Geoffrey Giebelhaus<p>Striations (2022) </p><p>I had just barely moved back to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a> area for a short work stint, and my sister and I already had made backpacking plans. We headed off into a lesser known area of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CanadianRockies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianRockies</span></a> to explore an old route the settlers used to traverse the area.

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>The City of Edmonton has declared today, March 21, as Save Soil Day. I was at City Hall for the presentation of the official proclamation, and to speak to the gathered group about our recent Senate report on soil health. Tomorrow, the Save Soil group hosts a free double-bill at Campus Saint-Jean theatre: first, the documentary film Common Ground, followed by a one-woman show by Dale Hamilton called She Won’t Come in From the Fields. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yegcc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegcc</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SenateofCanada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ualberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ualberta</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SoilHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoilHealth</span></a></p>

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Trying to find groceries made or grown in Canada can be an adventure. And trying to find non-American “warm weather” produce can be an even bigger challenge. If you can buy at a farmers market or direct from a farmer, you obviously know the provenance of your food. But I’ve also had fun - and success - visiting stores like T&amp;T and HMart, as well as Edmonton independents like Spinelli’s Italian Centre, Lucky 97 and 99 Supermarket. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yegfood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegfood</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/elbowsupcanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elbowsupcanada</span></a></p>
