Joseph Simons 🍁 🌱<p>From <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TaprootMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaprootMedia</span></a>: Re rezoning "10 acres for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Scandinave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scandinave</span></a> to build a <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NordicSpa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NordicSpa</span></a> by the river valley. The coalition opposes the rezoning due to a failure to consult with the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Treaty6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Treaty6</span></a> Confederacy, council’s decision to waive their <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/top" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>top</span></a>-of-bank policy, and insufficient protection of <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/wetlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wetlands</span></a> and trees. The cost to use the spa will also make it inaccessible to most <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmontonians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmontonians</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/KristineKowalchuk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KristineKowalchuk</span></a> wrote."</p><p><a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-edmonton-council-breaks-city-policies-in-nordic-spa-rezoning?utm_source=Taproot+Edmonton&amp;utm_campaign=52d6b65633-TAPROOTYEG_PULSE_2025_03_20&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_ef1adf0932-52d6b65633-438152299&amp;mc_cid=52d6b65633&amp;mc_eid=2af62197a9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">edmontonjournal.com/opinion/co</span><span class="invisible">lumnists/opinion-edmonton-council-breaks-city-policies-in-nordic-spa-rezoning?utm_source=Taproot+Edmonton&amp;utm_campaign=52d6b65633-TAPROOTYEG_PULSE_2025_03_20&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_ef1adf0932-52d6b65633-438152299&amp;mc_cid=52d6b65633&amp;mc_eid=2af62197a9</span></a></p>
Joseph Simons 🍁 🌱<p>"Gretzky knows of Trump's intent to annex his home country but continues to support him. If you feel as betrayed as I do, please consider signing this petition to change the name of <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WayneGretzky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WayneGretzky</span></a> Drive to something else. What new name? <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TerryFox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryFox</span></a> Drive or Joey Moss Drive were great suggestions I've heard, but there can be another <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/petition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>petition</span></a> to decide the name. The point of this petition is to catch <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/YEGCityCouncil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YEGCityCouncil</span></a>'s attention on how important this is to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmontonians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmontonians</span></a>."</p><p><a href="https://chng.it/VC9jqxzHT6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">chng.it/VC9jqxzHT6</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@IPEdmonton" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>IPEdmonton</span></a></span> I never really understood “broadcast only” accounts. To me, the joy of the Other Place was interacting with people, was being in conversation with <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmontonians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmontonians</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Albertans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Albertans</span></a> about our community. And I never wanted to speak just to other journalists. I wanted to engage with all kinds of people. That’s what I will miss most - that network of relationships, built and nurtured since 2009.</p>
Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Back in 2013 - in response to some ugly public debates in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a> about community safety - I created <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yegquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegquest</span></a>, a sort of digital scavenger hunt that challenged <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmontonians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmontonians</span></a> to solve clues &amp; chase a papier mâché chicken named <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Henday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Henday</span></a> to 12 mystery spots around <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a>, and take and post photos of themselves where Henday the Hen had been. It was a huge hit - and even won a national award for the Edmonton Journal. <a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/yegquest-thats-a-wrap-a-chicken-wrap" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">edmontonjournal.com/news/local</span><span class="invisible">-news/yegquest-thats-a-wrap-a-chicken-wrap</span></a></p>
