The ice cream cone’s invention was pure serendipity and quick thinking, not careful planning.

During the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, an ice cream seller ran out of serving dishes on a bustling day.

With eager customers waiting, he glanced at a nearby waffle vendor.

Together, they rolled a hot waffle into a cone shape—suddenly creating an edible way to enjoy ice cream.

People loved the ingenious treat, relishing the chance to eat both dessert and container with no need for dishes.

Many have since claimed credit for this clever idea, but it was this Fair’s flash of creativity that spread the cone’s popularity worldwide.

Today, the cone is a summertime classic, showing how necessity and ingenuity can spark the sweetest traditions.

Women in Sherwood Park navigating perimenopause now have tailored support close to home.

For extra support, the Women’s Wellness Day for Pelvic Health arrives March 21, 2026, at Edmonton’s Burnewood Community Centre, featuring yoga and expert-led discussions for $80.

These accessible events highlight a positive shift for women’s health in the community.

An Edmonton man faces multiple charges after a voyeurism incident at a Sherwood Park store in June 2024.

According to police, a woman noticed a cellphone being slid under a fitting room door while she was changing.

She quickly seized the device and alerted staff, but the suspect escaped before authorities arrived.

During a detailed investigation, RCMP uncovered several videos showing additional victims being recorded without their consent in private settings.

Working alongside partner agencies, including the Canada Border Services Agency, officers identified Alejandro Santana Gutierrez, 37, of Edmonton.

He now faces charges of voyeurism, making, and possessing sexual abuse and exploitation material.

Gutierrez is scheduled to appear in court on March 18, 2026.

RCMP urge residents to remain vigilant in public changerooms and report any suspicious activity.

Strathcona County RCMP are warning Sherwood Park residents after a string of distraction thefts in local business parking lots between February 1 and March 1, 2026.

In at least five cases, victims were targeted by individuals claiming to need urgent help—often citing a family death or financial trouble—to gain trust.

Suspects posed as stranded motorists or those needing money, sometimes offering fake gold, jewelry, or counterfeit electronics in exchange.

Some victims were convinced to withdraw cash at ATMs or buy gift cards, while others had their real jewelry swapped for fakes in carefully executed scams.

The thieves typically drive rental vehicles with out-of-province plates, including Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia.

Residents are urged to stay alert, secure their valuables, and avoid strangers seeking physical contact or invading personal space.

Report any suspicious activity to police to help curb crime in our community.

Strathcona County is preparing to host the 2026 Alberta Summer Games, calling on local residents to volunteer and help create an unforgettable experience.

From July 16 to 19, over 1,800 young athletes from across Alberta will compete in sports such as mountain biking, swimming, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse.

Organizers need nearly 1,500 volunteers, offering a variety of roles from admissions and scorekeeping to medical support and event guidance.

Volunteer shifts range between two and four hours, with complimentary training, snacks, and access to view the sporting events provided.

Youth 16 and older can volunteer independently, while those aged 13 to 15 may participate with an adult.

Ward 8 Coun. Katie Berghofer highlights that volunteering provides valuable hands-on experience, helping youth build skills and confidence.

The Games are set to boost local tourism and showcase Strathcona County’s vibrant community.

Abby Guezen, an outside hitter from Sherwood Park, has earned the distinguished 2026 U SPORTS Women's Volleyball Player of the Year title, claiming the prestigious Mary Lyons Award.

The University of Alberta Pandas star led her team to the top seed in Canada West and held the No. 1 national ranking for much of the season.

Guezen posted an impressive 277 kills, averaged 3.90 kills per set, and delivered 44 aces—the second-highest in Pandas history for a single season.

This is the eighth occasion a Panda has received the U SPORTS regular season MVP honor, most recently following Kory White in 2022.

Guezen and her teammates are now competing at the national championship in Langley, B.C.

Safeway’s former Wye Road location in Village Market closed in March 2025, leaving a major vacancy in the local shopping centre.

Construction activity at the site is now fueling anticipation as crews begin renovations on the empty anchor space.

Plans suggest the building may be divided into multiple units to welcome new retailers or services.

While the property owner has yet to announce official tenants, speculation among residents points to potential uses like a fitness centre or daycare.

No formal lease agreements have been confirmed, but the evolving space draws significant local interest.

Located at the heart of Sherwood Park’s bustling Village Market, the redevelopment could boost business and convenience for shoppers travelling along Wye Road and Sherwood Drive.

Further tenant details are expected as renovation work continues and permits receive final approval.

Residents of Sherwood Park will soon enjoy expanded recreation thanks to a new indoor sports facility approved for Strathcona County.

Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2026 on the state-of-the-art fieldhouse at 240 Broadview Drive, conveniently located near Bethel Transit Terminal and Millennium Place.

Mayor Rod Frank emphasized the project’s importance in building a more active, connected community.

The versatile facility will offer a turf area dividable into quadrants, supporting multiple athletic groups simultaneously.

Planned amenities include modern lockers, team and officials’ rooms, washrooms, a multipurpose meeting space, and an inviting lobby.

Meanwhile, the Sherwood Park Crusaders Hockey Society is moving forward with a multipurpose arena at Cambrian Crossing, set to feature four ice sheets and seating for up to 3,500 at concerts.

Both projects highlight Strathcona County’s ongoing investment in top-quality recreation for the whole community.

In early January, two young puppies, Peanut Butter and his sister Banana, were found abandoned in a yard, left to fend for themselves.

Despite this tough beginning, the siblings have remained spirited and resilient.

Peanut Butter, the larger and more adventurous pup, loves playing with bigger dogs and excels at tug-of-war.

He shows a big appetite and is diligently working on mealtime manners.

Potty training is in progress, with leash training soon to follow as he continues becoming a well-rounded companion.

On the health front, Peanut Butter is gaining weight and will soon be neutered, as well as receive his puppy vaccinations.

He’s currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home—offering families the chance to foster before making it official.

Reach out to the rescue group to learn how you can welcome Peanut Butter into your home and give him a loving start.
