Independently written reference guides for living in and visiting Edmonton. Each guide explains how a civic system or service actually works, and links to the official source for details that change.
How Edmonton 311 works, why the online service request portal matters as much as the phone line, and how to prepare a report that gets acted on in a northern winter city.
How Edmonton Transit Service combines LRT lines with a large bus network, why the LRT is a backbone rather than the whole system, and how to plan trips in deep winter.
The authoritative Edmonton sources for city services and transit, how lookalike sites exploit civic searches, and why this guide links out instead of freezing values.
How Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River valley trail network is organised, how to use it in summer and winter, and the river and ice safety rules that apply to everyone.
How Edmonton collects garbage, recycling, food scraps and yard waste, how to find your collection day, and where to take items that the curb will not accept.
How Edmonton prioritises snow clearing, how major-roadway and residential parking bans work, how bans are announced, and how to check the status of your own street.
