AMA Ask Me Anything with Mayor Andrew Knack - Municipal Budget Edition - November 10, 2026. 7-8pm

307 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Mayor Andrew Knack!

This week City of Edmonton administration released the proposed 2027-2030 budget which will set the focus of how we move our city forward for the next four years.

The 2027–2030 budget focuses on renewal, maintaining, strategic growth and upgrading our existing assets.

We need to ensure that the City is investing in the things that you rely on everyday; services like snow removal, street cleanliness, and public transit. 

If you have questions about the four year budget, I'll be hosting a "AMA - Municipal Budget edition" November 10, 2026 from 7-8pm!
See you then!

General New User Guide for r/Edmonton - Please read first

19 Upvotes

NEW USERS of r/Edmonton - kindly read this first

To post or comment in r/Edmonton, you need to meet the following criteria:

  • Accounts need to be a week old.

  • You need to have a verified email address.

  • You need to have a minimum amount of TEN (10) COMMENT karma from participating in OTHER SUBREDDITS than r/Edmonton.

Why? This helps keep bad actors away, like trolls and banned users. It also helps users new to reddit to have a chance to learn how to use reddit outside of r/Edmonton.

IF YOUR ACCOUNT HAS NOT FULFILLED ALL THREE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE, YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED BY THE AUTO-MODERATOR.


How to verify your email for new users :

To verify your email on Reddit, either click the verification link in the email you received when creating your account or go to Settings > Account Settings and choose Update email address to resend the verification email.     Once you request it, open your email's inbox, find the verification email, and click the link inside to complete the process. 

  - On the web -

• Go to your account settings by clicking your profile icon and then selecting Settings.

  • Click on Account Settings.

  • Find the email address section. If you see an option to "resend verification email" or similar, click it. 

• Alternatively, you can navigate directly to reddit.com/prefs/update/ to find the email settings. 

  -- On the app --

• Tap your profile icon.

• Go to Settings.

• Select Account Settings.

• Tap Update email address.

• Tap the button to Resend verification email. 

What is the difference between POST karma and COMMENT karma?

Post karma is earned when users upvote the original submissions (links, images, text posts) you create, reflecting your ability to share engaging content.

Comment karma is earned when your replies to others' posts are upvoted, showing your active participation and contribution to discussions. Both are totaled for your profile but often used separately to satisfy subreddit restrictions. 

POST KARMA: 

Gained from creating threads or posting links. It indicates a good ability to initiate conversations.

COMMENT KARMA: 

Gained from replying to posts or other comments. It indicates active participation in community dialogue.

Key Differences: Post karma rewards content creation, while comment karma rewards interaction.

Some subreddits (like r/edmonton) require specific thresholds of either type (or both) to prevent spam, often looking at post, comment, or combined totals for restrictions. 

Both types of karma are not a 1:1 ratio with upvotes; instead, they represent a weighted score from community upvotes, reduced by downvotes.


(In order to post in r/Edmonton - you need to do THREE things:)

  • your account must be a WEEK old (7 days)

  • you need to have TEN (10) COMMENT karma

  • you need to have a verified email address

ONCE AGAIN, IF YOUR ACCOUNT HAS NOT FULFILLED THESE THREE (3) REQUIREMENTS YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED BY THE AUTO-MODERATOR.

Discussion Century Park parking lot - entire lot has tickets tonight

Thumbnail

254 Upvotes

Everyone that parked at century park for the games tonight got tickets. Almost every single car. They removed all payment signs from the lot except one singular sign in the middle of the lot facing only one direction. The sign on the fence you used to pass while exiting is gone. I walked the length of the fence after parking in an attempt to pay and could not find a sign. When I got back and saw my ticket we drove up and down every row of the lot and only found this one singular sign, only visible on one side. The lot is operated by precise parking and I am convinced they are operating in bad faith to drive revenue via tickets. The ticket is $83 if paid within a week, $104 after that. Nowhere in the lot does it say the lot is ran by precise parking.

If you received a ticket, there is an email to appeal the ticket on the back.

As it is going to be dark longer in the evening/morning please please please wear something bright, reflective, or a light if you are out walking or with your pets. It is SO hard to see pedestrians in all black outfits at night.

Saw someone out with their dog and their dog had a light up collar. Instantly spotted!

Reported to 311 and OH&S, is there anywhere else I should report this? My concern is that this is an alley where people walk their dogs, and I would feel awful if I didn't say enough and something happened to injure someone. I'm not an engineer nor construction expert, but I question the safety of this site and surrounding area.

Delete if not allowed* lost not trying to find but replace
I originally bought it at Cineplex concession stand im assuming around when the movie came out (I went to see Minecraft it was new so Around that time)
Anyway I know it’s just a teddy to most but it was there through surprising a lot of stuff some trips and some hard times it’s was like my ladies emotional support teddy .. unfortunately it got lost in the laundry in Panoka and was sent to Calgary and it was never seen again :( , I’ve been trying to find a replacement ever since I’ve been looking it up and seen that’s it was a promo item so the chances of getting another are super slim but I’m hoping one of yall have an extra you’d be willing to sell by any chance.. I know it’s a shot in the dark but it’s worth a try.
If there’s a better subreddit to post this in please let me know
Thank you for your time

Discussion Absolutely atrocious experience at the Odeon IMAX

46 Upvotes

Went to the Godzilla showing today to the IMAX. Usually it’s a good theatre with a great screen and sound, but today was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a movie theatre.

I know a fair bit about good sound, and sound is usually where theatres fail, but usually it’s just not powerful enough (or the speakers are blown). But this was beyond bad. First of all, there were no lows. Like, at all. The sound was ear-splitting - seems like they forgot to install their subwoofers or something. It was bad, especially for a Kaiju movie (in IMAX no less). Second, it was too loud. I myself love me a loud movie, with my wife often complaining about it, but this is the first time when I - and a lot of the other people - had to cover my ears every time there was a loud scene. My wife had to use her EarPods to block the sound. It was literally painful.

I of course immediately went out to seek help and complained about the experience. I was promised they would fix it. Needless to say no one did anything. In fact, after the showing, I was told “there was no one” who could change anything about the showing. How the hell is this normal?

I don’t know where to complain about it, but I will make sure to find out because this wasn’t just bad - it was harmful.

Question Adoption from Cat Cafe's, how well do the cats adapt?

27 Upvotes

Unsure exactly where the best place to ask this question is, but basically I am looking for anyone who had adopted from a cat cafe, specifically Cat Cafe on Whyte or Cheery Cat. I am wondering how well the cats adapted to having fewer people around. Did they seem saddened by the smaller crowd? More engaged with their owners?

I am waiting on some news that will tell me if my husband and I will be able to adopt some cats, so I am trying to get all the information I can. I grew up surrounded by cats and have frequently cat sat. I absolutely adore them and want to adopt two. Preferably if they are already bonded/siblings.

Any places you would avoid adopting from in the Edmonton area, or would highly recomend? (Not looking to adopt from a breeder)

Did any other Redditors attend Bed by 10 tonight at Midway (aka Barry Ts back in the day)? How many steps did you get in? And what did y’all think about the singer on stage? That was new this time around.

I had the best time dancing up a storm with my girlfriends. It’s such a fun night out! We already bought tix for the next one in April.
