Has anyone attended? Wondering if itโs worth venturing down to go.
Has anyone here visited the new Indigenous experience at Fort Edmonton? What is it like? Do they have costumed interpreters like the rest of the park? Worth a visit?
Want to buy tickets to one of these Halloween events. All things considered, which one is a better event overall to spend your money on and having a fun and scary night out?
Wanna go next week but the forecast doesn't look great
We are considering passes to the park as weโve had them a lot in the past but we are Covid conservative. Wondering how busy the park is? Can you social distance easily and do all the stuff? I.e. new area, rides etc.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Hey guys, Iโm in Edmonton for a month working a shutdown. I obviously brought all my gear up with me but would love some help targeting small creeks and rivers. Any one have any not so secret spots they can share. Also I have a belly boat if thereโs any decent small lake fishing.
I've seen a couple of people asking about jobs and I know Fort Edmonton Park is hiring for all kinds of different work and a bus goes right past there if you don't have a car. And the Fort Edmonton Foundation is looking for an admin person. I hope this information is helpful!

Located in Treaty 6 Territory- Amiskwacรฎwรขskahikanโฏโฏแแฅแขแฒแงแแแงแขแฒแฆแแฒแฃ, the homeland of the Mรฉtis Nation and now Region 4, and the largest population of Inuit south of the 60th parallel.
Fort Edmonton Park has reopened after a multi-million-dollar renovation provided by all levels of government, and the highlight is a new INDIGENOUS PEOPLES EXPERIENCEโ an exhibit showcasing the diversity of Mรฉtis and First Nations history, culture, experiences and perspectives from centuries ago to today.
The park partnered with the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations and the Mรฉtis Nation of Alberta to ensure accuracy.
All aspects of history are represented: the loss of buffalo, residential schools and missing and murdered Indigenous woman and girls.
Park officials worked closely with knowledge keepers and elders from various nations in bringing forward stories told. Evert Poor is the Indigenous narrative supervisor. He came out of retirement to be a part of the Indigenous Peoples Experience.

โItโs a world class facility,โ said Poor. โIโve been to most of the Indigenous peoples experiences in western North America, and they are very good. I think weโve gone a step further in conveying a story. And not only the story that comes from this space, but also from the people here.โ

>The experience will help educate those who want to learn more about Indigenous history.

>โI think what is really important in this facility is that it indicates that weโve always been here. And we are still here as a people,โ said Poor. โA lot of misperceptions that history starts 150 years ago, or 200. Weโve always been here.โ
I canโt find anything about it online but maybe Iโm missing something?
