Rice Howard Way is #yeg's new Entertainment District. That means looser regulations on liquor and more flexibility to host events in the core. Businesses in the area are getting ready for the big change. buff.ly/3RaSxhX

The Stanley Cup finals, sadly for the #Oilers, could end tonight. But, with all those charter flights across the continent, what sort of carbon footprint does the #NHL have? buff.ly/3KL0AP0

TAPYEG is #yeg's first municipal political party. And it plans to run "champions" in each and every ward in 2025. What does the party stand for? #yegcc buff.ly/3VnD4wu

Today, #yegcc will discuss measures that could slow down #yeg's expansion to the south. Is this a short-sighted measure, or good urban planning? Former city councillor Michael Walters warns that the City is on the brink of making a major mistake. buff.ly/4bR08dX

Will #yegcc enact a policy that slows down suburban expansion in the south? Would #yeg's affordability advantage be compromised if this happens? There are lots of viewpoints, but the debate has become more and more politically heated. buff.ly/3KWdABC

The Ortona Armoury has long been a haven for #yeg artists. But, many are unhappy about the changes to their lease agreements that have come with new management. buff.ly/3xsJFh4

After the Oilers came oh so close in the Stanley Cup final, it feels painful that the "City of Champions" debate is back. Or, really, is it the perfect time to have this discussion again? #yeg buff.ly/45IbH51

“If you look at what was our core … there were about 42 businesses. Now we have 17." Those are the words of Todd Janes of the Stony Plain Road Business Association, on the effect that #LRT construction has had on the neighbourhood. #yeg #ETS buff.ly/4bnFnFJ

After #yegcc agreed to a two-year study on the cost of expanding the city further towards the airport, we now know that this issue has been kicked over to Edmonton's next council, that will take office after the 2025 election. buff.ly/3W8YcrS

A task force has been established in #yeg. Its focus? How to make downtown more vibrant. Wait. This headline is from 40 YEARS AGO! Former mayor Jan Reimer talks about the efforts to improve the core back then, and how they mirror what we're doing today. buff.ly/4bEO9iH

The Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 wants to create a health advocacy office for Indigenous patients. Some studies indicate that Indigenous patients are more likely than others to leave emergency wards and urgent-care centres without being treated. #yeg buff.ly/3S5Zm4K

Field Notes makes spirits that have won awards in the United States. But, if you live in B.C., or any other province outside of Alberta, there's no way to get your hands on these bottles. The system of provincial liquor trade is confusing... and maddening. buff.ly/4c2JkA7

If we are serious about tackling the homelessness and addictions crises, we need to start re-thinking about how we transition people from street life. A new Indigenous-led project offers a heck of a lot more than shelter spaces. #yeg buff.ly/3LZWSBF

Wildfires have been a hot topic all summer long throughout #ab. But, is #yeg's own River Valley susceptible to the environmental forces that have made much of the province a tinderbox? #environment buff.ly/3AkRhDx

The announcement is in: Booster Juice is the naming sponsor of the Terwillegar Rec Centre. So what do we call it? The Smoothie Centre? The Big Drink? Expect to see more city facilities get corporate names in the near future, as this story predicted...#yeg buff.ly/4bo8rxi

When it comes to animal shelters in #yeg, there is literally "no room at the inn." How did we get to this point? #pets buff.ly/3yEA5IM

Is Tim Cartmell going to run for mayor? Officially, he is still "undecided," but he's at least beginning to do what a mayoral candidate will need to do ahead of the 2025 vote — distance oneself from the current iteration of #yegcc. #yeg buff.ly/471jpaM
