The Featured Edmontonian for November and December 2023 is JARET SCHEMERHORN
Way back in 1996, I decided to join the Canadian Forces and met some really great people, not the least of which was this beauty, Jaret Schemerhorn. It was a pretty nerve wracking experience getting out of basic training in Shilo, Manitoba that summer and then integrating into my new unit in the Royal Canadian…
Jaret’s choice for November and December donations is THE VETERANS ASSOCIATION FOOD BANK
Located right here in Edmonton at 18504-111 Ave is a charitable organization that is vital to the well being of our troops. The Veterans Association Food Bank exists directly as a result of the closure of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Food Bank back in 2018. It was created by Marie Blackburn to fill the hole…

Week 140 … Spare tires. The ones in trees are fun but the ones around your waist are just annoying…
As unproductive as I feel I’ve been at collecting kilometers lately, I’m glad for the ones I have been able to get this summer on Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday. It’s a shame to be having to nurse this pesky foot injury during the summer and only getting about 50 percent of the distance I’m…

Week 132…Back at ‘er! Manparts and Henday!
Awesome news! I’ve been given a clean bill of health by the docs and just have to undergo a bunch of cancer screening tests over the next few years to confirm it hasn’t come back. I think I’ll be fine though since the cancer was caught early and didn’t have a chance to spread. Early…
Pat and Charlie’s choice for May and June 2023 donations is WILD NORTH
Have you ever been in a situation where you saw a sick or injured animal and didn’t know what to do or who to call? Maybe it was a bird that flew into a window or was an animal that was injured after being hit by a car. Well, the charity that will be receiving…
The Featured Edmontonian(s) for May and June 2023 are PAT and CHARLIE LEACH
So I promised my parents that I would give them the opportunity to choose a charity that The Streets Initiative would collect donations for this time around and I figured that since May and June are the months for Mother’s Day and Fathers Day, this would be an appropriate time. I was lucky to have…
