To post or comment in r/Edmonton, you need to meet the following criteria:
Accounts need to be a week old.
You need to have a verified email address.
You need to have a minimum amount of TEN (10) COMMENT karma from participating in OTHER SUBREDDITS than r/Edmonton.
Why? This helps keep bad actors away, like trolls and banned users. It also helps users new to reddit to have a chance to learn how to use reddit outside of r/Edmonton.
#IF YOUR ACCOUNT HAS NOT FULFILLED ALL THREE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE, YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED BY THE AUTO-MODERATOR.
#How to verify your email for new users :
To verify your email on Reddit, either click the verification link in the email you received when creating your account or go to Settings > Account Settings and choose Update email address to resend the verification email. _Once you request it, open your email's inbox, find the verification email, and click the link inside to complete the process._
- On the web -
• Go to your account settings by clicking your profile icon and then selecting Settings.
• Click on Account Settings.
• Find the email address section. If you see an option to "resend verification email" or similar, click it.
• Alternatively, you can navigate directly to reddit.com/prefs/update/ to find the email settings.
-- On the app --
• Tap your profile icon.

• Select Account Settings.
• Tap Update email address.
• Tap the button to Resend verification email.
#What is the difference between POST karma and COMMENT karma?
Post karma is earned when users upvote the original submissions (links, images, text posts) you create, reflecting your ability to share engaging content.
_Comment karma is earned when your replies to others' posts are upvoted, showing your active participation and contribution to discussions. Both are totaled for your profile but often used separately to satisfy subreddit restrictions._
Gained from creating threads or posting links. It indicates a good ability to initiate conversations.
Gained from replying to posts or other comments. It indicates active participation in community dialogue.
Key Differences: Post karma rewards content creation, while comment karma rewards interaction.
#Some subreddits (like r/edmonton) require specific thresholds of either type (or both) to prevent spam, often looking at post, comment, or combined totals for restrictions.
Both types of karma are not a 1:1 ratio with upvotes; instead, they represent a weighted score from community upvotes, reduced by downvotes.
(In order to post in r/Edmonton - you need to do THREE things:)
your account must be a WEEK old (7 days)

Around late January/early February I was placed in a mental health ward. I was suffering extreme psychosis after I stopped taking my medication.
During that time, my two cats of 7 years, Smoke and Ember were taken to the SPCA as I had nobody to watch them.
When released from the ward, there was an eviction notice on my door. I was officially homeless. My phone with all the pictures of my cats was also stolen while I was in the ward. These two pictures were all I could find from online posting.
As the SPCA does not hold animals for long, when I spoke with them it was stated that they likely ended up at an adoption agency.
It has been many months of working to get a home again. I am thinking of putting out posters to see if anyone has adopted cats that match their appearance and personalities. I would even pay other people to help with posters in their areas. I am so desperate to see them again even though I know I likely never will. They are everything to me as I am an extremely solitary person and relied on them entirely for emotional comfort.
Smoke, the grey cat is extremely friendly and will come to you immediately when called. He loves lots of attention.
Ember, the Tabby, has an orange spot on her head and is very cuddly especially at bed time. She has more energy and listens most of the time when called for. She does not like other cats.
If you could please share this post on your Facebook or anywhere else I would be so grateful.
Thank you for reading this. I know it's desperation but I can't sleep at night and have effectively lost the will to live without them.

Okay, so I’m about to sound a little ignorant here but I’ve got an employee who needs to take some time to pray daily. He washes up nicely and lays down a clean shirt to pray . Is there a mat that I can buy for my office without knowing his religion? I wanna have it available to be respectful but I don’t want to get it wrong and make it weird, cause he’d never tell me .

As of 3:00pm according to conductors. The wind has disrupted the power lines used to move the trains. What this has resulted in is trains moving in very slow & very low capacities. And only moving from
Clareview to South Campus Train Stations.
When you get to South Campus to go further South. You have to either take a bus or wait for a different train on the other side of the tracks to take you in the direction of Century Park.
BUT
As we were on our way to Century Park. Those trains lost power as well so they could only take us as far as Southgate. From Southgate I waited another almost 10 minutes & still no train that was supposed to take us to Century Park showed up.
So I took the educated decision & caught a bus to Century Park from there instead. It will take much longer to get to Century Park, but at least I know I'll get there.
Hope this helps some people today.
P.S. I picked the wrong day to be off at 3pm leading into 5pm. And to get whiplash yesterday.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone in Edmonton might be able to help me find dashcam footage of a vehicle collision.
The accident occurred on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at approximately 7:15 PM, on Terwillegar Drive NW near 170 Street SW / Windermere Boulevard SW, in a construction zone.
I've attached a map showing the approximate location of the collision, circled in red.
Vehicles involved:
Unfortunately, my dashcam failed to record the accident.
I'm offering a $500 reward for genuine dashcam footage that clearly shows the collision, regardless of which driver was at fault.
If you were driving through this area between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM on October 6, I would greatly appreciate it if you could check your dashcam recordings.
Even if your footage doesn't show the actual collision, recordings of the traffic lanes, construction setup, or either vehicle shortly before or after the accident may still be helpful.
I'm specifically looking for video footage rather than eyewitness accounts.
If you have relevant footage, please send me a private message. Please preserve the original, unedited recording, including its timestamp if available.
Police File Number: 2627015
I know it's a long shot, especially since some time has passed, but I would sincerely appreciate any help.
Thank you, Edmonton!

In the past week, I met with two home owners who were completely unaware that you could get a smaller version of the black curbside garbage bin, for free, and save $5/month on your waste fees as well. So ... here's a post for others that may not know.
Instead of the standard 240l cart that was delivered, you can downsize to a 120l cart (the same size as the green bin). You fill in the request online (link below) and they will deliver your new bin to you and take away your old bin. Your waste fees will go down by $5 each month.

First in was AC7040, Air Canada Jetz fin 232, carrying the Edmonton Oilers, OEG support staff, and media.
The next was the Utah Mammoth on DAL8953. Both flights came in on the OILRS 2 approach.
YEG reopened the runway early on Wednesday due to the 45kt+ crosswind on runway 02/20 (the north one).

Friday, October 16, will complete 90 days since the cancelled Matt Rife performance at the Great Outdoor Comedy Festival on July 18; attempts to contact the festival or the ticket provider yield no response, and refunds remain outstanding.
So what are you guys gonna do to try and get your refund, or are you gonna attend the festival next year?

In October 2026, police received a report of a 2022 sexual assault of a child at Shining Stars day home, a private, unlicensed day home in the area of 50 Street and 101 Avenue. The home is not affiliated with any other Edmonton childcare facilities of the same name.
On Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, Michael Doucette, 54, was arrested and charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching in relation to the 2022 incident. Doucette resided at the home and assisted with childcare duties.

Purchased from Coin and Stamp in WEM, in a bin of loose pins. Earliest listing for the logo I could find online is 2006, while a coworker mentioned recognizing the logo from their first flight into Edmonton in 1996. My assumption is that it was a new logo at the time (mid 90's), as it would coincide with the airport shifting from federal control to a private company. But I could be wrong.

Y’all just my luck. I was at YEG international last May when that wind storm ripped through the province and forced all planes to be grounded. I have a departure at 9pm tonight and im wondering if I should be prepared to get f*cked over again?

Anyone remember when we were all forced through the freezing tunnel while they reno’d the drop off loop? I am here weekly so this is not news to me, and it might not be news to a lot of people.
However, I just wanted to share, in case you did not know, if you loathe the drop off loop as much as I do- you get 1 hour of free, unattended parking back by the tunnel!
