missing heritage


There should be an Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque here. Where is it?

There should be one here too.

This is the old Great Western Garment Company factory, and the site of a designated National Historic Event of Canada called "Chartering of Local 120 of the United Garment Workers of America at the Great Western Garment Company National Historic Event" but there is no plaque (yet?) and I wonder if I'm the only person who could possibly care? And I do care! And I want to go inside and look around!!!!

North Saskatchewan River through Edmonton


I put in at this drainage area by Fort Edmonton Park. It was a nice place to set up the boat.

The iconic High Level Bridge

and another cool bridge where I could see the cars overhead

I had to get out of the way of a tourist boat coming up through the downtown stretch of the river

Edmonton Gurdwaras


Edmonton is home to four large and impressive Gurdwaras
