Hi guys, my birthday is coming up and this year I wanna do something that my family used to do back home. We used to organize food for an orphanage, and I want to do a similar thing this year. How could I do this? What are the logistics here? What I had in mind was distributing food to the homeless, has anyone done that? If someone can help me figure this out, that would be great.

Have a 100 year old house and looking to replace the balusters on the stairs. Any recommends outside contacting mill companies and larger companies for referrals? Thanks!

I (25F) woke up yesterday with excruciating pain my right side of my face and jaw. I realized my gums are completely swollen and I’m having trouble swallowing and speaking. My trouble is I work retail and I forgot to reapply for Canadian Dental Plan. I applied immediately yesterday but it’s going to take some time for plan to get approved. I got my antibiotics through a doctor on rocket doctor. But, he insisted I should go to the dentist today. I’m just very worried about the cost of it all. I would really appreciate some advice. I feel like I’ve hit the wall.

A federal appeal board has upheld a decision to deny a St. Albert murderer’s request to leave jail to visit family.

The Appeal Division of the Parole Board of Canada issued a decision Oct. 2, 2026, on an appeal filed by former St. Albert resident Mark Twitchell.

Twitchell is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder in the 2008 killing of John Brian “Johnny” Altinger. Twitchell posed as a woman on a dating site to lure Altinger to a garage in south Edmonton.

He later struck Altinger with a metal pipe, stabbed him, dismembered his body, and dumped it in a sewer.

Twitchell’s trial drew international attention due in part to his apparent obsession with Dexter, a TV show about a serial killer.

Hello,

My client is new to Edmonton and is a male looking for:

“full body bath and scrub plus oil and massage if possible. In Arabic we called it Ama'Am usually men wash men and women-women wash each others. I don't know if I can get all those packages in one place”?

He is downtown and takes ETS. Any suggestions?
Thank you 🙏

hey; i need opinions on centre high campus. My sister is going there next semester and i wanna know how the teachers and environment is. She’s an introvert and requires accommodation as well. Are students friendly enough? She also has an option to do her courses online with metro continuing education but she chooses to go in person.

Ok guys so I am being wonder woman this halloween and my corset is not coming in on time because amazon said it’s still in China 😭 Soooo if anyone this Friday is being wonder woman and is not wearing it on Saturday, please let me rent it/buy it from you… PLEASEEEEE help a girl out im desperate😔🧍

I just wanted to give a shout out and share my experience. We ordered off Uber eats from 7 Kitchens Restaurant. It was 18$ for a combo plate, so we didnt really expect much but wow.!! Honestly some of the best Chinese food we have had in a long long time. The food waa fresh, hot, the chicken for the lemon chicken was super crispy and delicious. And the portion size was awesome. Im going to be able to have 3rds. It's a must try for sure

I am considering a part time job to help pay down my student loan (& other debts) faster because I'm on a consolidated debt program now..

Anyways, looking for any advice or what other's experience has been trying to find a P/T job while working full-time in their career! Did you face major barriers due to scheduling of your full time position? Were you questioned about why you want a pt job?

I have experience in retail and hospitality when I was in high school and uni (about 8 years of experience), have been working in my professional career for about 6 years now as well.

That's certainly not a sticker I expected to see on a bus.

I'm in Montreal this week and tried to hop on the bus this afternoon after walking around for 13ish KM today to head back downtown to my hotel. I assumed that because ETS finally had tap on and off with your debit/CC on the busses, just like I used in Vancouver earlier this year too.

NOPE. Buses only accept tap for the OPUS card, which is there ARC card. Exact change only for the bus tickets. I was floored. I know we give ETS a lot of shit, and the ARC card and POS tap took what felt like forever after they installed the devices on the busses, but hey, we're ahead of Montreal!

Let's see your furry (and non-furry) friends.

Post a photo (or two) with their names!

So it will be my first purchase of this product ever and I'm looking for some recommendations on an electric one, price range about 200-300$ if anyone has any suggestions of a decent one for that price range that would be great. I'm tired of shoveling my driveway 😂

Was wondering if anyone knows what is going on with ARTS Senior Rescue? There have been complaints for several months about people not receiving merch etc that they purchased or bid on. I stopped donating about 8 months ago after hearing about this and I noticed their social media was constantly just posts asking for money but never any information or photos of intakes, fosters and adoptions. When I asked for a donation receipt, they never got back to me despite reaching out many times. Someone on reddit said rhey also were no longer registered as a charity.

