April 27, 1905 and it's Connecting Stage Lines at Vintage Edmonton: vintageedmonton.com/2024/04/april-… #yeg #yeghistory #yegheritage #edmonton #1900s
On this day in 1906, Edmonton was chosen as the capital of Alberta in a vote in the Legislative Assembly. Calgary, Red Deer & Edmonton were up for voting to be the capital. A total of 16 MLAs voted for Edmonton, and 8 voted for Calgary.
Bob Cole, the play-by-play voice of countless NHL games, dies at 90 cbc.ca/1.7184556
Our reporter Jackie Carmichael has a fantastic piece on the loss of Hangar 11 — mirrored, oddly, by the destruction of a similar WWII-era hangar on the other side of the county. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
The City of Edmonton Archives is such an important institution in this city! So delighted to see them starting this archival outreach. #yeghistory #yegheritage edmonton.taproot.news/news/2024/04/2…
@MJForbes @azoilfan4 Al Shaver was a great Edmonton broadcaster at CFRN. When he left, he was replaced by another wonderful “Al”, in Mr McCann.
On this day in 1971, one of Edmonton's nightlife hotspots was advertising live music. This moment in history was created by @scott_lilwall from a clipping found on @VintageEdmonton. edmonton.taproot.news/briefs/2024/04… #yegdevelopment #yeghistory
As an elder Edmontonian millennial, you are obligated to wonder how many of the people pictured on the cover of Cadence Weapon’s Afterparty Babies still reside in #yeg.

@William60731213 @VintageEdmonton @oldcanadaseries John Walter’s ferry was destroyed in the flood of 1915. The ferry that is in the bush, is the remains of the Holborn Ferry. The City bought it in the 1960s with plans to restore it for the museum there, but it just sat on the riverbank where it is rotting away.

"Swedish players aren't tough like Canadians" x.com/sz1909_szember…
The Swedish Bandyfinal is played today, 118 years of uninterrupted competition since 1907. Last time it was played on a frozen lake was 1949. The reason why Sweden immediately became a hockey power in the 1920s was thanks to bandy.
There were times when the smallest news from a small town made major newspapers. This is from the Edmonton Journal on March 14, 1946 on page 15. Vermilion is a small town 1.5 hours east of the city.
