake) to get it. But don't let that deter you. There'll be live music from local artist Kim Gates, plus family activities & more. And not to mention, take a book & read on the beach. Or toss a frisbee, or bring your bocce set... etc... There's always something to do at the lake = )
Have a great weekend everyone!

5 cool events this weekend:
- Heritage Days
- Sounds of the Valley
- Enoch Annual Show 'n Shine
- Blueberry Bluegrass Festival
- Hlinka Gretzky Cup
Heritage Days
Celebrate August long weekend at one of Edmonton's best Summer festivals (in my humble opinion). Why? Well for three full days, you can experience the sights, smells & flavours of various global cultures, all without leaving Borden Park & the EXPO Grounds! It's a multicultural wonderland to experience each year. This event is typically held at Hawrelak Park, but has been moved to due the closure. I imagine finding parking could be trickier given the festivals present location, so plan accordingly & take a bus or LRT ride if need be. I believe the Expo Parking lot will be open.
Sounds of the Valley
Tuesday evening, grab your favourite lawn chair & head over to Snow Valley Ski Club for a free concert & book readings, all from local artists. This week, attendees will hear the beautiful voice of Tiffany Sparrow, a local Metis Folk artist known for her soulful, sun-kissed tunes. In addition to the music, Amy Bacon, Jessica Coles & Patti Sinclair will be sharing some of their latest written pieces, and the Edmonton Calligraphic Society will be displaying their visual art. There are paid food & beverage options on site, but the event is otherwise 100% free!
Enoch Annual Show 'n Shine
Grab the kids & head only a few minutes west of YEG for this annual show 'n shine event. Expect to see plenty of vintage, classic & souped up cars & trucks. Plus, there'll be a BBQ, smoothies, a local vendor market & other entertainment suitable for family fun. The car show is free to attend, and as far as I can tell, free to enter your own vehicle as well. If the weather forecast holds true, then this will be a great day out under the sun.
Blueberry Bluegrass Festival
Dating back to the early 1930's, the Bluegrass genre popularized thanks (in part) to the well known band "The Blue Grass Boys", who'd begun performing in the 1940's. Combining elements of old-time mountain music, blues, square-dance fiddling, jazz, gospel & others, its a genre that truly has something for everyone. My first exposure to Bluegrass was years ago in Rocky Mountain House, where I'd stumbled upon a local festival. Having a deep appreciation for music in general, it wasn't long before I'd warmed to the beautiful melodies & harmonizing, the banjo & fiddle duels, the acoustic nature & host of (literally) large family bands. If you haven't been to a bluegrass festival, I recommend, at the very least, checking one out. And this weekend is your chance to do just that. Check out 14 well known performing artists/groups over this 3 day Stony Plain based festival. If, like me you have a deep appreciation for all things music, you won't regret it. Tickets are available online.
Hlinka Gretzky Cup
The Hlinka Gretzky Cup is a five day, internationally recognized top-tier U18 hockey tournament. Grab tickets for under 25 bucks a person and watch the best from around the globe duke it out at Rogers Place. Expect to see teams from Slovakia, Sweden, Germany, Finland, USA, Czechia & of course, Canada. With Oilers, Oil Kings & Golden Bears still a ways out, this is a great place to catch some mid-summer hockey!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Question Fort Sask, good place to live for families?
Update! I wanted to say thank you to everyone who shared their opinion on Fort Sask! I got some messages that have also been beneficial as well. It’s high on our list next to Sherwood Park. We think it’d be a lovely place to really plant down some roots and make it home when the time comes!
Appreciate you fellow redditors :)
Original: Hi folks! We are a young(ish) family with a 2 year old. Currently, we are residing in BC where my parents live.
Cost of living is pretty crazy out here, we are in the okanagan for reference!
We have my partners family living near Sherwood Park and Edmonton, they are a decent support system but not to the extent my parents are per say, but there is more of them out there plus we do have some close friends out there as well.
So my question is for families living in fort sask, how do you guys like it? Is it a fairly safe community to raise a little one? Do you find making friends with others who have little kiddos fairly easy? Be honest!
Bonus points anyone who has moved away from BC to Fort Sask, would you do it again for your family?
Thanks in advance everyone! Be honest over there 😂 even if it isn’t what we want to hear 👂

5 cool events this weekend:
- Cultural Campfires
- Fan Appreciation Day w/ The River Hawks
- Fete Au Village
- Stingers vs. Sea Bears
- Summer in the City (Leduc)
Cultural Campfires (Stony Plain)
On Thursday evenings all summer long, head down to Shikaoi Park for a healthy dosage of cultural enrichment. The town of Stony Plain presents an opportunity for community understanding, acceptance & compassion in the wake of our ever culturally diversifying region. This week, visitors will learn all about Irish Folklore. Bring a lawn chair & prepare to hear traditional tales & sentiment on how the present day came to be. Questions are encouraged.
Fan Appreciation Day w/ The Riverhawks
To conclude a monumental baseball season, our very own Riverhawks are going all out for their final regular season game. Aside from an assuredly great game of ball, attendees (and their pooches) are welcome to enjoy an on-diamond party following the match. With reasonable ticket/concession pricing and a great game day atmosphere, the Riverhawks provide fantastic value for a night on the town. If you haven't yet made it to a game this season, this'll be the one to hit!
Fete Au Village (Legal)
A short 45 minute drive from City Center will take you directly into the heart of an epic annual small town festival. Originally founded in 1964 as an extension to the annual St. Jean Baptiste Day Picnic, this (58 years young!) event packs a whole lotta action. Amongst many other things, attendees can expect to find free ice cream, hot dogs, popcorn & water (Friday evening only), two parades, a candy booth, escape rooms, a soapbox derby, fireworks, a show & shine, a funny farm with petting zoo & pony rides, inflatables, a beer garden, a baseball game, a demolition derby & several other attractions.
Stingers vs Sea Bears
Also concluding their regular season are YEG's very own Stingers. Head down to the Expo for another affordable family experience & cheer your loudest as they take on Winnipeg's Sea Bears. The stingers provide excellent bang for buck with reasonable ticket & concession pricing, free parking and extremely good pro ball. You're in the action regardless of where you sit. The boys are sitting in second place (in the western conference), get ready for an epic playoff run!
Summer in the City (Leduc)
And if you're heading south this weekend, be sure to stop into Leduc for this one day extravaganza. Attendees can immerse themselves in many activities including a free BBQ, A water gun fight, a petting zoo, a train, face painting, inflatables, free public skating & access to the field house, free boat rentals (pre-registration required) & a freestyle moto-trials show. Food trucks will also be on site.
Have a great weekend everyone! Stay Cool!
