'Tis the season for winter and Christmas Markets to be popping up nearby. Here's one right here in our neighbourhood at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church
RMAS Junior Archaeological Scavenger Hunt & Fundraiser until Oct 31, 25 - 4712 Malmo Rd
The Royal Malmo Archaeological Society returns to Malmo Plains this Halloween season with a bigger dig and even more fun programming for the community!
Resident Halloween Fanatics Mike and Kelsey Kendrick (located at 4712 Malmo Road) invite neighbours to visit their cursed mummy's tomb on Halloween night and explore the depths of the Necropolis of Ibu-Nefret. Trick-or-treaters of all ages are welcome to venture into the crypt, which has been overrun by the wrath of ancient Egyptian deities, awakened by last year's archaeological dig.
In the days leading up to October 31, the Royal Malmo Archaeological Society is also recruiting Junior Archaeologists, inviting young members of the community to join in an archaeological scavenger hunt to recover lost relics and the notes of researchers who've gone missing in the field. Explorers can pick up a worksheet from headquarters at 4712 Malmo Road, then search the neighbourhood to locate these hidden objects and decode their riddles. Those who do so successfully can bring their worksheets to the tomb on Halloween night in exchange for prizes.
Mike and Kelsey have also organized a fundraiser in support of the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, which strives to level the educational playing field for children who come to the classroom at a disadvantage, supporting programs that exist outside of the Government of Alberta’s public funding. Donations $25 and over are eligible for a charitable tax receipt, and can be made by visiting the fundraiser page:

Radon: The Silent Killer May Be Lurking in Your Home
You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it — yet radon could be silently putting your health at risk. In Canada, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right after smoking, and the number one cause among non-smokers.
What’s even more concerning is that the Canadian Prairies have the second-highest residential radon levels in the world, surpassed only by Poland. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, sump pumps, and other openings — often going undetected for years.
A Personal Story that Hits Close to Home
Malmo resident Greg Gazin knows firsthand how real this threat can be. When testing his own home in the Malmo community, Greg discovered dangerously high levels of radon. After having his home professionally mitigated, he dove deep into the science and solutions behind this invisible hazard.
Greg, a writer, podcaster, and contributor to Troy Media, has since published a series of authoritative articles on radon awareness and detection which included speaking with experts, scientist and people affected by Radon. His mission is to help homeowners understand the risks and take simple, practical steps to protect themselves and their families. Read Greg's articles.
WINE AND PAINT NIGHT - Saturday, November 8 (Register before November 1) from 6:45PM to 9:00PM at the Community Hall
Find your inner artist and paint a masterpiece. A fun evening with a group of up to 20 participants. Wine for purchase. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages available, too. Call Cheryl 780-975-7174.
HALLOWEEN FUN - now until Friday, October 31 at 4712 Malmo Road
Have you seen the Facebook posts or the posters around the neighbourhood? Mike and Kelsey have put together the "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb" scavenger hunt in the days leading up to October 31 PLUS a walk-through haunted tomb and "Grown-Up Trick-or-Treating" on Halloween night. Kids, pick up your official Royal Malmo Archeological Society (R.M.A.S.) worksheet at the little library at the address above anytime before Halloween. Get in on the action!
PIZZA AND GAMES NIGHT - Saturday, October 25 from 3:00PM to 9:00PM at the Community Hall
