Green Drinks - 1st Wed of every month


(http://www.thelocalgood.ca/wp-conten...een-drinks.jpg)

Green Drinks Edmonton is is a simple, unstructured event that brings together environmentally-minded Edmontonians in a relaxed, agenda-free evening of networking and great conversation.

Although Green Drinks Edmonton is an organic, casual event, many people have found employment, developed new ideas, made business connections, and had moments of serendipity!

GET TIX: https://greendrinksnotinyeg.eventbrite.ca/

Edmonton is a pretty fantastic city. World class, you might say.

But, maybe there's something missing?

Green Drinks: #NotInYEG is all about the great ideas, exciting intiatives, wild projects that exist elsewhere but are not in Edmonton . . . yet.

Don't worry, we're not sending anyone away with homework. This evening is all about connecting with the community, allowing these ideas to be hashed out, to be shared. Let's talk about the Edmonton we want to see.

Have you seen something in other cities that you wish we had here?
Have you had an idea for years of something Edmonton really needs?
Looking to get involved locally but haven't found a project that really grabs you?

You'll walk away feeling inspired and maybe, you'll want to make something.

Tickets: $10 in advance. $15 at the door.

Join the conversation: #GreenDrinksYEG #notinyeg

7 Reasons not to miss Green Drinks: Hidden Gems - May 6 - 7pm - Yellowhead Brewery


1. Not one, but TWO incredibly passionate individuals share their journey into the heart of Edmonton

Shayne Woodsmith and Gillian Thomson have found Edmonton to hold many unique people and places; they host Faces of Edmonton and The Noteworthy, respectively! Our two speakers have been exploring Edmonton through interviews, discovering beautiful stories and intriguing hidden gems. Join us to hear them share their stories and our stories.

2. Discover a secret and not-so-secret garden!

Hopefully you have made the trek to see the University of Alberta's Devonian Garden which boasts a stunning 240-acre cultivated garden, plant collections, indoor showhouses, and extensive nature trail system. But, have you heard of the Secret Garden in #yeg?


3. Above and beyond our attending guests; other local businesses have donated door prizes
Extra goodies from Mother Earth Essentials (lotion), Knifewear (two tickets to a knife class) & Red Sparrow Gallery ($100 off a $350+ custom piece). Every time, the team at The Local Good "complains" about how we can't enter in for the door prizes, but this one really hurts. You're welcome, friends!

4. Curious about some of #yeg's inventions?

Look no further! Due to an assignment at the University of Alberta and a clever idea; Rhynopack was born. Need we say more?


5. Go Green this summer; EBC's got your back

There is a community for everyone in our fair city; the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters and our beautiful bicycle community goes over and above! Check them out for a handy space for a tune up, a biking buddy or a whole tour, or a refurbished bike.

6. Surprise! Local Shopping when you least expect it

Edmonton is bursting with creative entrepreneurs and On the Spot Pop Up brings them front and centre. The folks at OtSPU's know the most niche location and the best artisans. Plus, they're bringing a local product goodie bag, so you might walk out of the Yellowhead with some hidden gems.


7. Bored? Perhaps you actually need a board. . .

Table Top Cafe boasts an extensive collection of board games to be enjoyed. An excellent twist to the classic coffee shop; bring a friend or discover one over Risk! They've recently celebrated one year, and with over 400 board games to play, they're playing the long game. You may also start your own board game collection as TTC will bringing Camel Up to give away.


This is our last Green Drinks of the 2014-2015 season, so please come say hello on Wednesday, May 6, before we take a break for the summer. Save money and time and pick up your tickets now on Eventbrite. Then, we'll send you off with great ideas and intriguing locations to spend your summer exploring Edmonton's Hidden Gems.

- Kathryn Joel founded Get Cooking in 2011, initially teaching classes from her home kitchen in Riverbend in SW Edmonton. Her belief is that with some basic cooking skills and a good local knowledge of where to source the right ingredients, anyone can bring flavours from around the world into their own kitchens.
