In honour of National Donut Day, today we curate a list of some of our favourite places around Edmonton to get your sugary fix. We are not sure who comes up with these type of “holidays”, but we are glad for this one. While places such as Tim Horton’s and nearby supermarkets offer the tried and true fried doughy staples, Edmonton is a bustling foodie city. As such, it comes to no surprise for locals alike to make an effort to visit some specialty stores.

Doughnut Party – 10938 119 Street

Boasting a menu of 6 different donuts baked fresh every day, Doughnut Party is one of the OG specialty shops in Edmonton with both classic flavours and creative, bold combinations. Follow their Instagram to stay up to date on what’s on the menu for the day.

Moonshine Donuts – Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market

With each batch made fresh and with tender care, Moonshine Donuts normally sells their product at the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market each Saturday morning. Their creative chefs are inspired by unique flavours with an inspiring presentation that is truly Insta-worthy.

Destination Donuts – 10548 124 Street

If donuts were an art, Destination Donuts would be the Picasso. Handmade fresh daily, their variety of donuts are sure to satisfy any craving. Their Instagram showcases their works of art. See it for yourself.

Although there are still numerous places around the city, these places have provided us with satisfying, memorable moments of donut joy. Edmonton has the blessed problem of too many donut places to choose from. If you are visiting the Ramada Edmonton Yellowhead, be sure to ask our staff for their favourite picks.

Happy National Donut Day!


Edmonton Applies To Become The Winner For Canada’s Smart City Design

Edmonton participated in a nationwide contest to be selected for Smart City design in 2018. Once the finalist round arrived, the city was among the five finalists and at stake was $60 million in government infrastructure investment for the winning city. The actual winner of the challenge has not yet to date been chosen as the review panel is in the process of visiting each finalist for a final comparison of their planning proposals. However, Edmonton has definitely put in a significant effort to reach the top.

The city’s proposal is focused on health and an exact needs collaboration among government, residents, private sector and non-profit entities. By incorporating analytics, technology and data collection, the decision-making involved in the proposal is expected to advance the ability of equal opportunity to healthy living for all Edmonton residents.
The primary goals of the challenge are for a municipality to improve the lives of its residents via information, innovation, security and privacy.

The winning city will receive $50 million from the Canadian government for infrastructure development to be matched by $5 million from the city itself as well as $5 million from a consortium of local non-profit partners and private investment. This last piece can be both direct financial as well as in-kind commitments, and a key factor is leveraging local resources already in place for related partnerships. One example could be improved hotel resources to expand the capability of tourism which in turn boosts local economies, adds jobs, and increases trade and commerce within the local region.

While the winner has not been picked yet, Edmonton has already achieved a massive win in becoming one of the final five choices, beating out the crowd of 130 different municipalities vying for the same price. So there is a high probability of the city reaching the finish line on this opportunity.

Locals, including our staff at the Ramada Edmonton Yellowhead, are proud of the city’s construction and development over the years.
