EDMONTON A 49-year-old man has been charged with several offences, including attempted murder, after a pair of shootings on Friday sent two people to hospital. On July 9 around 5:20 p.m., police responded to a weapons complaint at a commercial complex near 149 Street and 89 Avenue. When police arrived, they were told men in separate cars had been shot by another man. “Investigators believe the shootings were random in nature rather than targeted offences,” said police in a news release. Lance Cardinal, of Goodfish Lake in northern Alberta, has been charged with two counts each of attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a restricted firearm.
EDMONTON Parkview is welcoming all Edmontonians to try out its life-sized Snakes and Ladders starting Thursday. The chalk-painted board is about 36 square metres in size and features all the classic game s essentials – from ladders that give players a boost up, to snakes that mean progress could soon slither away – all laboriously painted by a handful of volunteers. It s iconic. It s like the Monopoly board; it s special, said Kristie Edwardsen, the mom of four, teacher, artist and Parkview resident who led the initiative. She also spearheaded a chalk-painted Monopoly board in Crestwood a year earlier. We saw how much it brought joy, connection, in a safe way – socially distanced, of course, she recalled.
