Edmonton’s Best Dog Walks – Part 2
On the weekend I revisited my old stomping grounds with my new pooch. There is a beautiful large off leash area in the same valley as the Valley Zoo.

So here is the first of what I hope to be a series of articles about my favorite places to walk my dog. Of course, you can […]

Ride or walk through the pioneer times and enjoy activities ranging from riding the steam train or a streetcar, going for a pony ride, trying out the shooting gallery, miniature golf or riding the midway. From fast food to an old-fashioned candy store to high […]
