@Krytes42 @PlanEdmonton @stry8993 @oldstrathcona @e_backstrom @pathsforppl @VisionZeroYEG I think it's important to take first things first. Let's agree on the need to make @oldstrathcona safer for pedestrians, cyclists and others at risk from motorists. We can figure out the details later.

This pedestrian-friendly concept of what Whyte Ave could look like would have saved our David from getting killed by a car almost 10 years ago. Let's make Old Strathcona safe. @oldstrathcona @e_backstrom @pathsforppl @VisionZeroYEG

@SarahRyanYEG Sarah, I love your words of remembrance for Janice. In my book there is no greater tribute for a veteran journalist than to be respected as a mentor.

Janice was my court Momma. We have a small but mighty court team in #yegmedia and this incredible lady was the very heart of it. Janice was my mentor, and my friend. She taught me everything I know about court reporting... #yeg 1/x cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

@PurolatorHelp Cannot believe you would have this motto for your crappy service. My package is "delayed by weather" when there was no inclement weather, then delayed by "delay in transit" once it's already on the truck. The truth is you need to hire more damn workers. 😤

@PurolatorHelp Under the heading of "Why would anyone use Purolator?" Where do I mail or email a complaint where a real person will see it. #worstcourierever

A great video tour of an airplane close to my heart. I spent a couple of years inside Daisy Mae as part of the restoration crew.

We are not the only ones working to save one of Canada's last British Commonwealth Air Training Plan hangars. Read what they are doing in Brandon, Man to save Hangar 1. @AbAvMuseum #history #aviation #edmonton #Yeg

It was great to see the Alberta Aviation Museum full - for the first time in three years - to mark Remembrance Day. We have hosted this service for almost 30 years. Let's hope the city will let us hold it for another 30.youtu.be/V-qzSuO1pzs

@savehangar14 @AbAvMuseum I had the great honour to interview Owen Cornish before he died, once for CBC and later for an Oral History. "The reason Her Majesty never visits me is because I banged up so many of her aircraft," he used to say about surviving four crashes unharmed. @AbAvMuseum #RemembranceDay

On Remembrance Day we speak with Jim Cornish about his dad, Owen Cornish, who flew from Hangar 14 with 418 City of Edmonton Squadron in the 50s and Halifax bombers over Europe during the Second World War.

We have lost another one of our valued volunteers. Bruce Ramshaw was a popular interpreter who was not only a walking encyclopedia but had "the gift of the gab." He informed and entertained visitors with his approachable style. Our condolences to his friends and family. #history

Where better to hold a Remembrance Day ceremony than in an original World War II hangar. Let's hope we can continue to host this important event at Hangar 14 for years to come. @AbAvMuseum @CATPMuseum @EdmontonDHS #aviation #History

Raising this much money will not be easy. City needs to step up big time. They signed a 25-year lease, promised to maintain the hangar and now wants to reneg. #aviation #aviationhistory #yegcc @AbAvMuseum @AmarjeetSohiYEG @edmonton_anne
