Here are my weekly Edmonton notes:
- The intersection of 102A Avenue and 99th Street will be closed for the duration of the summer festival season. I think it should be closed year-round.
- ETS announced this week that you can now purchase monthly passes using AIR MILES. One monthly pass will cost you 650 AIR MILES.
- The 2009 Municipal Census data is now available! Edmonton grew by 30,000 people to 782,439.
- ICLEI World Congress Edmonton 2009 starts tomorrow! My guide to the event is here. Be sure to check out That’s Edmonton For You!
- Edmonton Foodie Meetup 2 is taking place on June 26th – details and sign up here.
- Recently in Metro: Five things to love about Edmonton.
- Ten outstanding Edmontonians were inducted into the City of Edmonton’s Hall of Fame this week.
- The Edmonton Startup Index for June is now available at Techvibes. Nexopia continues to top the list.
- Great article at C2E on the Edmonton Public Library: Aiming High, Reaching Out, and Doing Good.
- There’s an open house tomorrow at 6pm for ENTS, the Edmonton New Technology Society, who are working to provide a collaborative and social technology workspace in our city (I’ll be writing more about them later). Details here.
