Saturday June 11th and Sunday June 12th
9am – 11:30am
**If we get enough volunteers for Saturday clean up there is a good chance we won’t need to come back on Sunday. Please check facebook/our website for updates on the Sunday event before driving out there in the morning.
We meet at 9am and go for a few hours, please make sure you dress for the weather and we would advise AGAINST sandals or shorts/capri pants as the grass gets pretty long and dirty.

Our section of the QE II is the east side of the road, just north of Highway 625.

Thanks to everyone for coming out Saturday, we managed to finish the whole section today so no need for cleanup tomorrow!
We do it again in May, after the snow melts.

On August 15th we’ll be meeting in person, rather than online, for coffee night.
Second Cup Oliver Square, and we’ll be trying to get a table outside to reduce our risks. We ask that double vaccinated attend, to keep us as safe as possible.
If you are still uncomfortable meeting in person, or have not had your second vaccine dose yet, we will continue online coffee night once a month.
Jun 202021
When coffee night was in person we used to meet every two weeks. When covid hit we came online to do coffee night and then as some of us felt a bit isolated, bumped it up to every week.
As restrictions start relaxing, and more and more of us are double vaccinated, there will come a day when we head back out and support our local coffee places. For now, we’ll be moving back to a two week schedule for coffee night, staying online for just a little bit longer, in preparation for our transition to in person again.
Jun 122021
Tomorrow’s highway cleanup is no longer required, as we finished today. We’ll be doing it again in September, so watch for the event signup near the end of August. Thanks to all the volunteers!

POSTPONED Highway Cleanup (edmontonatheists.ca)
Due to weather forecast change we have decided it might be safer to finish off highway clean up next weekend instead. We were almost halfway finished yesterday so we may only need to get together on Saturday next weekend.
May 092021
Due to covid restrictions, teams of people from one house are preferable, although people are free to work alone. As outdoor events are currently limited to 5 people, we will break into two groups, starting at opposite ends of our section.
We meet at 9am and go for a few hours, please make sure you dress for the weather and we would advise AGAINST sandals or shorts/capri pants as the grass gets pretty long and dirty. Please also be advised that Alberta Transport requires volunteers for the highway cleanup to be at least 9 years of age.
We meet both Saturday and Sunday, all the details can be found on the events
