- City Hall will be quiet for the remainder of the month as Council and its committees are on summer break. When the Councillors return next month, it will be a busy session as deliberations will begin on a new four-year budget. We’ll be bringing you some more information about the budget in the coming weeks - stay tuned!
- The Pope is coming to Alberta and taxpayers are footing the bill. In addition to approximately $20 million from the Province and $35 million from the federal government, the City of Edmonton is contributing $1 million in-kind. This includes the use of Commonwealth Stadium for the Papal Mass, but does not include the cost of policing and security.
- KDays is back after a 2-year hiatus. The 10-day festival begins on Friday. Music, fireworks, midway rides, games, and delicious food will fill the Edmonton EXPO Centre & Exhibition Grounds. New features for this year include a strongman competition, a vintage market, and an immersive art exhibit.
