Great performances of both national anthems at tonight's Game Six.

We’re making Edmonton’s full list of banned books completely searchable. Now, you can find all 221 books, including titles from Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley and more in one place. See which books will be removed from Edmonton school libraries this fall.

She's loud but a good neighbor all the same...she's a crow🐦⬛
She routinely follows me on dog walks by flitting from the roof of one parked car to the next. Today, she brought along her fledgling. It was lovely 🥰
