- EIA has been receiving numerous requests for information the City Centre Airport, so they posted a fact sheet this week.

- The #twilightYEG charity event takes place on Wednesday at Hundred Bar & Kitchen downtown.
- Friday is the deadline to register for the Youth Emergency Shelter Society’s Homeless for a Night event, which takes place on June 12th.
