Here are my weekly Edmonton notes:
- From the City: “When Edmonton’s outdoor pools close at the end of the summer, almost 2 million litres of clean, dechlorinated water will be recycled to irrigate nearby parks rather than being drained into the sanitary sewer system.” Very cool!
- Monday is a holiday, but the rest of the week is going to be busy. DemoCampEdmonton8 takes place on Wednesday, and Twestival Local 2009 takes place on Thursday.
- Lillian Osborne High School is the first big public high school to open in Edmonton in 25 years.
- Movies on the Square is tonight – they are screening UP!
- For more events, be sure to check out Sharon’s fantastic list of September events in Edmonton.
- The City announced recommended routes for the West and Southeast LRT extensions. I wrote about it here and here.
- The Miss dEdmonton contest started September 1st and runs until September 30th. To learn more and to submit your 90 second video, click here.
- From Andy at The Battle of Alberta: Downtown Arena Primer. From today’s Journal: New arena feeds rivalry.
- Registration for Edmonton Code Camp 2009 is now open!
- Will Grant MacEwan College become a university this month?
- About 500 people attended a town hall meeting this week to air concerns about the Alberta Hospital closure.
- The City Centre Market is still open until October 10th! Enjoy it while it lasts!
