Autumn brings with it the buzz of academia, and it’s hard not to feel it in the air. Even if you’re not returning to school this semester, there’s never a wrong time to pop into a beautiful bookstore. From the Wee Book Inn to Daisy Chain, we rounded up some of Edmonton’s best independent bookstores for you to check out.

With a bit of a chill in the air, you’ll probably want something to warm you up after walking through the river valley. Whether it’s pho, ramen, or just a hearty bowl of soup, we have you covered for all of the best eats in Edmonton.

The Oilers are finally back in action, and we love to see it. If that wasn’t exciting enough, Oilers preseason tickets cost as little as $32, making it a perfect fall activity that won’t break the bank.
