Our 2025 Candy Cane Check Stop was a sweet success.

On December 12, members of the RCMP, Edson Fire Department, Citizens On Patrol and Victim Services bundled up and braved the cold to hand out 300 candy canes to drivers at 51 St and 12 Ave. A big thank‑you to Your Independent Grocer for donating the candy canes that kept the smiles going.

We’re also happy to report that no impaired drivers were found during the check. Safe roads and festive spirits make for a great holiday season.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to all the partners who helped make this year’s check stop a cheerful one.

Update:
This sweet boy has officially been identified as Cinnamon. His tattoo traced back to an owner who shared that he has been missing for FOUR YEARS. They’re relieved to know he’s safe and cared for, but are not able to take him back at this time.
Cinnamon is friendly and affectionate, though he doesn’t enjoy being in a cage, so we’re hoping to find him a comfortable, loving home as soon as possible. He is now available for adoption through the Town of Edson.
If you’re interested in adopting Cinnamon or would like more information, please contact us at:

Found Cat – Help Us Reunite!

This friendly orange tabby was found this afternoon near 1015–57 Avenue. It’s currently safe at the pound, but we’re hoping to find its owner as soon as possible!

• Has a tattoo and it is being traced

The cat is friendly but does not like being caged, so we’d love to get it home quickly.

If this is your cat or you have any information, please contact us right away!

Please share to help spread the word!

Did you know?
Micro mobility devices - like bicycles, e-bikes, electric scooters, non-motorized scooters, roller blades, in-line skates, electric and non-motorized skateboards, shared bicycles, and electric pedal-assisted bikes - are designed to travel below 25 km/h and can be a great way to get around.

But when using them, riders must show safe regard for pedestrians:
✅ Yield the right of way
✅ Use care and control when passing
✅ Keep a safe distance
✅ Give an audible signal (bell, voice, horn, etc.) before overtaking
⚠️ Not all micro mobility devices are permitted on sidewalks, and no one should be riding at an unreasonable speed in pedestrian areas.

Let’s keep our shared spaces safe and respectful for everyone.
