Yellow no more: Butterdome makeover to renew pavilion in green and gold | CBC News

The University of Alberta’s Butterdome, a central sports pavilion, is undergoing a $27-million makeover funded by the Alberta government. The iconic yellow exterior will be replaced with green and gold to reflect the university’s colors and the surrounding river valley’s fall foliage. The renovation aims to modernize the building, improve safety, and add sustainability features such as solar panels. The Butterdome, a landmark in Edmonton, will continue to serve the university and community for future generations.

Edmonton's new river valley strategy now in effect | Edmonton Journal

Edmonton's new river valley strategy, now in effect, aims to balance the conservation of the ecological corridor with recreational use and Indigenous knowledge. The strategy, which replaces the old Ribbon of Green North Saskatchewan River Valley and Ravine System Master Plan, introduces three land use classifications: preservation, conservation, and active/working landscapes. It aligns with the city's climate resilience policy and includes provisions for multi-use along sections of trail and improved accessibility for people with mobility concerns. The plan also calls for active monitoring of the valley to balance increased traffic and potential ecological impacts.
