I Heart Edmonton

By Emil Tiedemann There happens to be a  Municipal Election  coming up in Edmonton on October 18, 2021, and I think it's important for locals to get to know the City Council candidates running for their particular ward (as well as their Mayoral candidates, of course).  I chose to get more involved in the election this year and so wanted to give each candidate a chance to tell us a little about themselves, their vision, and why you should vote for them. I have sent a 10-question questionnaire to each of  the 2021 Edmonton Municipal Election candidates  and will post their responses  (100% as written)  here as they come in.

By Emil Tiedemann With Alberta opening back up it’s even more important now than ever that we do what we can to support local businesses, because they were clearly hit the hardest during this ongoing pandemic. That’s why I am taking a personal pledge to do my best to spend my money on local as much as possible this summer. That includes local restaurants, breweries, shops, and just about anything else you can think of…even pharmacies!  In fact, I will be getting my second COVID vaccination shot this summer at a growing pharmacy chain that has been serving Edmontonians for nearly 12 years now, since 2009. The first iPharmacy opened its doors that October in the Mill Woods neighbourhood (5708-19A Avenue/ 780-757-3000), but it was soon joined by additional branches in Downtown (10107-107 Avenue/ 780-758-3000), Chinatown (9662-107A Avenue/ 780-756-4000), and Spruce Grove (Highway 16A & Callaho Road/ 780-571-3000). I recently connected with iPharmacy owner Ahmed Metwally , who m...
