I was happy to join today’s celebration of Edmonton’s declaration of the Black-billed Magpie as the city’s honorary bird, and encourage people to explore Matthew James Weigel’s art installation The Magpie and the Buffalo Treaty, at EPCOR’s Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Taken close to Edmonton's River, I love the super hero pose.

Did you know a male squirrel can actually smell a female in heat from up to a mile away? Amazing right?

⁦@YEGwindshield⁩ & I were joined by our kids & nephew (& of course our pup Cooper) for a walk in the river valley today. If you don’t think Edmonton is beautiful, you really should go on the many trails in the river valley. If you did you’d change your mind. #Yeg #walk

The fossil of a sturgeon that lived 72 million years was found by a group of hikers in Edmonton's River Valley. This sturgeon is the first new species of fish named in Edmonton.
