Events Roundup
July 2, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder Mack Male. Mack recommends City of Edmonton Archives Tour on July 10 and 11; a great chance to explore a beautiful historic building and see how our city's history is collected and preserved.
City of Edmonton Archives Tour
📅 Friday, July 10 1:00 PM
📍 Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre
Located in the provincially and municipally designated Prince of Wales Armouries, the City of Edmonton Archives is dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and making accessible Edmonton's documentary heritage.
Here's what Mack had to say:
"I have spent many hours at the City of Edmonton archives over the years, learning about our city's past. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and it is amazing the artifacts they have preserved. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how Edmonton's history shapes its present."

BirdBelly is the new moniker of Métis singer-songwriter Cynthia Hamar—a cinematic, poetic Americana project that blends deep roots with spiritual insight. Rooted in authenticity, resilience, and the wild grace of the prairie landscape, BirdBelly's songs carry both tenderness and ferocity — music that feels lived-in, hard-won, and offered with an open hand.
