The Tips, the Timeline, and the Top 15 Best Donair Shops in Edmonton By Emil Tiedemann Where is the best donair in the Edmonton region?! It's been the subject of serious (but not really) debate for many years now and there are literally hundreds of options for us spoiled Edmontonians to choose from. In fact, there are more restaurants that offer donairs in Edmonton than any other city in the country, with 212 different locations according to the Yellow Pages  (as of February 2021).  The "Edmonton-style" donair (photo by Athena Gourmet Foods) That's 83 more than Vancouver, which has the second-most amount of eateries that offer donairs (129 according to the Yellow Pages), and well-over double what Halifax, known as "the birthplace of the donair," has to offer (79).

Your guide to understanding Edmonton's new ward names, boundaries, and those running to represent them... By Emil Tiedemann There's a lot happening in Edmonton politics during 2021, from multiple city councillors and the Mayor himself announcing that they would not be running for reelection to the dozens of locals who are tossing their hats in the ring to be a part of City Council this October. But that's not all that's new for Edmonton in 2021. Our 12 newly amended wards will all be officially renamed, which will come into effect on Monday, October 18 , the date of the next general election.  See who's running... Instead of numbered wards, Edmonton's City Council voted to have the ward titles renamed to  honour sacred places and preserve Indigenous history. A committee made up of 17 women  representing First Nations, Inuit, and Métis  came up with the new names last summer, and the  bylaw approving the new ward boundaries and Indigenous ward names was passed by...
