North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton
Let's see your river capture 🌊 A river never rushes, it simply finds its way. River Thames captured in London
The 1950s paving of Groat Ravine for car-centric development set a precedent. A 1960s plan to pave MacKinnon Ravine sparked intense civic conflict. Citizens fought to prioritize parkland over freeways, saving MacKinnon Ravine in 1984. edmontonrivervalley.org/newsletter
The NSRVCS encourages you to reach out to your 2025 election candidates to ask about their commitment to protecting the River Valley from unnecessary development so future generations can enjoy it! For a list of sample questions visit: edmontonrivervalley.org/newsletter
