#YEG summers are too short as it is, and I want everyone to be able to enjoy them for longer than two months! That’s why I will be reaching out to City administration to see if we can open our outdoor pools earlier to the public this year. Thanks for your feedback, everyone! 🌊
The @CityofEdmonton is only opening outdoor pools this summer for two months because of budget cuts. @OCLYEG has had to fight almost every budget cycle to keep our outdoor pool open, and in 2020, I decided to compare #yeg to other cities in Canada 🧵

@CityofEdmonton Also how do I find out more info about the "financial pressures of the pandemic". How is this defined specifically? All the outdoor pools were closed for summer 2020 and not all reopened for summer 2021.
@emilyjaneriddle Hi, we're definitely eager to welcome everyone back into outdoor pools this summer. This year's outdoor pool season runs from July 1 to August 31. This season's schedule continues to reflect budget adjustments made in 2020 in response to the financial pressures of the pandemic.
@CalmConference Any one else having problems logging in to Sched? No probs yesterday but today it's saying I'm not registered as an attendee?! GAH. Thanks for any tips! #LibCALM
Tired of reading books on a screen? Finding the EPL closure a real slobberknocker to the coconuts? Little Free Library in Strathearn has some great titles on offer. @StrathearnCL
We are disappointed with the UCP’s removal of the Summer Temporary Employment Program (STEP).
We used this program in the past to pay for green shack leaders for the @CityofEdmonton’s summer Green Shack program for kids. #ableg
Featuring over 300 local artists and companies, @strathearnart is a fabulous place to shop local. Will you be there this Saturday? #edmontonmade#yeg https://t.co/yEL1NR4SGK

Hey @WiredCup, it was great to hear your voice at the @StrathearnCL @transedlrt meeting today. Our family has been there since your beginning and we will continue to stand by you and our neighbourhood businesses. You are everything Strathearn. Thanks
Stay 'n Play and Pancakes was a great success yesterday morning!!
50 pancakes served and not a single paper plate, styro cup or plastic fork were harmed.
Thanks to the Strathearn Community Garden folk (and other neighbourhood donors) for providing plates, cutlery, utensils etc.
I hate to do this to you #YEG, but here's some more of the Central Branch of the Edmonton Public Library from shortly before demolition, 1968 (A204, A208, A214, and A222). #yegheritage