Last week, they announced they were closing down and had parted ways with the president. They also provided information on a police file.

I assume there was fraud happening, but I am curious how bad it was and what happened. It is so very sad because for many years they did incredible work... I actually applied for a dog with them and was super impressed with the volunteers at the time.

So, I watch Family Feud every weeknight at 7 and 7:30 on Citytv Edmonton (CKEM) through Rogers Xfinity TV. Even though I'm not watching on an antenna, whenever the weather's not perfect, there are video glitches all the time (and, yes, it's happened to me tonight which is why I'm making this post). CBC (CBXT), Global (CITV) and CTV (CFRN)'s signals are still fine (there's still dropouts and decreases in video quality but that's because every goddamn cable box is IPTV now)
These aren't the glitches I know are cable glitches, these have to be signal glitches. I don't get it.

My partner and I moved to Edmonton in 2023 from Ontario and are still working on building a social circle here. Since we didn't get invited to any Halloween parties this year, we're hoping to find something public to do instead.

This is also our last Halloween in our 20s, so we'd love to make it a memorable one rather than spending the night at home. We're open to pretty much anything: costume parties, pub crawls, haunted attractions, live music, themed events, or any other Halloween activities worth checking out.

We'll likely be dressing up as Carl and Donut from Dungeon Crawler Carl, so bonus points if it's the kind of place where people actually appreciate a good costume.

For those who know the city better than we do, what are the must-do Halloween events in Edmonton? Any annual traditions, hidden gems, or places you'd recommend for two relative newcomers?

Does anyone have experiences with Dr. Qurban Shaikh or Dr. Hina Baidar at Hys Centre Medical Clinic? Or can anyone recommend an excellent doctor for someone with chronic neck & back pain and degenerative disc disease? My doctor is nice but she is not very proactive, I have been the one driving my medical care basically and telling her what I need, instead of her just doing it herself. I had an X-ray showing degenerative discs c5-c6. I told her I need an MRI after the X-ray, she said it's not necessary that it "wouldn't show anything more", what ?? I also had to push to be referred to the pain clinic and set me up with pain injections. She has prescribed me different muscle relaxants that do nothing. When I research the muscle relaxants she prescribed they are not for my specific type of pain. I have been doing all my own research and she just doesn't offer me any new information and I have to tell her what I need...I have learned everything about my situation on my own research. I want a doctor who is going to be proactive.

Hello Edmontonian, I came to Edmonton in August to finalize my PR. I have just got my first PR card, and I am also very happy that I caught the summer in Edmonton. I like it!

Back in August, since I was not sure how long I would stay here, I signed a short-term lease with a landlord for three months, from Sept 1st to Nov 30th, and the place written on the lease is address A.

The place was supposed to be ready by Sept 1st but it was not. There was some renovation work going on. I was then assigned to address B, which is another property of the same landlord. I was told place A would be available on Oct 1st. But on Oct 1st it's still not ready, because the work needs even more time. Actually as of today the work is still not finished. It looks indefinite.

At last, I l have lived in address B for almost two months (Sept 1st - Oct 27th).

I carefully read the lease. It does not say anything about alternative accommodation in case the intended address is not available for any reason.

Now I decided to move out by Oct 31 and find myself another place. I really don't like B because it's on the street and noisy (97 St north of Kingsway, multiple car accidents recently if you have heard). The point is, at the beginning I picked place A for its more convenient location and its being quiet.

Anyway, here is the disagreement. I have paid 2 months' rent plus 1 month's deposit. The landlord said I still own her one month's rent for Nov. The landlord threatened to file to court if I don't pay. I honestly don't agree because I was not given the place originally written on the lease, and I even think she should return (at least part of) the deposit. It's not a lot of money. But I feel I was treated disrespectfully.

I don't know very well the tenant-landlord rules here. So, simple questions,

(1) Do I really own the 3rd month's rent to the landlord?

(2) Am I in a position to ask for the deposit? I mean ask for it to be considered as it normally be (deduct property damage et. al.), or the landlord has the right to keep it all?

Thanks for reading this!

Edit1: Some comments enlightened me about the deposit. Since no move in inspection was performed for either place, it seems I am in a position to ask for returning the deposit in full. This is probably independent from the landlord's argument about the 3rd month's rent.
