Weekend itineraries: summer is getting close

Warmer weather means spending time outdoors, and a great way to explore the outdoors is by booking a hike with Talking Rock Tours. If you have ever been interested in learning more about the geology surrounding us and hearing about Indigenous cultural connections with the land, then this is the tour for you. Head over to their website to find a list of interpretive hikes, including one in Elk Island National Park. You can also book custom tours if you’re looking to explore more of Strathcona County!

While you’re out and about in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County this weekend, swing by Donair and Shawarma House to try authentic Mediterranean food. With an extensive menu that includes maybe the biggest donairs you’ve ever seen, you will likely walk away feeling more full than you ever have been. Don’t worry; you can ask for a container to take home leftovers. Find them in Broadmoor Boulevard this weekend!

Don’t forget that Father’s Day is coming in a few weeks. If you haven’t started to think about what gift to get the dad in your life, head over to River City Games to check out their selection. From board games to card games, puzzles to billiards, or even game room furniture, this is a great place to stop by and find an excellent gift. Found in Aspen Plaza, they’re open all weekend to help you find the perfect game.
