Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment. She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud. About always believing something wonderful is about to happen. My tribute to Colleen: www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

It would be an awesome holiday miracle if we could get some goaltending for the Oilers.

So sorry to hear of Colleen's passing. She is a legend and was such a positive, delightful person. She was a volunteer during my time working with the 2011 Canada Games. May she rest in peace. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can I read Hamnet in time before being drawn in to see the movie? 🤞I have about 30 TBR fiction books for this winter & decided today is the perfect weather for reading.

Sometimes it feels like I have all of Lois Hole park to myself on my ride & other times, I get to watch coyotes walking on ice in the distance. 😁 #yegbike

The best way to kick a headcold after 6 days is to go for a bike ride, right? 🤞 Such a beautiful afternoon, albeit a windy one, to ride on neighbourhood trails. #yegbike

There is only one person who could convince me to record a podcast on a train or make me laugh by asking awkward questions about council's interest in transit in front of councillors & that's @troypavlek.ca. Going to miss your voice on Speaking Municipally.

Aurora is showing off tonight #yeg!

I can't get used to the "Monday night" Prime NHL broadcast. It's so weird.

Love the way Movement organizers engage & dig into transit issues in a creative way. 👏

I've got a long list of follow ups from attending the national transit conference. Loved hearing Marco Chitti present about the high costs of North American transit projects, as an ex. transitcosts.com/about/. Also appreciated hearing people say Edmonton is punching above its weight for transit. 1/2

All the Montreal faves today. #IYKYK

Riding transit in other cities like a mystery shopper. Montreal, your faring system (how many zones am I using?) & fare gates were confusing- where do I scan the ticket? No wait, I have to insert the ticket. Thankfully, fellow riders helped me out. 🙌

In Montreal for the next few days. I've already been on two walks, got my Bixi bike pass & cycled, visited a bookstore & over caffeinated. 😂

Yesavage is unreal! Go Jays! 💙

Highly recommend booking immunizations through 811 instead of using the very confusing website. Called this morning, vaccinated this afternoon. 🙌

This!!!

Holy sh*t! Grand slam! 💙

This Gen Xer remembers watching the Blue Jays as a teenager at the Skydome, including spending time at the Hard Rock Cafe. 😄

Not me already checking the @taprootedmonton.ca results page even though logically, I know people are still waiting in line to vote. #yeg edmonton.taproot.vote/2025/results

Some of my contacts were in & out in 10-15 minutes, I was closer to 35 mins for #yegvote. Don't walk away if there is a line, it can move quickly & every vote is an important one. Thank you election workers! #yeg

Every person I've come into contact with this weekend has heard me encourage them to vote, share how to research candidate platforms & find out where to vote. Transit service can bring you to voting locations. Thank you in advance to election workers! #yeg www.edmonton.ca/city_governm...

The best way to spend a day off. 🍁☀️🚲☕ #yegbike

My dog is rolling on his back in our yard then smelling the grass over & over and I hope everyone gets to experience simple joys like he does. 🍁

A morning walk. Now listening to kids giggle while they play a boardgame while sitting next to a crackling fire. I finished a book and am now knitting while dinner roasts in the oven. A near perfect day with lots to be thankful for. 🍂🙌

It's the first day for advanced voting in #yeg for the municipal election. 🎉 To learn more & link to candidate websites/social media, visit Edmonton Elections: www.edmonton.ca/city_governm...

This is super cool.

Lovely ride this morning! Get outside. #yegbike #yeg

Overnight temps are dropping so it's time to haul in the final round of tomatoes. It was a great season. 🙌 #yeggarden

As a public servant, the month before an election to determine who our governors will be always feels like it has about 400 days. Can we just fast forward to Halloween & know who's at the table? 🫠

I look forward to the orange shirt run & walk/Root for Trees event at Kinsmen every year. Today's event was beautiful on so many levels. 🤎 The sun came out just as the kids crossed the finished line. 🙌

Had a great visit at our LRT garage this afternoon. Love seeing our equipment & fleet up close. (Photos show train car on a hoist, locomotive used to haul train cars, catenary inspection vehicle and track equipment vehicle).

My Rad Runner 1 is in need of service to assess weak brakes. I've tried to assess myself but am not having luck. Any recommendations for repair shop, #yegbike? I know not a lot serve @radpowerbikes.bsky.social bikes.

A morning cycle on a sunny day, followed by loading up on veggies & fruit from the farmers market is a nice way to kick off the weekend. #yegbike

Deeply grateful for the Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre for their partnership to create an Indigenous designed bus wrap. Indigenous Peoples have shared that transit hasn't felt welcoming & inclusive. This is one small step we can take together. Can't wait to see it in service. 🤎

A little break from the doom scrolling to share that despite some aphids, the sunflowers are doing just fine 🙌. #yeggarden

Me reading transit references in Mayoral and Councillor candidate platforms: 🧐

Scaling back consumption of social media & news while also spending more time connecting with people in person is great for mental health. Highly recommend.

As a parent with a very excited kiddo who wants to return to school next week...let's just say that I really hope kids return to school next week. 🤞

Migraine finally cleared, so I can be productive again!

Working in public transit includes days that are hard & frustrating. There are also really joyful moments that make me forget about those hard days. 😄 I love this article & these rider stories so much- thank you @taprootedmonton.ca for brightening my day! edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/08...

Voles have destroyed one of my garden beds, followed by something eating my cauliflower, then aphids going after sunflowers. The pressure is on my tomato plants to churn out a big harvest 😂

Nothing is quite as humbling as having a knee sprain & hobbling around an airport. We had to to deplane, move to a different terminal at Pearson then reboard a different plane several hours later due to a mechanical issue. 🤦

Quantity & quality of service drive ridership. Need to keep up with service investments (faster service, more frequent service, reliable fleet, clean vehicles & waiting areas, safe env't) to drive mode shift. We really need the basics done right.

Doing east coast things is vacation time well spent.

Insomnia while on vacation is really irritating but at least I have coffee & great views. ☕

There is no easier way to self identify as an introvert than being present during a dinner with my husband's family. Six convos at once & no one notices when I retreat with a book. 😂

Spent Canada day on a leisurely bike ride (trails were busy!), followed by a short nap, then played basketball with kiddo. A near perfect way to end my little break. 🙌

Outdoor time > everything else.
