Yeg Life

Your Edmonton, off the clock.

Something new is taking shape for Edmonton — and it's not another tower on Jasper Ave.

Yeg Life is the city the way you actually live it: Whyte Ave on a Friday, the river valley the second the snow lets up, a 124 Street patio, green onion cake at 1 a.m., the Oilers in spring, a basement show you heard about an hour ago. Canada's Festival City isn't a slogan here — it's the calendar.

We're rounding up where to eat, drink, see and wander — Old Strathcona to the Ice District, river valley to the north side, with zero tourist-trap energy.

First drop's almost here. See you on the Ave.
