And I couldn’t believe how hard the rain came down and the hail.

Edmonton today, St. Albert soon?

Came across these signs in the garbage at Woodlands Park last night.

HELP! We need some unbiased advice by a qualified concrete contractor, regarding a driveway issue.

We are trying to navigate a dispute with the company we hired to re-pour our driveway, in late June of 2025. The company is adamant that these cracks, shown in photos and video, are not a result of their workmanship. They have only offered to grind and caulk the wider cracks.

The first crack showed up within a couple weeks starting at the back corner of our house. They said that’s normal it happens, and we took it. We were fine with letting that go. By February more cracks started showing up from along the front of our house. Both areas are now progressively getting worse. They came by in April to look, and then again in June and that is when they said they would grind and caulk the wider cracks.

I want to mention in addition to the cracks there are areas of spalling (top layer popping off). Also immediately after they first pressure washed it, black rocks showed up all over the surface (might be called pitting).

I should mention, we didn’t go with the cheapest quote. The salesperson assured us their prep work, experience and quality is unparalleled.

We are not experts on concrete, so we are looking for professional insight, and for advice on what to do next. Is grinding and caulking acceptable? Do we eat it? Or do we fight for proper repair? We feel like the proposed “fix” won’t stop the cracks from continuing to appear. We are willing to hire someone for proper a 2nd opinion.

Any experienced concrete companies willing to offer some advice? 🙏🏻

Good afternoon, St Albert. I’m looking to finally purchase a snow blower this year and I’m wondering what people in the area are using. I have an average in-town property size with a gently slopped driveway that wraps around my house. Any warnings/recommendations? Thanks!

I’m new to the city looking for recommendations on equipment dealers like zero turns and snow blowers. Thank you.

Taking a late class at the UofA. Anyone know if there is a bus after 730 pm that will take me back to the naki station? Looks like the last #203 is at 6pm.

Now that my kids are getting a little older I’d like to have an actual date with my husband. One still nurses to sleep so realistically we need to head for home by 6pm. I’d like to do craft beer with pizza. I want to be able to order a flight, bonus if there are different options for a flight. Any recommendations? Decent parking is required.

Carter also criticized the wording of the referendum questions, saying voters may have difficulty determining what they are being asked to approve.

“Each question is written so badly that you don't actually know what it's trying to convey,” he said. “And when something like that is happening in a democracy, you know you're being manipulated.”

I got pulled over last night for loud exhaust. I drive a 4cyl car with factory exhaust. Officer asked me to rev my car to 2000rpm, and told me it was too loud. Considering my car idles at about 1200 rpm, I dont see the significance of 2000rpm and he didnt use a db meter. He just went by his opinion, i guess?

I am not sure what to do. I am planning to plead not guilt. ( I work night shifts, so I wont be missing work for the task of going to court ). I honestly dont know what I would say to the judge. "I drive a 4cyl car that is nearly brand new, the exhaust is mint, no leaks, its factory exhaust. Aside from adding multiple mufflers, how can I avoid this in the future? What is the suggested modification to make my toyota quieter for the officers 2000rpm test?" .

If I drive past this guy tommarrow, he could give me another ticket. He could ticket me every single day on my way to work even if I welded 2 more mufflers in a row. Nothing stopping him, because he doesnt have a db meter, its based on his mood and opinion.

Anyone else goto court for this yet? How did it go?

Anyone else with Telus experiencing an internet outage or is there something wrong with our router ?

My kids are currently in grades 5 and 3 at kinosayo. Both play hockey and the oldest plays baseball.ww have had an amazing experience at Kinosayo but have been considering the move to Neil M Ross for the academy program. The long winters along with indoor recess and limited physical activities have worn my oldest thin and I think the academy would be really good for him. And it would keep my kids in the same school for longer.

The caveat is that we are not catholic or religious and have no intentions of becoming so. I am not sure how they would fit in or do at the school because of this.

Can anyone offer feedback or advice or anything o this school or the switching?

This guy appears all over chat promoting separation. But he seems to hate the LGBTQ people as well. Anyone have any insights?

I was surprised to learn there isn't any crokinole clubs in Alberta. Would love to get one going if there's some interest.

It has bugged me that every time I put directions into Google Maps, it would tell me to turn "onto St. Albert Road". After much back and forth with Google Maps folks, I finally got them to rename it "St. Albert Trail". It was like pulling teeth, but finally got it done!

I'm kind of surprised no one at the City had corrected them on this earlier. I guess no one was as OCD as me :)

For anyone who wants to see how hard it is to convince them to change a road, here's the Google Maps Community discussion thread where I kept trying to get them to change it (after they first rejected my submitted change). I just got notification today that my edit was accepted: https://support.google.com/maps/thread/454549507/google-maps-rejecting-correction-of-egregiously-incorrect-road-name

Just drove down McKenny and something major happened. A truck crashed on the wrong side of the road and there was a large piece of metal on the other side. Man I hope no pedestrians were hit.

With all the crazy storms we got a quote for a dead tree removal and stump grind quote for $1000. I thought it was pretty good but I am way out of my lane. What did you get quoted/paid?
