The Queen Elizabeth II Building is a prominent government office building located on the northeast corner of the Alberta Legislature Grounds in Downtown Edmonton.
Key Points:
Name: Originally known as the Federal Public Building, it was officially renamed the Queen Elizabeth II Building in September 2022 in tribute to the late monarch.
Architecture and History: It was designed in 1939 in the Art Deco style by George Heath MacDonald, though construction was delayed by World War II. It was finally built between 1955 and 1958, using Tyndall Stone from Manitoba. It is considered one of Edmonton's most significant modern buildings.
Function: It initially housed the Government of Canada's offices for Western Canada. After the Government of Alberta acquired it in 1983, it stood vacant until major renovations were completed in 2015. It now houses offices for provincial government employees and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).
Public Access: The building is home to the Legislative Assembly Visitor Centre, which offers exhibits, a gallery, and a theatre. It is also connected to Edmonton's underground pedestrian walkway system (Pedway).

The intersection of 104 Street NW and Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue NW) is not just a traffic point but a historically significant and recently recognized crossroad of cultural and social importance in Edmonton.
The Original Strathcona Hub: Historically, the intersection of 104 Street (which served as the Main Street of the old City of Strathcona, also known as Calgary Trail at this point) and Whyte Avenue (the main east-west artery) was the commercial nucleus and ground zero for the community's development following the arrival of the railway in 1891.
"Pride Corner": Since May 2022, the corner has been officially proclaimed by the Mayor as Edmonton's "Pride Corner." This designation is a formal recognition of the city's LGBTQ+ community. The area became a symbol of safety, celebration, and inclusion following local activism aimed at reclaiming the space from persistent homophobic street preachers.
Commercial and Cultural Centre: The intersection is surrounded by heritage properties and remains a vital centre for the dining, retail, and nightlife that characterizes the vibrant Old Strathcona area.

Location: It is situated in the heart of the vibrant and historic Old Strathcona district, specifically on 83 Avenue NW, near Whyte Avenue.
Concept: It is part of the hospitality group responsible for other successful local eateries like MEAT and Pip. The restaurant is noted for its bright interior and appealing atmosphere.
Menu Offerings: The menu focuses on a dozen unique, well-crafted sandwiches (both hot and cold) with popular choices including the Focaccia Chicken Club, the Beef Dip, and the Reuben. It also serves satisfying sides, soups, salads, and house-made desserts (like gluten-free carrot cake).

Every August, Elk Island National Park comes alive with the intensity of the bison rut. The great Plains Bison, usually calm and grazing across the grasslands, shift into a season of dominance and display. Bulls clash and bellow, their deep resonant calls echoing across the park as they compete for the right to mate.
The rut is not only a show of strength but also of resilience. These bison are descendants of a herd that was nearly lost forever in the late 1800s. Today, they thrive here on the protected prairies and forests of Elk Island, living reminders of both survival and renewal.
To witness the rut is to glimpse a timeless drama — the cycle of life played out on the same land where their ancestors once roamed in uncountable numbers.
