FROM THE EDITOR
Happy May, and welcome to this month’s very special issue—our 2nd Annual Best of T8N. In it we’re celebrating all your picks for the best places and services in St. Albert. But before we get started, we want to thank everyone for taking time to
participate in our Best of T8N survey. Like last year, we were thrilled by how many people voted and took the time to have their say.
In addition to sharing our survey results, we’re also delivering our regular features, starting with a conversation about STEM careers and why attracting girls to math and science careers matters. From there, our photo essay captures a portrait of the Special Olympics and the community-building power of sports. Piqued your interest? Well, hang on tight then; we’re just getting started…
This month’s Meet You There takes us to Midtown Apothecary, where you’ll find relief for your ailments and your sweet tooth. And speaking of sweets, batter up! We’ve got Bundt cakes on the menu. To wash them down, we’re suggesting a Mother’s Day mimosa bar and all the info for setting one up in style. In this month’s 8s, we’re offering tips for meeting your in-laws (Tip #1: Don’t spent too much time at the mimosa bar!).
Ready to get started? Then welcome to the Best of T8N—an extra special issue, thanks to you.
Happy reading.
