Welcome to November! Or, what many happy fuzzy faced folks refer to as “Movember”. It’s the month of the mustache, from the pencil to handlebar, a solid 30 days dedicated to honouring facial hair, and for good reason. What started as 30 Australian “Mo Bros” back in 2003, has grown to a society of 5 million Bros and Sisters, around the world. By 2014, the fun loving cause with a purpose had raised over $677 million, funded 832 Men’s Health Projects and was rated number 72 of the top 500 non-governmental organizations in the world. The cause focuses on four keys areas: Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Poor Mental Health and Physical Inactivity. And this year, they are expanding to include “Move-ember”, challenging folks to get active for 30 days. So whether you are sporting a new facial do, taking on the physical challenge, or donating to someone who is, Movember is an excellent cause. For more information, please visit:

Another special day this month is also around the corner. Mustaches aren’t the only thing people everywhere are wearing this month. Red poppies sit pinned neatly on coats as we honour the sacrifices and achievements of those who served our country. To all those of the past, as well as those who currently serve, we are forever grateful for what you do for our incredible country. November 11th is Remembrance Day, and our city has a special service planned at City Hall, to be held in the City Room from 10:15 to 10:35.

We’ve been fortunate so far in Edmonton to enjoy a pretty fantastic fall! Well, maybe not today’s announcement that Oiler fan favourite, Connor McDavid, has suffered an injury that will keep him out “long term”. But, not to worry, we are a city that thrives on adapting to the unexpected! We can go from mowing grass one day to being buried under 3 feet of snow the next. We may start off slightly disgruntled, but that changes the moment we hit the slopes, slip on our skates or build that first snowman. Speaking of colder weather, an exciting event has been announced for our city, in the form of a gigantic ice castle (as in football field sized) that will premier at this years Silver skate Festival at Hawrelak Park! We are city that moves and shakes 365 days a year, so make sure to visit our Facebook page for the latest events happening in and around Edmonton!
Our team takes pride in keeping our community up to date on the latest housing market stats and trends.
