What’s trending, Edmonton?

One of the biggest deals is coming tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 16, with $9.95 admission to Galaxyland Powered by Hasbro, $9.95 lane rentals at Ed’s Bowling, and $9.95 races at DRIVE for one day only.
Finally, summer is coming… in September
If you can even believe it, according to Environment Canada, this week ahead of us will be one of the only ones in the past few months without any rain.
On Saturday and Sunday, Edmonton will even be seeing a high of 24°C alongside crisp, cool nights with lows of 9°C and 8°C.
