Events Roundup
May 21, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder Mack Male. Mack recommends the Spring Bird Walk for anyone looking to learn bird identification by sight and sound in one of Edmonton's premier habitats.
Spring Bird Walk
📅 Sunday, May 24 9:00 AM
📍 Alfred H. Savage Centre
Spring is one of the most exciting times in the river valley — especially for bird lovers.
Here's what Mack had to say:
"My family loves walking through the Whitemud Creek Ravine. We have been lucky enough several times to see owls, falcons, and other birds pointed out to us by the many photographers who visit the trail. A guided walk led by experts would be an even better way to enjoy this lovely part of our river valley. Bring your binoculars!"
