This Saturday will mark my 1st anniversary on Mastodon. And in honour of my Mastoversary - and in honour of Diwali, Bandi Chhor Divas, Reading Week, and the opening of the Valley Line South, I'm launching a surprise pop-up mini edition of YEGQUEST! Six clues, in easy-peasy walking distance of new LRT stops. The game launches this Friday - you'll have a week to complete the clues. Watch this space for your #yegqest clue and news! #Edmonton #yeg #LRT #ValleyLine #Diwali #Henday #MillWoods #yegdt
Hello Edmonton! Now that the weather is milder - and with a long weekend ahead - I'm offering folks to chance to catch up on #yegquest. #Hanukkah may be over, but in keeping with the spirit of the season, the #Henukkah Hunt goes on days later. You have until sundown on January 1st to find #Henday and post your pictures, tagging me - that enters you in the draw for a Bonnie Stern cookbook, donated by the #Jewish Federation of #Edmonton. Stand by, as I retoot the clues! #yeg #yegdt
It's DAY SIX of the Eight Days (plus 1) of #Henukkah, and #Henday our free range chicken has found a new roost in downtown #Edmonton. Can you figure out where she is from this rhyming clue? Post a picture from the same spot, tagging me and using the #yegquest hashtag. You have until January 1 to post your pic and be entered in a prize draw, sponsored by the Edmonton Jewish Federation. #yeg #Edmonton #Hanukkah #yegdt
Who are Edmontonians? People who head out on a -40 day to do this! Thank you to all who did #yegquest these last two days. The rest of you still have lots of time to catch up when the weather breaks! #yeg #Edmonton #yegdt #Hanukkah #Henday #Henukkah
Here’s another #yegquest special, from @lindork, the Queen of #yeg Instagram. (I think she was lucky enough to have this one in her files, taken this winter on a less snowy day!) #yegdt #yegart #ExploreEdmonton #Edmonton #Henday #Hanukkah
Good morning! Welcome to my first-ever Mastodon #yegquest ! The rules are simple - and fair. Using the photo and the rhyming clue, figure out where #Henday the free range chicken was, and then post a photo from the same spot, using the #yegquest hashtag. A clue will drop every day of #Hanukkah. (All sites are in the #yegdt.) #Edmonton #hanukkah2022 #YegArt
(What is #yegquest you ask? Every day for 9 days, I will post a photo of #Henday in a different picturesque spot in #yegdt. Each photo will be accompanied by a poetic clue. Solve the clue, find the spot where Henday WAS roosting, then post a picture from the same place, using the #yegquest hashtag. Toot, boost, repeat!) #Edmonton #Hanukkah
Shabbat Shalom! Here's the interview I did with Mark Connolly of #CBC Edmonton this morning about Hanukkah, and the Eight Days (plus one) of Henukkah #yegquest that I'm launching this Sunday morning. I was delighted to join Stacey Leavitt-Wright, the CEO of the #Edmonton #Jewish Federation to talk about latkes and candles and all things Chanukah. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-17-edmonton-am/clip/15955490-time-hanukkah #yeg #yegdt #edmonton #Hanukkah #Chanukah #Henday
This morning, I did my best to introduce Ryan Jespersen and his audience to #Mastodon - in a WIDE ranging conversation that covered everything from #soilhealth to #Hanukkah to #antisemitism to #masks to that #CactusClub lady from Toronto Life. Also? I have now made a public vow to leave the Other Place by January 1. https://youtu.be/SNAnK5EL_P0 #Edmonton #yeg #Toronto #yegquest #Henday https://youtu.be/SNAnK5EL_P0

We in #yeg are so fortunate that our excellent Senator @Paulatics Simons has done this for us! It is such a fun way to explore new parts of your city/town and spend time with loved ones. For anyone who is not fortunately enough to live in Edmonton, I challenge you to make a quest of your own and share with the rest of @mstdn.ca so we can see how unique and interesting your corner of Canada is.
