7 questions about where you're at in life and it'll tell you what you're eligible for federally, provincially and municipally (62 cities so far). 20 languages. I hope its helpful for many.

Can anyone recommend a deck or fence stain they’ve used that holds up in Sherwood park/Edmonton weather/ winters?

I don’t want the one that’s a paint style. I’m looking for something that won’t be peeling in a year! Please let me know what you’ve tried and enjoyed!

For the people, that I on a daily basis force back around the cloverleaf on highway 21 and 16....You're welcome! It's a yield sign and not a merge, you don't get the right away. I REALLY don't mind enjoying my coffee and taking the long way to work just to see you have a tantrum because you didn't wait your turn.

Oh! And if I catch you at the Henday and Whitemud merge, I'll be sure to say hello there as well.

Have a GREAT day to those I pissed off! 😁

I am in the process of moving out of my apartment and have a bunch of miscellaneous furniture (mainly shelving) that i need to get rid of. Ive had th.listed on marketplace for the longest time and no one seems interested. Was wondering what the best place to bring my stuff to donate would be? Would need it gone by around Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks!

Where in sherwoodpark can I get rid of old beauty products? I have tons of really old lotions, make up, bath products,etc that I have never been able to figure out what to do with. There quite old so I dont think their good for donation and alot of things online advise against putting them down the drain or trash. Also the environment center website dosen't include skincare,etc so im unsure if they will take them either. Should I just throw them out or is there a recycling place that will dispose of them properly? Advice would be appreciated!

I have a couple car items - a set of the factory cloth mats and a canopy cover for an SUV that are unused but not needed and am unsure if there’s a good place to donate them? truthfully they have been sitting around our house for a few years just taking up space.

my spouse has tried to take them to goodwill before and was turned away. any ideas? it seems wasteful to throw them away. not looking to make any money either.

A pinball tournament in Sherwood Park this weekend is attracting pros with $10,000 worth of prizes, but is also open to anyone who wants to enjoy some pinball.

Sherwood Park seems to be booming with new construction projects. The condo complex behind the movie theatre seems to be mobilizing. The Brick and Burger King on the edge of Baseline. Gym/daycare in the old Safeway and yet another gym in the old Fabricland building has restarted construction. I'm sure there are more and I'd love to get a comprehensive list going but for now, can anyone tell me what is going in next to Smartstop Storage, behind the Planet Fitness? The food bank started a build in that same area last year but they just broke ground on something facing Broadway Blvd, anyone know what it is?

Also, any wild speculation on what the Loca building is going to become? Nail salon? Weed store? Gym?

umm so my family comes home yesterday afternoon-evening with our organic bin gone. i left my house at 11:45-40 AM and the garbage pickup was still not done. then, i come home from work eight hours later and apparently our bin just disappeared. now, we’re assuming someone stole it. idk who to call or contact for this and where we can find another one. atp it’s really odd to me someone would think to take a bin with a lid half broken. if you stole it, please return it. i promise my family is just laughing about it and there won’t be any harm. it’s really funny to think and reenact the scenario of someone stupid enough to steal a huge bin, so it’s got to be someone with a truck or a hauling trailer. anyways, please let me know!

A local elementary music teacher is turning a personal connection to multiple sclerosis into a major community fundraiser this month.

Apparently happened a couple weeks ago. Who else makes them anywhere close to the quality/size that Phat Boy made? They were so good. All my favorite places to eat keep closing while the big chains that serve garbage are thriving.

Housing costs in Strathcona County are holding steady at levels that are still relatively affordable by Canadian standards, but increasingly difficult for some residents to manage.

Recent figures show the benchmark home price in the county at about $418,500 over the past year, a slight decrease of roughly 1.8 per cent compared with the year before.

Other estimates put the median home value in a similar range, at roughly $424,800, reinforcing the picture of a market that has stabilized after sharper gains in earlier years.

That overall figure masks a wide spread in what buyers actually pay. Lower cost condos and townhomes can still be found below $300,000, while many detached homes in Sherwood Park are listed above $500,000. Prices climb significantly in rural areas, where acreage properties averaged about $859,900 in April 2026, up 3.6 per cent year over year.

On the rental side, the numbers show similar pressure.

-----

The average apartment rent in Sherwood Park is about $1,639 a month in 2026, with most units falling between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on size and location.

-----

Other data sources suggest slightly higher averages, closer to $1,841 per month overall, with one bedroom units around $1,572 and two bedroom units above $2,100.

Including houses and townhomes pushes the average higher. One regional dataset places overall rent across unit types at about $2,085 per month in the Sherwood Park area.

-----

Supply remains tight. Some private market data has shown vacancy rates around one per cent in the Sherwood Park and surrounding region, pointing to limited availability and continued competition among renters.

Looking for a decent gym to workout in Sherwood Park this weekend. Just drop in. Staying near the Millennium Event center as my husband is at a pinball convention.

The council for a major county adjacent to Edmonton has decided to keep its ambulance service the way it is after being forced to choose between keeping it but accepting less funding or turning it over to the province.
