Seat of political power. Great place to cool off in summer.
Welcome to the edmontonian.
the edmontonian comes from the old idea that you can do anything you put your mind to. It also comes from the new idea that the Internet (among other advancing technologies) allows you to have publishing power at your fingertips.
I’m inspired by great local news coverage. I’ve been a reporter in Edmonton and other Canadian cities, and it’s almost always the best in local news that sticks in my memory. It’s also my opinion that news staff (my reporter self included) can do more to inform and educate, especially on local events. That’s where Sally and I hope to bring something to the table.
It’s my hope this website will become a first stop for Edmonton events (everything from arts and sports to City council meetings) and a generator of Edmonton stories. It should be a record of interesting (and everyday) Edmontonians. Head to our contact page to let us know what you think, what you’re up to and what we should be talking about.
The great thing about the web is that, even if those things come true, the Edmonton discussion can happen in multiple places all at once. Immediately, I would ask you to join the discussion on Twitter. While the edmontonian.com isn’t driving that conversation, I encourage you to join and debate everything from the City Centre Airport and road construction to the Oilers and what this city will look like in the future. You can also follow us at twitter.com/theedmontonian.
Local still matters. Be a part of our conversation.
