We are going to head out and take a look from up above the ridge over the that mini golf course/driving range/9 hole par three by glenmore and deerfoot. I'll post pics when I get back. Maybe we can see the sewage plant as well and will post pics if we can.

Nowhere near the worst hit neighborhood, but took a walk around west Victoria Park.

I'm sure they will try and reschedule it. It could still work in August.

I don't see that happening, but we might lose some events like the bigger concerts part of the midway some other events.
But there's no way that this city is going to allow something that generates that much money to the city to not happen.

There will be no rescheduling or cancellation. A form of the stampede will go forward at the usual time.

Temporary drop-in centre at 4804 Edmonton Trail NE no longer needs volunteers according to CTV, but is still in need of supplies such as food, toothpaste, toothbrushes, socks, and underwear. They do not have a kitchen so the food needs to be items that can be eaten as is.
