THIS WEEK IN EDMONTON

  • This morning, at 9:30 am, there will be a City Council Public Hearing. Up for discussion are several zoning amendments, including a proposal to close a portion of 156 St in Chapelle to turn it into a pedestrian right of way, and to create new high-density housing and a public park in Queen Mary Park.
  • On Tuesday, there will be an Agenda Review Committee meeting at 8:30 am followed by a City Council meeting at 9:30 am. On the agenda at the Council meeting are several bylaws, including one that would authorize the City of Edmonton to borrow $240.5 million to undertake, construct, and finance Light Rail Vehicle Replacements and another to authorize the borrowing of $53 million for Climate Resilient City Facility Upgrades. If the meeting does not conclude on time, there will be a continuation on Wednesday at 9:30 am.
  • If you're looking for things to do with the kids this Easter weekend, there are quite a few free or low-cost activities happening. Easter egg hunts are taking place at Kiwi Nurseries in Acheson and on McGrath Campus. There is also a Choral Concert taking place on Good Friday at Robertson-Wesley United Church, if that is your preferred way to celebrate.
