Conservationists are urging the City of Edmonton to stop the $134 million Hawrelak Park rehabilitation project and start again, first by consulting local Indigenous communities something it didn’t do before council approved the project.
Dozens of Edmontonians rallied in Hawrelak Park Saturday, demanding the city reassess plans to chop down 220 trees during the upcoming three-year rehabilitation project.
During a tour of the building Friday, City of Edmonton officials warned to watch out for rodents, bats and birds that have entered through building vents.
