I love this city, and I know that we can help #YEGDT reach its full potential through collaborative efforts. Home is where the heart is, and together, we can build an Edmonton for all of us. ❤️
See you downtown! #YEG#YEGcc

The City’s extreme weather response will remain in effect until August 22 or until the weather improves. If you see someone in need of help in the heat: call 911 for emergencies; #JustCall211 + 3 for 24/7 Crisis Diversion team.
