Look at the forecast, getting up to 20°! We’ve been very patient and spring has finally sprung, friends! We had a fabulous cold season in our winter city, but it’s time for us to hibernate. Enjoy all that the warm seasons offer, and we’ll see you around the corner! #YEG

The sun is shining and it’s downright warm by Edmonton standards! It’s a great day to get outside for a bit. Where do you like to take a spin on your bike, go for a stroll, or enjoy a good book? #YEG

As we look back on this winter, what’s one special thing you’ll remember? We’re also looking forward to the warm season — it’s almost May, so it must be coming! What are you excited for? #YEG

It’s the end of April and there’s snow on the ground. We can’t gloss over that! But we can look back at a winter well spent, with lots of snowy fun, and spring finally around the corner! #YEG

With so much to do in our winter city, it’s time to change the tired narrative that Edmonton is boring, or that we have to endure the winter season. It is what we make of it! #YEG

As tired of winter as we might currently be, its charm can still be novel to visitors. Imagine seeing the northern lights or our river valley view for the first time! Pretty magical stuff. #YEG

Well, we’ve reached mid-April, and the brown detritus of springtime is in full bloom! It’s not the colourful season we see in storybooks, but there are little signs of life around us. Do you have any springtime traditions or favourite places to go this time of year? #YEG

More than ever, businesses have to think outside the box to draw and keep customers. For a restaurant in a winter city, this can mean creating an experience beyond just dining, as Tiramisu Bistro has done with their snow domes! #WinterCity #YEGwinter #YEG

All year round, Edmonton is bustling with festivals and events that bring community members together and remind us of what’s great about our city. We just have to get out there and take advantage of the fun! #WinterCity #YEG

How can businesses counteract the post-holidays winter downturn? Find a way to embrace our winter city identity! For restaurants, a winter patio can be just the thing to draw people out, especially if it’s heated. Let the music move you and the conversation flow! #WinterCity #YEGwinter #YEG

The weekend is almost here! Why not enjoy a winter patio? After all, it’s good for the economy: "A strong winter economy looks like warm drinks on heated patios and festivals that celebrate the season." —Alanna Morton, executive director of the French Quarter BIA Cheers to that! #YEG

The joy of travel is experiencing something new, and for many tourists, our climate, recreation and festivals are new and exciting!  It’s easy to take what’s familiar for granted, but winter’s magic is still fresh for some of our southern friends. Believe it or not, it’s our competitive edge! #YEG

Let’s talk about winter joy!  Thoughts from Shawn Balog, GM of Snow Valley Ski Club:  “Operating a ski hill in the winter is the best because we get to see how much joy being outside in winter can bring. That is an investment in not only our mental and physical health, but also in our community.”

It doesn't feel fair, but early March is often just February II: The Revenge. It usually stops around the first week, but it's thrown -20°C (and -25°C and -30°) at us in 2024, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2014, 2013... So this week's -17°C could be worse. #yegwx #yeg public.tableau.com/shared/6F5NX...
